Had my first game at NSW this week. Had always wanted to play it having seen it on tv and know of the great history. However, I must say I was quite disappointed!! Probably the most over-rated golf course in Sydney. Look their is some spectacular holes I do acknowledge that, ie the 5th, 6th, 16th etc. However all-in-all I found it a bit disappointing. It is not a long course but definately a straight man’s course and very difficult. I thought the sheer number of blind shots makes it quite “mickey mouse.” I don’t mind a couple of blind shots or tees but this course went well overboard. I also thought the upkeep of the course was ok but nothing out of the ordinary. Price tag – they charged me 165 and my overseas guests 270!! I couldn’t believe they get away with charging overseas guests a higher price tag! Was not worth anywhere near the 165 it cost me anyway! I also played The Australian recently which I thought was awesome and walks all over NSW.

Quite simply the best course I have played on. I play several times a year with friends who are members and every hole is interesting and boasts one more more aesthetic highlights.

i think this course is a farm, and i was wondering when they were going to let the animals back on it…the hole course should be demolished and sold to investors so they can build apartments on it.. hitting drivers into par 4;s isnt golf its a joke…..

that par 3 would actually be the 6th...and i agree, its spectactular.

Have played all round Aussie and this great course is still the best.

Have played in a gale and in calm conditions, but no matter what the weather it is a great test of golf.

Each hole is unique and a challenge in its own right, except for 18 where the designer must have run out of ideas and said to the developer "plonk down a 500 metre hole with a slightly elevated green, i'm off for a drink"

If you have the chance to play there...GO FOR IT... and if you are not playing off the plates sneek across the bridge on the 7th and play it at its full length (best par 3 i have played)

Same goes for 16, best par 4 I have played

A very challenging course that didnít beat me as much as I thought it would. Measures 6232m Par 72 from championship plates (5954m Par 72 from the whites, and 5542m Par 75 for the ladies) with four Par 3s ranging from 150-185m, 10 Par 4s ranging from 295-405m and 4 Par ... Show

A very challenging course that didnít beat me as much as I thought it would. Measures 6232m Par 72 from championship plates (5954m Par 72 from the whites, and 5542m Par 75 for the ladies) with four Par 3s ranging from 150-185m, 10 Par 4s ranging from 295-405m and 4 Par 5s ranging from 470-505m. The teebeds and greens were excellent, with latter having true speed and grain, that is mostly tiered with front running off either to fairway or a hazard. I quite liked the bunker/green complex, and the teebeds were excellent, while the fairways were extremely dry brownish-yellow colour, but had smooth roll for extra length on drive!

Played here 5/5/06 and found the par 5s quite ordinary for such an extraordinary club, with all being 2 shots on green with not much of a challenge. Par 3s were all of similar club from tee, but the 6th island tee is one for the postcard. The par 4s were very challenging (except the 1st which is drivable off the tee). No water in play here except the 6th, but many OOB & natural vegetation typical of links courses to contend with.

Many personal favourite holes here, so you may as well fork out the visitor $145 green fees plus $40 for a cart (as it is quite hilly to walk, but not a heart-stopper) to experience it yourself. Clubhouse and staff are very friendly, which makes up for the cold looks some members may give you. One of the most memorable experiences of golf in my lifetime.

Well I had the pleasure of playing this great course just before Christmas. I will never forget it, The Greatest Golf Course I have ever played on.

Well I had the pleasure of playing this great course just before Christmas. I will never forget it, The Greatest Golf Course I have ever played on. Scenery was sensational, Course was in excellent condition & and the sense of tradition in the place was awesome. I played in benign conditions and played ok but I could see how the weather could turn this great course into a monster. This is a must play golf course for every golfer in the world sometime in their lifetime.

We played here yesterday in a corporate day. The weather looked ominous, but thankfully it held off and we only received a couple of drops of rain. No matter how good or bad you are playing, any time you are playing at NSW is a good day!! The greens are slick ... Show

The greens are slick and true. The fairways are spongy and in perfect condition.

Being good off the tee is a big, big help. Having to hit over trees and scrub on holes like 3, 14 and 16 will be a challenge if you struggle with the driver.

The 5th is a magic hole. Stand on top of the hill on this hole and take in the views.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Stunning views, wonderful golf course and close to the city. NSW is the categorically the best course in sydney and ranks alongside Royal Melbourne West and Kingston Heath as the three best courses in the country.

The view as you crest the ridge on the Par five fifth will steal your breath away. A very memorable place to play.

I'm always wondering what the weather will be like when playing New South. You secretly hope that it blows hard so the course beats you to death but you're thankful when it doesn't. I can't think of to many courses where scoring well exhilarates you more, you know you've played well ... Show

I can't think of to many courses where scoring well exhilarates you more, you know you've played well if you score well here. You have to do it with every club in the bag.

Clubhouse staff are always friendly to the visitor which is great at a private club.

Standing on the hill at the 5th, the views are breathtaking. Then they ask you to play a par 3 across the ocean at the 6th. All opened with a delightful short par 4 to get you in a good mood.

The greens are small & fast, and some of the fairways are quite tight due to the scrub.

If you get a chance to play one course in Sydney, then this should be it.
