Cromer Golf Course

Private parkland oasis between Narrabeen Lagoon and Garigal National Park

Cromer Golf Course is a private, members' parkland course at Wheeler Heights on Sydney's Northern Beaches, New South Wales, established in 1926 and designed by James Wilcher. The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 70 and sits adjacent to Narrabeen Lagoon, surrounded by Garigal National Park. A recent redesign introduced tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers, well-manicured greens and watercourses. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and dining, a clubhouse, club hire, coaching and parking.

Players consistently describe Cromer as one of the most scenic settings around Sydney, with the lagoon and national park bushland framing a peaceful, quiet round. The reputation points to lush, well-presented conditions and generously wide fairways that make the layout forgiving, though a run of longer par 4s keeps it engaging for golfers of all levels. Reviewers repeatedly single out the friendly, attentive staff and the welcoming atmosphere, both on the course and at the clubhouse. The dining and function facilities also earn warm praise, with the clubhouse views adding to the sense of a relaxed private retreat.
