There is something special about playing golf on the water’s edge, alongside beach sand and at the mercy of mother nature.
It is where the game’s origins lie in Scotland, on the grass covered sandy linksland that gave the natural undulations and interesting terrain to the likes of The Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry and North Berwick.
In Australia, the use of land barely removed from the tides and waves has produced modern gems like the three courses on the Barnbougle property, as well as King Island’s Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes.
Although the greater Sydney area is often derided for its quality of courses in competition with the famed Melbourne Sandbelt, one thing the harbour city does have in its favour is oceanside golf. And much of it is open for all to play.
