The Albury Golf Club is situated in the centre of Albury and boasts a superbly presented course which features a set of consistently wonderful greens regarded as the best in country NSW and is at least the equal of the majority of metropolitan clubs in Melbourne or Sydney. The course presents a real challenge to championship golfers with its tree lined fairways and well placed bunkers, whilst allowing sufficient leeway for all standards to enjoy the layout. The cut fairways are more generous than some championship layouts. This is an excellent summer course with the tree lined fairways giving the area soft shady atmosphere.

Well established course featuring magnificent grass greens and 24 bunkers throughout. The front nine is gently undulating and played through tall timbers, complete with water crossings and a creek meandering around. An excellent test for golfers is the 4th hole “Gallipoli”, notorious for the massive bunker located at the foot of the green. The back nine is lined with Golden Wattle, Pine and Gum trees. Nigel Douglas formerly of Ross C. Watson has completed a masterplan of the Golf course, construction of four new holes will commence in August 2002. Neat dress code.
