About 2 hours from Sydney, Blackheath Golf Club in the Blue Mountains is a golf course recommended for those who want to enjoy both golf and travel. It is about 20 minutes by car from Katoomba, which is well known for Blue Mountain tourism, and because it is located far from the city center, there are fewer members and visitors, allowing for a very leisurely round.
Location and Accessibility
- Address: Brightlands Ave, Blackheath NSW 2785
- Travel time: Approximately 2 hours by car from Sydney CBD
Course composition (clear contrast between the first and second half)
Blackheath Golf Club is an 18-hole course, with the first and second nine holes each having their own unique characteristics.
- The first 9 holes are mostly flat, and despite being a local club, the grass and greens are well maintained, and even the large trees between the holes are well-designed as part of the course.
- The back nine holes are laid out around the perimeter of the golf course, making them more difficult than the first half. There are many holes with fairways that flow from right to left and dogleg structures, requiring a strategic approach to the course.
Two particularly impressive par 3 holes add to the fun of the round:
- The long par 3 hole of 200 meters requires careful judgment starting with club selection.
- The 140-meter par 3 hole over water is a challenging hole that requires the player to overcome the visual pressure of water.
Round with autumn leaves
What makes Blackheath Golf Club even more special is the scenery that changes with the seasons.
Especially in the fall, when the trees along the course turn red, the golf course literally becomes a landscape painting.
One of the great charms of this golf course is that you can feel the change of seasons and the leisure of nature at the same time while playing golf.
Blackheath is located close to the famous tourist attractions of the Blue Mountains, so it is a great place to enjoy a round before or after a sightseeing trip, or to enjoy the villages and nature around the Blue Mountains while playing golf.
