Shoalhaven Heads Golf Club

South Coast, NSW | User Rating: Rate-3 (3.5) | Add A Review

The secret is out, this 15 hole course by the sea is a beauty. You will experience the uniqueness of the design together with its testing large manicured greens.
Located just 2 hours drive south of Sydney on the beautiful South Coast, just a few minutes from Berry, the town of trees, with its numerous cafes and antique shops, is a must on your next golfing itinerary.
After the game enjoy the hospitality that will be extended to you in the licensed club house. Drinks on the verandah overlooking the 15th green is a pleasant spot to sit and relax.

This course now has 15 holes with the the first 3 holes being played twice to make up the full 18. Plans for the final 3 holes are under way. This is a testing course with out of bounds on the right side of 10 holes. The wind plays a big influence here as you can here the surf crashing on the beach for most of the round, and, club selection can change from round to round. Being made on sand dunes there are generous quality bunkers throughout the layout both fairway and greenside. The large greens make for good pitching targets but beware, four putts and five putts can eventuate with a lack of concentration. Long putts can be tricky as two greens are 50 metres in length and all greens are undulating so consider pin placement. It is hard to pick a signature hole but my pick would be the 250 m par 4, reachable in 1 for the brave but if you hit a bunker you may well hit into another trying to get on the dance floor.

The greens here can put some better known courses to shame for the condition they are kept in.

I'm not usually a fan of nine hole golf courses but I must say that this one is by far one of the best maintained and diverse I have come across. First thing you will notice is the huge green sizes which are looked after as well, if not better than most 18 hole courses. Good vary between par 3, 4 and 5's allows you a chance to use most clubs in the bag which is something not always found on the shorter courses. Enjoyable to play, is a shame the course could not have been 18 holes because it would be a challenging course with the ocean winds being a matter of a few hundred meters away.
