Ranked the Number 2 course in Sydney and is also high up on the Australian Top 100 list. The Lakes GC has hosted many professional championships over the year's including the remarkable 2012 Australian Open won by veteran Peter Senior.

The course was redesigned by - Michael Clayton and his team in 2009 and holes now place a far greater premium on placement and strategy than they did previously.

The famous water carry on the 14th hole provides a challenging test for every golfer not just for during tournament play.

The final 9 holes borders a wetland area with a ray of wild life and scenic views 360 degrees, and of course a wide range of tempting shots !! It's a great stretch of holes to close of the round.

I must say my expectations were more than met when I played, and a tremendous experience was had both on course and through what is provided to guests. Ensure you play the Lakes Sydney at least once in your life time!

P. S the spa in the men's locker room is a delightful ending to any round.
