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. | | |
| Hole 1 - Par 5, 453 Metres |

Over the hill and up to a green on top of the rise - testing green. |
|
| Hole 3 - Par 5, 476 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Reachable in two but placement required to avoid greenside traps. |
|
| Hole 5 - Par 3, 198 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Very small green. Make or break championship hole. |
|
| Hole 7 - Par 3, 138 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Steep slope off the right side - requires good tee shot. |
|
| Hole 8 - Par 4, 335 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Requires straight drive to allow for sloping fairway or a lay-up from the tee. Sloping green heavily bunkered on the bottom side - gives up some birdies. |
|
| Hole 9 - Par 5, 506 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Wide, flat fairway with two dips in the championship areas. Plays the whole distance. |
|
| Hole 10 - Par 5, 482 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Plenty of fairway. Reachable but 2nd shot must be spot on. |
|
| Hole 11 - Par 4, 355 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Small green, bunkered on each side. A lay-up second shot is required for longer markers. |
|
| Hole 13 - Par 4, 316 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Birdie chance, well designed hole across the creek. |
|
| Hole 14 - Par 4, 390 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Excellent championship hole featuring slight left to right and small heavily sloped left trapped green - par is a good score. |
|
| Hole 15 - Par 3, 184 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
One of the district's best holes. One trap left and steep slope to right makes par a "meaningful figure". |
|
| Hole 16 - Par 4, 336 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Dogleg left to right. Blind tee shot. Attractive hole. |
|
| Hole 17 - Par 4, 407 Metres |
(click to enlarge) |
Wide fairway, small green. Good drive required. |
|
| Hole 18 - Par 4, 318 Metres |

Adjacent to the clubhouse. Short uphill to the green. |
