Charlestown Golf Course

Parkland golf wrapped in Lake Macquarie bushland, built for every level

Charlestown Golf Course is a private 18-hole parkland course in Mount Hutton, New South Wales, in the Lake Macquarie area. It plays to a par of 73 over 6,152 metres, with around 25 mapped bunkers set amongst bushland surrounds. Facilities include a driving range, clubhouse, restaurant/dining and cart hire.

Set amongst picturesque bushland, Charlestown carries the reputation of a welcoming community club, and visitors frequently highlight the friendly, familiar service and the lively calendar of social events. Players tend to enjoy the natural scenery and tranquil setting, with the greens often described as consistent and some of the newer holes singled out for their views. As a layout that suits golfers of all levels, it pairs an enjoyable round with a sociable atmosphere off the course. Some recent feedback points to the course feeling like it is in a transition phase, and a few golfers have noted gripes around the driving range, so experiences can vary. Overall, the club is generally regarded as a relaxed, community-focused destination rather than a polished championship test.
