Ballina Golf and Sports Club Club, East Ballina NSW

Best course in the northern rivers. If only my short game complimented the beauty of this place...

Overall a decent course, definitely one of the better courses in the area. The course is presented nicely with a big clubhouse. The staff in the pro shop were good; however, it would be handy if the club provided a map. The golf carts were pretty old and beaten. The course was easy to navigate with good signage and easy-to-follow pathways.

We played on the front 9. It is a good course for most skill levels. There is an element of challenge but there is nothing too difficult. It did feel the fairways were narrow which makes driving hard, especially for beginners. Grass on fairways and rough could do with a bit more mowing as balls were hard to find. There is a good amount of bunkers and water hazards, making some parts a challenge but there is plenty of margin for error. The greens are well maintained and didn't have any noticeable issues. All the holes are well-presented but I particularly liked holes 4 and 5. There seems to be a bit of work going on around the clubhouse which is a good sign for the future. There is also a simulator and driving range but I didn't get the chance to try them. The 9 holes might be considered a bit pricey but the price is overall justified.

If you are looking for a good golf experience in the Northern Rivers then this is a course to try. It is great for all levels and I would recommend this course if you are just starting.

Went to Asian green was beautiful didn't like the fried rice much but the dishes was gorgeous

Nice staff, love the greens but fairway grass is too long, makes it hard to find golf balls.

What a great golf club with a real community feel. Great staff and a friendly environment.
