Marrickville Golf Club

Friendly Inner West parkland par 60 by the Cooks River

Marrickville Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-60 parkland course in Earlwood, New South Wales, established in 1941 and run on a daily-fee basis. The layout features 14 mapped bunkers and sits within the Inner West of Sydney. Facilities include a putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, coaching, parking, plus cart and club hire.

Set along the Cooks River close to Sydney's CBD, this compact par-60 course has a reputation as an accessible, community-minded spot welcoming to all levels. Players regularly note that, despite its modest length, it offers a genuine test, with several holes calling for accurate tee shots through narrow chutes or over steep, rising fairways. Reviewers often remark that conditioning can vary after wet weather, but many single out the greens as a highlight that holds up well for a public course. The relaxed clubhouse and on-site dining draw consistent praise too, with the bistro overlooking the course and a friendly, family-friendly atmosphere frequently mentioned. Overall, the impression is of an inexpensive, easygoing club that punches above its size for both golf and social appeal.
