Situated less than half an hour’s drive west of downtown Sydney, the course is bisected by a main highway (A3 Centenary Drive), with holes 10 to 17 accessed via an underpass beneath this busy arterial road.
Tom Howard laid out the original course, with Cooks River now coming into play several times on both the front and back nine holes, especially at #6, #8 and #13 when the creek crosses in front of the green.
Other highlights at Strathfield include the tough par four opener; back-to-back par threes (at #5 and #6); the left doglegging par five 15th; and the par four finisher with the creek to the left and four big bunkers surrounding the home green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
