Play The Vintage Golf Course (Designed by Greg Norman)

Ranked among Australia’s top 100 golf courses, The Vintage Golf Club stands as the nation’s premier championship resort golf destination. This elite 18-hole track was meticulously crafted by legendary designer Greg Norman to deliver an unmatched luxury golf vacation experience.

The course masterfully blends pristine fairways, signature bold bunkering, and undulating greens with the Hunter Valley’s natural wetlands and surrounding environments. Perfectly positioned for unforgettable winery getaways, the property borders world-famous vineyards, making it a spectacular backdrop for your next weekend escape.

Golf enthusiasts can book a premium golf trip that effortlessly combines challenging world-class rounds with boutique wine tours and exquisite vineyard dining. Beyond the immaculate greens, players enjoy access to a fully serviced driving range, elite golf instruction, and a premium pro shop.

Play Cypress Lakes Golf & Country Club (Designed by Steve Smyers)

Test your skills at Cypress Lakes Golf & Country Club, a premier 18-hole championship resort course located in Pokolbin, the epicenter of the Hunter Valley wine district. Unveiled in 1992 and designed by renowned American architect Steve Smyers, this highly regarded par-72 venue spans 6,467 meters from the black championship tees. With multiple tee placements, it offers an incredible experience for golfers of all skill levels.

The layout delivers uninterrupted, panoramic views of the famous Brokenback mountain range and neighboring boutique wineries. The design provides a thrilling contrast across its routing:

  • The Front Nine: Features rolling fairways carved into hills and valleys overlooking local vineyards.
  • The Back Nine: Transitions into heavily tree-lined, undulating terrain across steeper elevations.

Featuring 60 strategically placed bunkers, generous bentgrass greens, and a challenging slope rating of 150 off the back markers, Cypress Lakes is celebrated as one of the toughest and most rewarding tests of golf in Australia. Highlighting its unique layout, players must tee off directly over a working vineyard on one of the signature holes.
