Macquarie Links at Macquarie Links International Golf Club

Macquarie Links International Golf Club occupies land in the southwestern suburbs of Sydney, approximately 30 kilometers from the city center in the Campbelltown area. American architect Robin Nelson designed the course, which opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential development. Nelson, based in Hawaii, brought his experience with resort and residential courses to this project, creating a layout that serves both members and visitors in Sydney's expanding outer metropolitan region.

The course sits on relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Cumberland Plain, with Nelson incorporating water features, bunkers, and mounding to define holes and create strategic interest. The design follows a parkland style with tree-lined fairways and lakes coming into play on several holes. The routing allows for a mix of risk-reward opportunities, particularly on holes where water hazards border greens or require carries from the tee.

Macquarie Links operates as a semi-private facility, offering membership while also accommodating public play, which reflects the broader accessibility model common among courses in Sydney's outer suburbs. The club provides practice facilities and hosts local amateur competitions. The course serves golfers in the rapidly growing southwestern Sydney corridor, an area that has seen significant residential development over the past two decades. Its location near major road networks makes it accessible to players from across the greater Sydney region seeking a full-length championship layout outside the more established eastern and northern suburbs golf precincts.
