THE SOUTH COAST GOLF TRAIL IS OPEN FOR BUSINESSDespite the devastating impact of the recent South Coast Bushfire Crisis to many towns and villages in New South Wales, the recently launched #SouthCoastGolfTrail and its three highly-celebrated golf courses remain untouched.

In fact, Golf South Coast is now preparing for an increase in visitors and bookings to play, stay and experience its stunning trail following a highly-publicised and warmly-welcomed invitation for tourists to return.

Club Catalina General Manager Guy Chapman said the support from all Australians, especially the golfing community and industry has been overwhelming.

“We are simply in awe of the number of people asking us what they can do to help, and the short answer is to simply come back or book a holiday, stay in our towns, dine in our

restaurants and of course play the #SouthCoastGolfTrail,” Chapman says.

Narooma Golf Club’s General Manager Dominic Connaughton added to the call for tourists to return to help small businesses who continue to count their losses.

“This extraordinary and heartbreaking event is a serious blow to many businesses and by extension all families in the area. Australia is a nation of mateship, and right now we are in need of this camaraderie and support, more than ever because our communities simply will not survive without the support of our fellow Australians,” he said.

THE GRANGE GOLF CLUBCHANGES to the highly-rated layout at The

Grange Golf Club, just an hour from Sydney’s southern suburbs, have made it even more attractive for social clubs – and social golfers.

Thanks to a perfect partnership with the world’s largest golf management company, Troon Golf, the club has been able to forge ahead with some significant course changes.

That included a complete re-design and construction of all The Grange’s bunkers, which had led to improved course conditions throughout the year.

Those improvements to the bunkers go hand-in-hand with an ongoing commitment made by The Grange Golf Club owners, Dapto Leagues Club, to improve facilities at the Illawarra region’s high-profile course.

While all social groups are made welcome, there are some lucrative packages for social players with special offers for groups of 12 players or more that include special prizes, as well as packages that can include food and beverage with your round of golf.

It must be working: social group numbers have steadily grown over the past two years, which is testament to the ease of access and great offering at The Grange.

With a fleet of 30 golf carts, mark down The Grange as a certain stop for any social or corporate group looking to play less than from Sydney’s south.

The Grange Golf Club

their 9-hole Beachside Course which sits atop the southern tip of the beautiful Mollymook Beach. The 18- hole Hilltop course - affectionately known as ‘The Ultimate Challenge’ – is a golfer’s dream, nestled in a bushland oasis with meandering tree-lined fairways and undulating greens.

Further south, Club Catalina boasts a pristine 27-hole course, guarded with tall established trees and contoured by water. The holes start with much expectation, so accuracy off the tee is vital. But beware - the local kangaroos provide an added obstacle throughout the game before ending with a final challenge!

Finally, the Narooma Golf Club wraps us this unique golfing experience with its renowned 3rd hole, named ‘Hogan Hole’ after Aussie actor Paul Hogan’s infamous TV commercial. This course is recognised as one of Australia’s top 100 golf courses and features 6 holes perched on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean – an exhilarating challenge for serious golfers and a pleasure for the not so serious.

PGA Professional and Mollymook Golf Manager Barry West said the creation of the #SouthCoastGolfTrail delivers some of the best golf and courses in Australia, while attracting large corporate and PGA Professional events.

To experience first-class golf courses and to support the recovery of the south coast of NSW, now is the time to book your #SouthCoastGolfTrail. Golf Packages include the three courses, accommodation, restaurant bookings and more. Customised packages are also available.

All three locations are open to visitors year-round, within easy drive to each other and are between 2 to 3.5 hours from Sydney and Canberra. Experience the #SouthCoastGolfTrail in 2020.

Certainly The Grange has been putting itself on the golfing map as a ‘must play’ course for golfers from all over the state who may be contemplating a golfing expedition south of Sydney.

Thanks to the professionalism and guidance of the team from Troon, The Grange continues to go from strength to strength.

The Leagues Club has also invested in the future by purchasing new equipment for use on the golf course that should see the club continue to develop its course condition as well as its’ reputation.

Social clubs are forever looking for new challenges and The Grange now throws its doors - and its course- open to social golfers and is taking things a step further by offering packages that are proving popular for social clubs from right across the Sydney basin.

MORUYA GOLF CLUBWIDELY regarded as one of the South Coast’s ‘golfing gems’, Moruya Golf Club is proud of the fact it is recognised for a lot more than just fine golf.

Indeed, when ravenous golfers finish their round, one of the most popular places to head for is Moruya’s highly-rated Double Green restaurant.

Boasting modern Australian cuisine, Double Green draws its patrons from up and down the South Coast of NSW, who have heard they boast the finest food in the region.

Don’t for a moment think that golf takes a back seat though as Moruya is an easy-walking par-71 championship course which has an enthusiastic membership and welcomes visiting golfers to a layout rated as one of the best on the South Coast … all year round.

And after surviving bush fires and housing many caravans and tents during the recent bushfire horrors, Moruya is looking to reclaim its mantle as one of the greenest courses on the South Coast as well.

One of Moruya’s outstanding features is the very reason the restaurant overlooking the course is named Double Green.

That’s because the double green on the ninth and 18th holes is one of the course’s memorable features and is one of the largest greens in Australia.

Carts are available for hire as well as a well-stocked golf pro shop which opens seven days a week.

And besides the full club facilities available in the clubhouse, there are many other features including their fully-equipped bar, TAB, Keno and three large function rooms which are equipped to host everything from a wedding to a wake.

Certainly, Moruya Golf Club represents great value for money and is a must play when visiting the South Coast.

BERMAGUI COUNTRY CLUB SITUATED in the heart of Bermagui, and featuring fabulous views of the seaside town of Bermagui, Horseshoe Bay and Mount Dromedary, the 18-hole championship golf course at Bermagui Country Club is truly a beauty.

Their fairways are lush and most are lined by a variety of beautiful native trees. But it’s also a solid challenge, with long par 4s (plenty in the 370-400 metre range) with sloping fairways and a number of blind shots to the excellent greens. There are also a number of dogleg holes to add to the challenge.

Water also features prominently on a number of holes, including the 164m 15th, where the fairway is a lake. The 6,085m, par-72 course is a serious walk with plenty of hills. That said, you will really enjoy this high-quality challenging course, the beautiful views and abundant bird life.

Once you play its pristine fairways and smooth, true greens, you’ll wonder why you may not have heard of Bermagui before. Hosting the Seniors PGA Pro-AM regularly has attracted a calibre of players, including Peter Senior, Rodger Davis, Mike Harwood and Victorian Lucien Tinkler who is the current titleholder. The course is maintained in tournament condition all year round.

The Clubhouse and facilities at Bermagui feature all the amenities you need, including a restaurant open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, kids room in the restaurant, sports bar, a spacious bbq area and built-in bar, pool tables and dart boards, courtesy bus, EFTPOS/ATM, Golf stay and play packages available and more.

For groups of four or more, Big Mike’s Breakfast is provided outdoors in the BBQ area adjacent to the swimming pool area.

The lake and village views are spectacular, as the sun rises in the East and Mike personally cooks up a storm on the BBQs; bacon, eggs, sausages, fried tomatoes, toast, tea or coffee and plenty of choice on the cereal table, with a little fruit thrown in are all inclusive in Big Mike’s Breakfast.

Being a single-figure golfer for 40 years, Mike knows what the avid golfer wants; local knowledge, the weather forecast, the latest copy of inside Golf on the coffee table, complimentary cold beers in the fridge greets you on arrival, with ample parking and 15 units available.

But don’t just take our word for it. Check out these reviews from a pair of recent guests:

“Myself and four mates came down for a golf weekend and it was superb. The owner Mike greeted us after our first round of golf at Bega, thoughtfully putting some beers into the fridge (complimentary). Rooms great, views brilliant. Service magnificent. We had a great cooked breakfast and it was quiet. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.”

And...

“Went to Pacific Heights with friends for a golfing weekend from Canberra. Very easy to get to, only 2.5 hours from Canberra. Excellent accommodation - roomy and very well set up, great hospitality from Mike (including excellent breakfasts by the pool), and Mike did a super job of organising our golf at 3 local courses. Highly recommended.“

“We have returned to Pacific Heights for three years and each year it just gets better” says one guest. “Mike does a wonderful job looking after us; always a welcome beer in the fridge and fantastic breakfasts and great views from the well appointed units. Mike is never too busy to accommodate with a lift to the club when their courtesy bus doesn’t run. His local knowledge is very good and helpful with restaurants, oysters and seafood. If you’re lucky you might get a taste of his sensational Sashimi.”

Big Mike’s Breakfast is a popular inclusion for groups at Pacific Heights Holiday Apartments
