Randwick Golf Course

Short, scenic seaside links above Long Bay, minutes from Sydney

Randwick Golf Course is an 18-hole public links-style course in Malabar, New South Wales, operated by Randwick Golf Club and established in 1960. It plays to a par of 62 over 3,356 metres, with 13 mapped bunkers, and sits overlooking Long Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Facilities include a driving range, pro shop, coaching, cart hire, parking, and a clubhouse with restaurant and dining. The course is open to the public, with temporary visitor sign-in available for non-members.

Players consistently single out the coastal setting, with the ocean and shoreline views regularly described as the highlight of a round here. The layout is a short, accessible one, and the general impression is that the club makes the most of a compact site rather than offering a long championship test. Its easy public access and no-fuss, just-turn-up feel make it a popular choice on sunny days, so expect it to be busy. Visitors often round things off at the clubhouse and restaurant, where the views over the bay tend to win as much praise as the food. Overall the reputation is of a relaxed, scenic, sociable place to play and unwind by the sea.
