Wagga Wagga Country Club Course Vlog

Описание: Wagga Wagga Country Club is one of the best country golf courses in NSW. The club is located on the shores of Lake Albert and included in Australia’s top 100 country courses.

It is just under a five hours’ drive from both Sydney and Melbourne, and about three hours from Canberra. You can also catch the train direct from Sydney and the journey takes six hours, or fly into Wagga Wagga Airport then hire a car.

The beautiful tree-lined course has immaculate bent greens and all-weather fairways. The blind tee shots are unique and the greens are fairly quick. The par 4 first hole is the most demanding driving hole on the course with a dogleg to the left. The course’s signature 11th hole is a good reminder that a strong, challenging hole does not need to be overly long. The view from the green across the 17th green, 18th fairway and to the lakes is one of the best on the Wagga Wagga Country Club course.

The perfectly manicured fairways and superb clubhouse make a picturesque venue of choice for weddings and functions.

On July 5, 1928 the Wagga Wagga Country Golf Club (the original name) was established at a meeting in Gurwood Street, Wagga Wagga.. Mr J.C. Sheekey chaired the meeting. Mr J.N. Nathan moved and Mr G.M. Cox seconded a motion that: “A golf club be formed for the purpose of promoting golf and other sports”.

It was the attractive location of the western side of Lake Albert that drew a number of people from the existing membership and other prominent people in the community to form a syndicate and purchase the land to form the new golf club. In total, there were eighty-one original debenture holders who provided and guaranteed funds to enable the new club to be established.

During the following two years a great deal of work was carried out to design and construct the golf course and build the clubhouse which was converted from a residential cottage. A professional golfer from Sydney, Mr Dan Soutar, was engaged to design the course with Mr J. C. Sheekey.

The Wagga Wagga Country Club is the most iconic attraction for the avid seasonal and social golfers. The 18-hole championship course is worth a definite visit, regardless what time of year it is. Experience the Riverina’s leading and most rewarding golf course.
