Narooma Golf Club

About this course
Narooma Golf Club occupies a dramatic coastal headland on the far south coast of New South Wales, approximately halfway between Sydney and Melbourne. The course sits on a peninsula jutting into the Tasman Sea, with the layout threading between rocky outcrops, native vegetation, and elevated vantage points that overlook the ocean and nearby Montague Island. The routing takes full advantage of the natural topography, with several holes playing along clifftops and others descending toward sea level through coastal scrubland. The course features a distinctive mix of oceanfront and inland holes. The most memorable stretch runs along the eastern edge of the property, where golfers encounter direct ocean views and the constant presence of coastal winds. The par-three 3rd hole plays across a chasm to a green perched near the cliff edge, while the short par-four 13th offers strategic options from an elevated tee. The natural rock formations and native grasses frame many holes, giving the course a rugged, links-like character despite the Australian coastal setting. Narooma operates as a semi-private club that welcomes visitors, serving both members and traveling golfers exploring the Sapphire Coast region. The course has developed a reputation among Australian golfers for its scenic qualities and natural routing, often appearing in discussions of the country's most visually striking coastal layouts. The clubhouse provides straightforward amenities and views back across the course toward the ocean, maintaining the unpretentious character typical of regional Australian golf clubs.

Getting there
The journey to Narooma Golf Club begins at either Canberra Airport (CBR), roughly two and a half hours northwest through the Snowy Mountains foothills, or Sydney's Kingsford Smith (SYD), a more leisurely four-hour coastal drive south along the Princes Highway. The route from Canberra descends through eucalyptus-clad ranges before meeting the Sapphire Coast, while the Sydney approach traces the Pacific edge through fishing villages and dairy country. As you enter Narooma proper, the road narrows and the scent of salt air sharpens - the club sits perched on a dramatic headland where the Wagonga Inlet meets the Tasman Sea, its fairways draped across rocky promontories in full view of Montague Island's distant silhouette.
