played this year 4 times but very disappointing because there are no management system at all. The golf culb management should be more careful to take care of the courses. $150 per person is absurd….

Played the course several weeks ago. Was very dissapointed with the speed of greens and overall condition of the course. There are some great holes but also many average holes. The pro shop staff were also very unpleasant.

I've had the pleasure of playing Terrey Hills a few times now and it's certainly one of the best courses I've ever played.

High hadicappers will walk away in awe of the course, most likely a bit battered and bruised from the challenge, but wanting to take up the challenge of playing again.

Low handicappers will be rewarded if they bring their A game. Anything less and the course will jump up and bite them. (Oh yes, snakes are permanent residents on the course so beware when your ball goes bush)

Greens are really fast and the subtle ridges are not easy to read. Even hitting greens in regulation is no assurance of Par.

The clubhouse and facilities are top class. Pro shop is well stocked with knowledgable staff. They have a Callaway fitting system, pretty much assuring any golfer of being able to find the best combination of shafts and heads to suit their swing.

Don't knock back an invite to play the course. You'll regret it if you do.

Sometimes you walk away from a golf experience and you can't make up your mind whether you like the course or not. I've decided I really do like Terrey Hills because no matter the quirks in design, it's finish is top class.

The front nine plays largely amongst a forested area on this plateau in Sydney's northern suburbs. There's water in play on a few holes, but for most of the time your thoughts are about keeping it straight and avoiding the trees and scrub. The highlights on this nine for me include the third, a dogleg left par 4 where an accurate long iron from the tee sets up an approach across the edge of the dam to a green set against a hill, sloping down towards the water. The seventh is also a strong par 4, largely downhill but quite long and tight. I've played here twice and found the green twice only to badly read my first putt and miss my par - I caution the green doesn't read easily! The par 5 ninth is a good risk/reward hole, reachable in two by longer hitters, but a risky play with another dam abutting one side of the green.

The back nine opens up a little - I won't quite call it links-style but it seems to try to be, which is why I had to decide whether I liked it or not. Whilst more open from foliage, it has more bunkering and what water abounds is more prominent in your shot selection. The best holes this side in my opinion are the par 3 15th, a mid-long length slightly downhill shot defending against water to the right, and the par 4 17th, quite straight but long, well protected by a dam front right.

A private course that unusually is one of the few debenture membership set-ups in NSW (several in Melbourne and the norm in Asia), I rate it top 5 in Sydney as it's finish is on a par with any course I've played.
