Woollahra Golf Club is a public nine-hole course at Rose Bay in Sydney's eastern suburbs. Its official history traces the club's formation to 1927, when Woollahra Council town clerk John Lough initiated the project, while the course itself opened to the public on 11 April 1932. The nine-hole routing is par 34, with seven par 4s and two par 3s.
Published scorecards place the yellow course at about 2,536 yards for nine holes, with the red course slightly shorter. The site has a distinctive wartime history: during the Japanese submarine attack on Sydney in 1942, a shell landed unexploded near the pump house on the sixth fairway and was later removed by the Army. Woollahra Council acquired additional land from neighbouring Royal Sydney Golf Club in 1953, allowing changes to the course.
