The Lakes Golf Club

Just 15 minutes from Sydney’s city centre in New South Wales, The Lakes Golf Club is one of Australia’s most prestigious private golf clubs and a celebrated championship venue.

Nestled beside the tranquil Botany Aquifer and Wetlands, the course is surrounded by native flora, birdlife, and glistening waterways, creating a serene and unforgettable setting for every round.

Established in 1928, The Lakes has been shaped by the design expertise of Bruce Devlin, Robert von Hagge, and later Michael Clayton. Its modern links-style layout sits atop ancient sandhills, with a sandy base that offers excellent drainage – a rare luxury in championship golf. With lush kikuyu fairways and meticulously maintained bentgrass greens, the course is both visually striking and technically demanding year-round.

Signature holes like the par-5 14th test players with bold water carries and multi-tiered greens, while the ever-present coastal breeze adds a thrilling element of unpredictability. A proud host of numerous major tournaments, including the Australian Open, The Lakes continues to attract top-tier talent from around the world.

Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply taking in the serenity, The Lakes Golf Club offers a world-class golfing experience in the heart of Sydney.
