Poll:
How many of the Golf Digest Australia Top 100 Golf Courses have you played?
Latest Course Played:
TOP 100: St Michaels Golf Club: 1st-April-2013
Making the trip across the bridge to St Michaels was well worth it. This coastal course, located next to NSW GC is a great track to play, giving great views of the course and the Tasman Sea. I originally played here in an ambrose event in 2006, so I don't know why it took so long to return. Read more...
OTHER: Stonecutters Ridge Golf Club: 17th-March-2013
Probably the most significant course opening in Sydney in recent years, was the long awaited opening of Stonecutters Ridge. This is the first Greg Norman Designed golf course in the Sydney region. Read more...
