Glenmore Heritage Golf Club is a bit of a drive from Sydney, about an hour west, but worth it. The rolling hills make for a naturally beautiful course. Given it’s relative remoteness, getting tee times (even on weekends) is generally easy.
The course makes good use of the parcel of land it is on and actually has 27 holes. However, in my experience the new third 9 holes they put in are of considerable lower quality than the original 18. I would not recommend the third 9, but the original 18 are a must.
After the round, one of holes vividly sticks in my head; the par three, ninth hole. A medium length (160 yards / 146 meters) hole that requires a solidly struck shot to a smallish green that is guarded by overgrowth on the left, right, and behind the hold with the front guarded by a water hazard that stretches all the way back to the tee box area. Yes, 100% carry; else…better tee another one up. There is a drop zone, but unfortunately it too requires the next shot to be over the water hazard.
At the turn, I’d recommend getting a bite to eat at the outdoor BBQ as the back nine is a bit hillier to walk.
Overall, the course is manicured well with most holes presenting various ways to play them. The par fours are not overly long, but do present long hitters with an easier second shot if they can find the fairway.
