	Avondale Golf Club is located in a quiet, secluded part of the Upper North Shore of Sydney. Although within walking distance of Pymble railway station, there are no roads on the boundaries, few houses are visible from the course, and only a distant view of Macquarie University betrays its position in the outer suburbs of the city. The magnificant course at Avondale was crafted in 1926 from heavily timbered slopes, rocky outcrops and dry stony ridges. Its lush greens and couch fairways wind through the native Australian bush, which provides a buffer against the encroachment of the outside world and harbours an abundance of bird life. The privacy and sense of tranquillity engendered by the protection of the surrounding bush makes Avondale unique. The 18 hole course (Par 71 and 6,059m from the Championship Plates) is rated as a Group 1 course by the NSW Golf Association. visit Avondale Golf Club here
