About the course
Ross Watson parkland golf on an island in the Nambucca River
Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-70 parkland course in Nambucca Heads, New South Wales, set on an island in the Nambucca River. Designed by Ross Watson and established in 1926, the course measures 5,285 metres and features 33 mapped bunkers. It operates on a daily-fee basis and offers a pro shop, restaurant and dining, cart hire, coaching and parking.
Players consistently describe this as one of the more scenic rounds in the region, with the island setting and river views framing nearly every hole. The course is widely praised for its good greens, fair fairways and pleasant variety of holes, making for an enjoyable, walkable layout. The clubhouse and river-deck dining come up repeatedly as a highlight, with many reviewers singling out the friendly, helpful pro shop staff and the relaxed atmosphere after a round. Reputation around food service and group bookings is more mixed, so larger social groups may want to confirm arrangements ahead of time. Overall, the impression is of a beautiful, welcoming club where the setting is the standout draw.
