"Australia has, in my opinion, the
best golf in the world outside of the
USA.”—P.K. (Edina, MN)
KINGSTON
HEATH GOLF CLUB: Par 72, 6,813
yards “The Heath” was designed by
Dr. Alister Mackenzie and is ranked
#20 in the world by GOLF Magazine.
Sometimes called the top Australian
course, this championship layout has
hosted many international
competitions including the
Australian Open on many occasions.
The first hole sets the tune for the
course with a par 4 (460 yards)
opening that plays to the top of a
hill with many bunkers awaiting the
ball -WWG Grade: A+
ROYAL MELBOURNE GC: Par 72,
6,875 yards Although the club
started at another location in 1891,
and Queen Victoria granted the
“Royal” title in 1895, the East and
West Courses officially opened in
1901 but were later redesigned
(1926) by Dr. Alister Mackenzie
(West Course) and Alex Russell (East
Course), who was an assistant to Dr.
Mackenzie. The Composite Course is
rated as Australia's foremost layout
and encompasses holes from both East
(6) and West (12) courses, and is
ranked #10 in the world. Host to
many Australian Opens (won by
Player, Watson and Norman), and
other tournaments such as the 1998
Presidents Cup won by the
International squad. WWG Grade: A+
NEW SOUTH WALES GOLF CLUB:
Par 72, 6810 yards Situated on the
panoramic south coast of Sydney,
this windswept links style course
was designed by Dr. Alister
Mackenzie in 1928. This is the
course where Greg Norman and
President Clinton played together in
1998, and is ranked #34 in the world
by GOLF Magazine. The wind is almost
always a major factor. It has a
certain links feel to it and the 6th
is an unusual island tee on a rock
spit out in the ocean. Look for the
shipwreck on the rocks, and remember
to bring your camera. There is a
beautiful new clubhouse and pro shop
with plenty of courteous members
around willing to talk over a pint
of lager (Steve Elkington and Norman
are members). WWG Grade: A
