Highlands Golf Club sits in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, approximately 120 kilometers southwest of Sydney near the town of Mittagong. The course occupies elevated terrain characteristic of this cool-climate region, where rolling topography and established tree plantings create a parkland setting distinct from the coastal courses that dominate much of Australian golf. The area's higher elevation and temperate conditions have long made it a retreat from Sydney's summer heat. The layout reflects traditional Australian parkland design principles, with tree-lined fairways and greens that require accurate approach play. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours of the land, incorporating elevation changes that add variety to club selection and shot-making demands. Mature vegetation frames many holes, and the property's setting provides views across the surrounding highlands countryside. The club serves as a regional facility for the Southern Highlands community, maintaining a membership base drawn from both local residents and Sydney golfers who appreciate the area's accessibility and climate. The course hosts regular club competitions and regional amateur events typical of established country clubs in New South Wales. Mittagong's position along the Hume Highway has historically made the Southern Highlands a convenient stopping point between Sydney and Melbourne, contributing to the area's development as a golfing destination within the state.
