Nelson Bay And Port Stephens Region Golf Course

The course is meticulously maintained, boasting Santa Ana Couch fairways and Bentgrass greens, ensuring a premium playing surface year-round. Pacific Dunes has garnered acclaim, ranking among Australia's top 100 golf courses, and is recognized as one of New South Wales' finest public-access courses.

Beyond the fairways, the club offers comprehensive facilities, including a driving range, practice greens, and a fully equipped pro shop. After a round, golfers can unwind at The Greenhouse, an award-winning restaurant and bar that provides a relaxed dining experience with views over the course.

Horizons Golf Resort has hosted prestigious tournaments, including the NSW Men's Open and the European Tour co-sanctioned 2004 ANZ Championship . The resort is open to members, guests, and visitors seven days a week, offering a welcoming atmosphere for all golfers

Notable holes include the 5th, 6th, and 7th, often cited among Australia's finest. The 5th hole, a 368-meter par-4, is renowned for its challenging dogleg left and well-guarded green. The 6th hole, a 367-meter par-4, demands precision with its uphill approach to an elevated green. The 7th, a picturesque par-3, requires an accurate tee shot to a green protected by deep bunkers.

Beyond the course, Newcastle Golf Club offers excellent facilities, including a full-length practice fairway, chipping and putting greens, a fully serviced pro shop, and clubhouse amenities. Ranked among Australia's top golf courses, it provides a memorable experience for both members and visiting golfers.

Wildlife is part of the action: kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and native birds share the terrain and may appear along your walk.  One particularly famous hole is the 535m Par‑5 22nd, known for its demanding length and tight lines.  The 13th is another standout — a classic downhill tee shot sweeping around forest to a green guarded by bunkers.

The greens are well‑maintained and subtly contoured — accurate approaches and good pace reading pay dividends. After your round, the clubhouse offers panoramic views, modern dining, and a warm atmosphere where you can relax, share stories of your round, and plan your next tee time.
