The New South Wales Golf Club is a links-style golf course designed by Alister MacKenzie in December 1926.^[1] It consists of 18 holes, two of which are beside the Tasman Sea and Botany Bay. The course is situated in La Perouse, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney, and regularly rates in the top 50 golf courses in the world.^[1]

MacKenzie, on designing the course, stated:^[2]

"At Sydney, I made an entirely new course for the New South Wales Golf Club at a place called La Perouse. This presents, I think, more spectacular views than any place I know with the possible exception of the new Cypress Point golf course in California."
— Alister MacKenzie, May 1927

A unique feature of the course design is that it has four par-five holes and four par-three holes and each of these is oriented north, south, east and west.

It has hosted numerous professional tournaments, including the 2009 Australian Open; won by Adam Scott.
