New South Wales, Australia
Wollongong Golf Club, established in 1897, is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic courses. Located along the Wollongong CBD coastline, it occupies a spectacular position between the beach and the Illawarra escarpment, offering uninterrupted ocean views and a dramatic mountain backdrop.
The course features an 18-hole links-style layout with five beachside holes that exemplify its unique coastal character. The design delivers sweeping panoramic views and challenging seaside conditions characteristic of true links golf. The dramatic positioning between ocean and escarpment creates one of NSW's most distinctive golfing environments.
The club has hosted significant tournaments including the 2025 Women's NSW Open, NSW PGA Championships, and Australian Junior Amateur. Its scenic clifftop setting and coastal challenge make it a premier tournament venue.
Beyond golf, the club functions as a comprehensive lifestyle destination. The 19th Clubhouse includes The Deck restaurant with panoramic views, the Tap Inn Bar and Lounge, and the 1897 Garden Bar. The facility accommodates weddings, events, and family activities, with 4-star seaside accommodation and onsite parking available. The club emphasizes inclusivity and community engagement alongside competitive and social golf.
