An hour's drive from Sydney is the Wentworth Falls Country club. Located in the spectacular Blue Mountain region and named after a nearby waterfall, this classic parkland course features 19 holes of good golfing.

The fairways at Wentworth Falls are wide with medium to long holes. The play here rewards powerful drives and doesn't especially punish inaccuracy off the tee. The first hole is considered the Blue Mountains' best opening hole as it doglegs before a two-tier sloping green that falls from right to light. The course is divided by a road and splits into three distinct courses. Cart hire is available but the flatness of the course makes for an easy walk.

Wentworth Falls Country Club practices fairways, bunkers, and greens are well maintained. The club offers a variety of deals that include free cart hire and drinks as well as an impressive golf clinic from resident PGA pro-David Paddison. For $10 every Wednesday, entry-level players can get a knowledgeable introduction to the game.

The large, open, and bright clubhouse is modern. Flanked by native trees and looking out to the picturesque course, the bar, restaurant, and pro shop offer unspoiled views across the landscape. Wentworth Falls' golf appeals to all golfing abilities and feels tidy, well maintained, and with a character of its own. With play and stay packages on offer at the club and many other courses nearby, this impressive part of Australia makes for a great golfing and holiday experience.
