Hawks Nest Golf Club

New South Wales, Australia

Hawks Nest Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course located on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales, approximately 2.5 hours from Sydney. The course features tree-lined fairways situated in a coastal setting with panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape. The layout is designed to reward precise shot-making, with emphasis on good drives, accurate iron play, and a sharp short game. The course is characterized by deceptively quick greens and presents a challenging test for golfers of all skill levels. The terrain and design reward strategic positioning off the tee. Notable for its immaculate maintenance under Superintendent Ben Mills, the course combines championship-level difficulty with natural beauty. Course architect Craig Parry, an iconic Australian professional golfer, has been instrumental in guiding the club's continuous improvement efforts. Parry's design expertise has contributed to creating what is considered one of the finest golfing experiences in New South Wales. The club offers all-weather playability and is easily accessible from Sydney, Newcastle, and Port Stephens, making it a destination venue. The clubhouse provides dining facilities and event spaces complementing the golf experience.
