This first class array of facilities provided in a friendly, relaxed, inclusive and highly social environment. The extraordinary layout of The Lakes is one of the most memorable golfing experiences in Australia. The four Par 5’s including the famous water carry on the 14th hole provide a challenging test for every golfer. The hosting of the Australian Open in three consecutive years has resulted in international acclaim for the highest level of presentation. With the entire course built on the Sydney Sandbelt the golf course is regarded as one of the best wet weather courses in the region. The final nine holes borders the Botany Aquifer and wetlands area, with an abundance of wild life, scenic views and a range of tempting golf shots. The first-class facilities are used by numerous major corporations and small to medium businesses for functions, meetings and seminars. With picturesque views of the golf course, our function rooms create the perfect atmosphere for wedding receptions, cocktail parties or corporate events.

Royal Canberra is regarded as one of Australia’s best inland courses. Set in the picturesque Westbourne Woods arboretum, the variety of trees, including pines, birch and cedar as well as Australian natives, provides Members and their guests with a sensory experience that matches anything the world of golf can offer.

Since 1897, the Wollongong Golf Club has worked tirelessly to foster a grass roots sporting culture. We pride ourselves on self-development, community involvement and participation and as such, have developed the following vision: "To be recognised as regional Australia's strongest member owned golf organisation." We have always recognised that our people are our most valuable asset, whether they be our members, our visitors or our staff. We are continuously striving to provide the best possible resources and facilities for these groups, and to invoke a sense of enrichment and enjoyment from everyone involved. Extending beyond the golf course, the Wollongong Golf Club has invested heavily in the areas of environmental sustainability and corporate citizenship. We are currently focused on further developing ourselves as an industry leader and a sought after destination for golf, accommodation, dining and functions.
