Queanbeyan
Although located a mere 20-minute drive from Canberra city centre, the course at Queanbeyan Golf Club is actually located in New South Wales, just outside the boundary line of the Australian Capital Territory.
The course is laid out on the east bank of the Queanbeyan River, with the final three holes routed along the water’s edge. Holes 1-9 occupy the north part of the property, separated from the others by a small residential area.
Highlight holes include the short par four 5th, severely veering right to the green; the long par four 14th, rated the toughest hole on the back nine; and the 355-metre 18th, where anything left off the tee is wet before the fairway then swings right towards the home green.
New South Wales
Amateur golf in the state is administered by GolfNSW, a governing body formed in 2010 by the amalgamation of the NSW Golf Association and Women’s Golf NSW. Over 350 clubs are divided into three metropolitan zones around Sydney with 20 outlying districts for men and 13 districts for ladies. There are also two offshore clubs affiliated from Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island.
