Newcastle Golf Course is situated at the mouth of the Hunter River, a two-hour drive from Sydney, in the stunning Hunter Region.
Newcastle is one of only two courses in New South Wales given international recognition by the panel of experts rating the World's Top 100 Courses. It has recently been rated "International Honourable Mention", meaning that it has won sufficient points to be worthy of inclusion in the Top 100 courses outside the USA.
As only a handful of the World Panel has played in Newcastle, it speaks volumes that those who have played this hidden gem rate it so highly. In 1972 and 2011 Newcastle hosted the NSW Open.
A true, par 72 championship course of 6,200-metres, Newcastle is based on undulating sand dunes like those of the historic links of Great Britain and Ireland. However, instead of fairways lined by gorse and heather, Newcastle is carved out of a forest of eucalypts and anglophones.
Newcastle also abounds in native flora and fauna including kookaburras, bearded dragons, and wallabies, making it a delightful as well as a challenging course to play.
Clubhouse facilities include a practice fairway, large chipping and putting greens, a fully serviced golf shop, bar, and catering. Newcastle Golf Club is open to the public and offers golfers of all levels a spectacular and memorable golfing opportunity that can be experienced either walk or cart.
