Lakeside Golf Club Camden
This is a links course ever though it is located inland on the outskirt of Sydney. It features moderately undulating fairways and numerous bunkers. The course will make you often hit from uneven lies and around 60 bunkers in total make it a very challenging experience. | |||

A straight hole reachable in 2 for long hitters. The fairway slopes from right to left. The seconds shot is downhill. The green is elevated and built in an elliptical shape across a shallow swale. It faces you at an oblique angle requiring a high and accurate approach as it isn’t deep. |

A straight, long par 4. Water hazards on both sides come into play off the tee. A creek crosses in front of the green which is elevated and protected by 3 bunkers. |

A dogleg to the left, a demanding hole. You need distance off the tee but the longer your drive is, the narrower the landing area becomes. There is also a big lake on the left of the fairway, so be careful not to hook the ball. The green is slightly elevated. |
