The Lakes Golf Club

The Lakes Golf Club is one of Australia's leading private clubs and a popular round among Hole19 golfers in New South Wales. Located in Eastlakes, this 18-hole layout sits entirely on the Sydney Sandbelt, making it one of the region's most reliable wet-weather courses. The course is best known for hosting the Australian Open in three consecutive years — 2010, 2011, and 2012 — earning international recognition for its presentation standards. The layout features four par 5s, including the well-known water carry on the 14th hole, offering a genuine challenge at every level. The back nine runs alongside the Botany Aquifer and wetlands, bringing wildlife, scenic views, and a varied set of shot-making demands into play. Playing surfaces are consistently well maintained, and the overall layout is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive golfing experiences in Australia.
