The Australian is one of Australia’s most exclusive golf clubs and is perhaps also one of the oldest golf club having been founded in the early 1880’s. The current layout, featuring moderated undulations and water hazards was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 1977, following an approach to the club by Mr Kerry Packer, who generously agreed to meet the costs of the work.
The Australian is a private member's course. Guests should be invited to play by a member of The Australian, unless they are from interstate or overseas, in which case they may be introduced by the General Manager.
Manager introduced guests should be affiliated with a recognised golf club or association, and hold a current membership identification card or letter of introduction from that organisation.
