About Barnwell Park Golf Club

Barnwell Park Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-61 community golf course at Five Dock on Sydney's Canada Bay. The land began as mangrove swamp and a council tip before reclamation work and the naming of Barnwell Park in 1942. Drummoyne Council constructed the first nine holes in the early 1960s, and the golf course officially opened on 13 March 1965.

The second nine opened in 1974, creating the present 18-hole layout. The Members scorecard measures about 3,422 metres, or roughly 3,742 yards, and contains a high proportion of par-three holes. Social golf is available seven days a week, while club competitions run throughout the week.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 61, 3,422m (3,742 yards). The course originally opened in 1965. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Putting Green, Driving Range, Golf Lessons, Golf Cart Hire, Club Hire, Restaurant, Disc Golf, and 1 more.

Did You Know?
The golf course site had previously been mangrove swamp and a council rubbish tip.

Development

The social golf club grew rapidly after the first nine opened and incorporated in September 1968. Members raised funds through debentures and working bees for a permanent clubhouse, completed in June 1974. The second nine holes opened at the same time, giving Barnwell Park its present 18-hole form.

Today

Barnwell Park remains member-owned but accommodates social golf seven days a week. The club also runs Disc Golf and FootGolf on dedicated layouts and maintains an active competition program.
