St Michael's Golf ClubDetails and review of St. Michael's Golf Club. Located just south of Sydney and lying on an ocean front, St. Michael's Golf Club is without doubt a spactacular, well maintained golf course. It is however expensive and probably not as good value for money as other courses we have played. We found the course to be challenging, with narrow fairways, slick greens, and each holes being challenging and different from the last. |

Just south of Sydney St. Michael's Golf Club claims to be the "Jewel of the Pacific Coast" and rightly so being ranked 54th in the top 100 Australian courses. The course is magnificient, the layout is challenging, and the greens are large and fast. The fairways are narrow and are bounded by trees and shrubs rather than rough making accurate driving a must. It must be noted that the course has a couple of holes on the back and front 9 where the fairways are unlined by any vegetation, these holes tend to be the ones closest to the oceans edge. As a result though these holes have a magnificent view tend to be less spactacular. We also found a few of the holes could have been a bit more well bunkered, however those holes that are bunkered have the bunkers gaurding the green extremely well. There is no doubt in our mind that this course is better than The Coast (one of its closer rivals), however it is really up to the individual whether the increase in green fees is worth it. In our opinion it depends what you're looking for. If you want challenging ocean gaurded holes then you'll probably want to play the Coast, but if you want a gorgeous golf course with ocean views (not neccessarily the ocean coming into play as a hazard) then you'll choose St. Michael's. Other things to note at St. Michael's Golf Club was we found the course to be in great condition, well sign posted, and the staff we were all very friendly. We enjoyed playing this course as it offers a lot of variety, was very challenging, and was very well maintained. We rate it as one of the better courses in the Sydney region.
