New South Wales Golf Club
# New South Wales Golf Club

The New South Wales Golf Club is a links-style golf course designed by Alister MacKenzie in December 1926. It consists of 18 holes, two of which are beside the Tasman Sea and Botany Bay. The course is situated in La Perouse, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney, and regularly rates in the top 50 golf courses in the world.

MacKenzie, on designing the course, stated:

   "At Sydney, I made an entirely new course for the New South Wales Golf Club at a place called La Perouse. This presents, I think, more spectacular views than any place I know with the possible exception of the new Cypress Point golf course in California."

A unique feature of the course design is that it has four par-five holes and four par-three holes and each of these is oriented north, south, east and west.

It has hosted numerous professional tournaments, including the 2009 Australian Open; won by Adam Scott.
