4 Star Review by The Hummel
Lovely place to go for a lunch or dinner with some friends or family. The pork belly is fantastic. Service is good. Loads of space and a great view during the day.
5 Star Review by Paul
I've been visiting Port Stephens for almost 40 years now and ever since I started playing golf I've loved this course. The 27 hole golf course is excellent and the club house offers amazing views over the course with excellent food.
3 Star Review by Elizabeth Harding
Receptionist and girls taking bistro orders were lovely. The bar attendant was very unfriendly and it seemed like we were an inconvenience when we asked a question. The food very average. The bistro was meant to be open until 8pm. We arrived At 7.20 and were told they were closing early so could we hurry our order or basically we would miss out. I wouldn't go back as a visitor.

My 1st time paying golf here. Was great I loved it. So cool seeing the kangaroos lying around the course. The clubhouse is really nice too.
5 Star Review by Andrew Hubbard
Beautiful club in a spectacular setting. We had a wonderful afternoon event here for a 70th birthday. The staff and management are so amazing, everything was just so easy. The catering was perfect, the food was delicious, everyone was impressed. The locals said that they will be back.
