Completed in March 2025, Royal Sydney’s new Bay Course is the finest example of modern golf course design in Australia.
Created by Course Architect Gil Hanse and supported by Landscape Architect Harley Kruse, the new design has reimagined and revolutionised Royal Sydney’s 18-hole championship golf course, and has created a ‘two loops of nine’ routing pattern and implemented ribbon-style tee boxes. The course also boasts modern methodologies in bunker design and green construction.
The Royal Sydney Golf Club is the largest area of managed landscape in the Woollahra municipality. It is also home to a renowned Championship Golf Course. Neither the landscape, nor the golf course, can presently be managed and presented in the most optimal way – whether for the environment or for the game of golf. The challenges to optimally address both are interconnected, not least being considerations around long-term sustainability.
