About the course
Historic Thomson Perrett layout just blocks from Manly Beach
Manly Golf Club is a private course in Manly Vale, New South Wales, Australia, established in 1903 and located just blocks from Manly Beach. It plays to a par of 67 over 5,958 metres, with a redevelopment completed in 2012 by designers Thomson Perrett and 58 mapped bunkers across the layout. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, coaching, a restaurant/dining venue and parking. The club has hosted championship golf, including rounds by Jack Nicklaus in the 1971 NSW Open and Greg Norman in 1978.
Players consistently describe Manly as a hidden gem with attractive coastal scenery and a layout that is challenging yet enjoyable. Reviewers frequently single out the firm, well-presented greens and the relatively short holes, which reward precision over power, and the course's manicured condition draws regular praise. The clubhouse earns a strong reputation too, with visitors highlighting friendly, attentive staff, generous dining and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The pro shop and function spaces are also well regarded, rounding out the impression of a polished members' club where service is a recurring talking point.
