Forster Tuncurry Golf Club (Tuncurry)

Forster Tuncurry Golf Club (Tuncurry) is widely regarded as a hidden gem on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. The 18-hole championship layout was designed by Kel Nagle and Mike Cooper and carved out of seaside bushland by club members. The course rewards accurate driving, with rolling couch fairways and relatively flat putting surfaces that favour players who find the short grass off the tee. Banksia and Tea Tree rough lines the holes, though volunteer work over the years has thinned it out to make the layout more playable for all skill levels. One practical advantage sets this course apart: its sand base drains exceptionally well, keeping conditions firm and playable through extended wet periods when nearby clubs may be closed for days at a time. The old clubhouse adds a layer of character that suits the natural charm of the surroundings.
