Australian Open Presented by Century 21

Location:

The Lakes Golf Club, established in 1928, is one of Sydney's most prestigious private golf clubs.

The Lakes has long been a major tournament venue having hosted many events including the Australian Open, Australian PGA, Ampol Tournament, Chrysler Classic, Wills Masters, Johnnie Walker Classic, Greg Norman Holden International and the ANZ Championship. The course continues to maintain its reputation as a great challenge to any golfer.

The golf course is renowned for its presentation and is generally regarded as one of the best wet weather courses in the region. The final nine holes bordering the Botany Aquifer and wetlands area, with an abundance of wild life, scenic views and a range of tempting golf shots, makes a round of golf at The Lakes a memorable experience.

The Lakes is located near Sydney Airport and is only 15 minutes from the Sydney CBD. The modern clubhouse, opened in November 2005, is a first-class venue for functions, meetings or seminars. With picturesque views of the golf course, our function rooms create the perfect atmosphere for wedding receptions, cocktail parties or corporate events.
