About New South Wales Golf Club Golf Course

New South Wales Golf Club sits on Cape Banks at La Perouse in Sydney's southern suburbs — a dramatic headland jutting into Botany Bay with views across to the Sydney city skyline, the Kingsford Smith Airport, and the open Tasman Sea beyond. Designed by Alister MacKenzie during his 1926 Australian visit, the course occupies one of the most dramatically positioned golf sites in Australia, with holes routing along clifftops, through coastal heath, and around rock formations at the water's edge. MacKenzie used the natural headland terrain masterfully — hole after hole presents choices between aggressive lines along the cliff edge and safer inland routes, demanding strategic decisions throughout the round. New South Wales Golf Club consistently ranks in Australia's top five and the world's top 50, representing MacKenzie's finest Australian coastal work and one of the great clifftop golf experiences in the southern hemisphere. The club is private but operates a modest visitor policy for overseas travelling golfers through formal application.
