Albany Golf Club Top 100 Review

Albany Golf Club is nestled on the South Coast of Western Australia amongst coastal sand dunes with magnificent ocean views of King George Sound. Established in 1898 as a nine-hole course and enlarged in the 1960s, it is home to Western Australia's oldest golf club. Often described as one of the best courses in Australia and ranked in the top 100, Albany offers a challenging coastal layout that plays differently with changing conditions. The course's defining characteristic is its dramatic seaside setting, with holes routed through sand dunes overlooking the sound. The challenging nature of the course is highlighted by professional golfer Craig Parry's assessment of it as "a great course by the ocean, which plays hard and is never the same." The combination of its historic significance, elevated ranking among Australian courses, and distinctive coastal terrain make it a notable destination for serious golfers seeking a challenging and scenic round.
