You may struggle to keep an eye on the ball at the NSW Golf Club – it has some of the most magnificent ocean views of any of the A-class golf courses in Sydney. Though it can cop a buffeting from the wind, this course is rated as one of the top 50 short courses in the world – Golf Digest ranks it fairly highly outside the UK and U.S.A. It’s a private club, though non-members can make booking on weekdays, but you need to get in early – it fills up quickly.
