Inaugurated in 1882, The Australian Golf Club is the oldest golf course in Australia and one of the most prestigious.
A true private members facility, the original 18 holes at The Australian, designed by Clark, Hutchinson and Martin, were updated by golf legend Jack Nicklaus in 1974, with further amendments to the layout in 2014. Revered for its exceptional conditioning, challenging greens complexes and ever-changing wind directions, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Design ensures that every hole presents a test for golfers. Here, Pine-lined couch fairway corridors contrast against the white sanded bunkers, providing a vastly different experience to neighbouring Sydney courses in Sydney, and the golfing experience on the Melbourne Sandbelt.
One of the leading tournament venues in the country, The Australian has hosted over twenty Australian Open Championships, including the inaugural event in 1904. With the opportunity to challenge the fairways graced by some of the world’s greatest golfers and experience the first-class hospitality of the Clubhouse, a visit to “The Aussie ” is a treat for those fortunate to have the opportunity.
