About This Course

Ellerston Golf Course in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales represents one of Australia's finest private championship courses. Designed by Greg Norman and opened in 1998, Ellerston was crafted as a modern Australian links course despite its inland location on elevated terrain. The 18-hole championship course stretches to 6,800+ yards and features dramatic elevation changes typical of the region's undulating landscape. Built on premium pastoral land with native vegetation, Ellerston combines manicured conditioning with natural aesthetic beauty. The course has established itself as one of Australia's premier layouts, consistently ranking in the nation's top 10 courses. Ellerston's design philosophy embraces strategic bunkering and challenging green complexes that demand skill and course management. The course has hosted significant tournaments including the Australian Open and continues to attract golfers seeking an authentic, challenging championship experience. The combination of architectural excellence, stunning panoramic views, and world-class conditioning makes Ellerston one of golf's premier destinations. The course balances playability for members with championship difficulty when set up for tournaments.

Playing Tips

  • The course rises progressively through the back nine; manage energy and confidence accordingly
  • Elevation changes affect both distance and green reading; adjust expectations for club selection
  • The rough is thick and punishing; missed fairways can result in significant score impact
  • Study the green complexes carefully as many putts break more dramatically than they appear
