Wow, what a surprise packet!
Just north of the centre of this beautiful coastal town is a simply terrific golf course. In fact it was described recently by one golf scribe as the Augusta National of the far South Coast.
This John Spencer designed, par 71, 5,706 metre layout, winds back into majestic native forest. It boasts wide, well-grassed and sometimes undulating fairways, fast challenging greens (the ball will break - don't let your nerve), reasonably friendly sand traps and a number of water hazards.
While it's not the longest course in the area, there are plenty of doglegs which require precision hitting and careful course management. The overriding natural impression, however, is created by the many huge and magnificent trees and the prolific birdlife and other wildlife. This is well supported by the club's picturesque gardens, native wattles and waratahs.
There are lots of accommodation and golf packages available - contact the club for details.
Eden is a great place for a break - about mid-way between Sydney and Melbourne, great seafood and the natural beauty of Twofold Bay.
There are Mens and Ladies competitions on Wednesdays and Saturdays as well as 9 hole competitions on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Visitors are most welcome.
