The Australian Golf Club is nice and has a lot of history; however, the course itself is a bit of a let down. I contribute this to being told by numerous of my golf mates that The Australian is the best course in Sydney. Yes, it is a nice course, but I wouldn't say it is the best. Many of the holes are straightforward, and the green complexes are relatively unchallenging, aka flat.
I will take my hat off to the staff at The Australian. The staff go out of their way to ensure that you are having a good time and to make sure that all of your needs are met.
This post about the course is a bit negative, but I don't want people to get the impression that it is a bad course. It is a topnotch course, it is just that I wouldn't call it the best.
One final note on the course, The Australian sends off the competition groups with 3 golfers in each group. I found this absolutely wonderful as we finished our Saturday mid-morning round in less than 4 hours. I wouldn't have thought it would have made much of a difference going from 4 golfers down to 3 in a group, but it did. I would highly recommend that other golf clubs do the same thing. I'm a very fast golfer and when rounds start creeping past 4 hours, it is frustrating.
