About the course
Private parkland golf among rolling hills on Sydney's Northern Beaches
Bayview Golf Club is a private, 18-hole parkland course in Bayview, New South Wales, on Sydney's Northern Beaches, playing to a par of 70. Established in 1933, the layout features tree-lined fairways, dogleg holes, waterways and 32 mapped bunkers. The club offers a pro shop, restaurant and dining, with parking on site. A clubhouse lounge, bar and restaurant overlook the 18th green and its landmark elephant water feature.
Bayview enjoys a reputation as a friendly, relaxed club, and visitors regularly single out its well-maintained course and scenic setting among rolling hills and palm trees. The clubhouse draws particular praise, with players highlighting the plush facilities, welcoming staff, and bar views over the course that make it a popular spot for lunch and a drink, as well as for functions and weddings. The pro shop is generally well regarded for its range, and the undercover parking is a noted bonus on hot summer days. Feedback is more mixed on a few practical points: the low-lying ground can be prone to wet conditions in winter, and some golfers have found pace of play frustrating on busy days. Overall, the impression is of a characterful, community-minded parkland course where the experience extends well beyond the round itself.
