Loved by the Northcote community

Real feedback from the people who play golf here every week. A community facility built for everyone.

Lovely staff, welcome feeling

Staff in general are lovely and I’ve met some good people out during rounds.

I wanted to give a shout out to Claire. I don’t think I would be a member let alone be into golf if it wasn’t for her. Always makes me and my friends feel so welcome.

Above and beyond customer service

Best local course for one reason – the ladies at the pro shop! They couldn’t be more welcoming, positive, and always up for a chat. The course is well taken care of and flows at a good pace but without the above and beyond customer service, it would just be another course.

Matt B

Great value and customer service

Very enjoyable 9 hole public golf course. Great value and friendly customer service.

"Royal Northcote" is a must-play

The staff are an absolute delight, and Claire Traill’s women’s golf programs are a fantastic entry point for female players. Standout holes include the sixth, where an elevated tee lets you watch your ball drop beautifully onto the green, and the seventh, a thrilling drivable par 4 over a water hazard that’s immensely satisfying when you stick the green. Royal Northcote is a must-play for golfers of all levels.
