Chatswood Golf Club

Short, scenic valley golf and long lunches in the heart of Chatswood

Chatswood Golf Club is a 9-hole, par-26 daily-fee course in Chatswood West, New South Wales, measuring 1,982 metres with 11 mapped bunkers. Set in a leafy valley overlooking the Lane Cove River, it forms part of a mixed-use precinct that includes the Italian restaurant Dodici, the Tempo cafe, a gym, and wedding and events space. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining and parking. The course is noted as Australia's first purpose-built 12-hole golf course.

Recently renovated and reopened, Chatswood Golf Club has impressed players with its smart clubhouse facilities, tidy conditioning and standout valley setting, with several reviewers calling out the scenic, nature-filled surrounds and easy parking. Reviews frame it as a short, relaxed and approachable round well suited to a quick game, with players noting some holes play quite short and a few crossover points to watch for. The on-site dining draws plenty of praise, and many visitors describe coming for the golf and staying for a meal at Dodici or Tempo. Affordable cart-and-drinks deals and a leisurely 'time well spent' atmosphere round out its reputation as a destination as much as a golf course.
