Pennant Hills Golf Club

Australia, NSW, Sydney
5.2 (36)
Designer: Various
Course Opened: 1924

Pennant Hills Golf Club has a rich and varied history. It was first formed in 1923 on its present site and is one of the oldest golf clubs in Sydney to share the honour of such longevity. Its strength and durability can be attributed to the direct ownership of the land, the excellent management of the club, the careful maintenance of the course and the strong bonds of friendship and camaraderie among its members. It is considered that becoming a member of Pennant Hills Golf Club is a significant honour in itself.

The club has produced some outstanding players who have achieved national and international success. Tony Gresham, one of the finest Australian amateur golfers to have played the game and Peter Fowler, a successful contender on the professional circuit, are but two.

To walk the tree-lined fairways and play this beautifully presented eighteen hole course is a memorable experience for member and visitor alike.

Added to this, the unique vista from the clubhouse and the quality of the service provided, make Pennant Hills a highly sought after venue for corporate days, weddings and a wide range of social functions.

Course Design

Pennant Hills is perhaps unique in that no course architect can claim to have been the designer. In the years between 1923 and 1934 the course developed slowly and when the current sixth hole was added in 1934 the concept was complete. Apart from lengthening and adding bunkers, no dramatic changes have been made in the last seventy years. In 1934 the course was 6261 yards long while today it is 6475 yards (5921 metres), an increase of just 214 yards.

The course is not long by modern standards but par is well defended by trees, bunkering and variable lies created by its hilly terrain. At no time in its history has the course record been lowered below 63; against par 71.
