I walked into this cammeray golf club review with one practical question: does it make sense for a normal Australian golfer?
Cammeray is not trying to be Royal Sydney in miniature. Its strength is the opposite: short holes, public access, a relaxed clubhouse, and a format that makes golf feel less intimidating.
This review covers green fees, access, subs, facilities, dress standards, and the real trade-offs before you book.

What I Liked
Image: Cammeray Golf Club
- Public access with no secret-handshake energy
- Beginner-friendly 9-hole par-3 format
- Club hire and six carts available through bookings
- A$20 social membership with A$10 bar credit
- NSW Government has moved to secure golf at the site
The standout: Cammeray makes golf feel casual without making it careless.
What I Didn’t Like
- Not a full-length course
- Live green fees are harder to audit than a static fee table
- Weekend parking can fill quickly
- Children must stay off the course unless playing safely
Do not come here expecting a championship test. Come here for easy, social, quick golf.

Cammeray would be stronger with a static public rate table, but its access model is refreshingly simple.

Best Time to Play
March-May and September-November suit Sydney short-course golf best. Summer arvo rounds can still work if heat is mild.
Book ahead, especially if you want a cart, clubs, or a meal after the round.
Dress Code and Etiquette
The club asks for enclosed shoes. Otherwise, keep it neat, comfortable, and clubhouse appropriate.
Because beginners are welcome, patience matters. Keep pace, stay aware, and give new golfers room.
Who Is This Club For?
Image: Cammeray Golf Club
This club is a good fit if you want a quick North Shore hit without the pressure of a long layout.
It also works if you are introducing kids, partners, or mates to golf for the first time.
Skip it if you measure every course by length, slope, or championship pedigree.
Local Comparison
Compared with Northbridge, Cammeray is even more beginner-focused. It is a social par-3, not a strategic short 18-hole grind.
For nearby context, see Northbridge Golf Club Long Reef Golf Club NSW golf club reviews. I also use the same scoring approach explained in our review methodology.

Cammeray Golf Club scores 4.0 out of 5. Cammeray scores well because it knows exactly what it is. It is welcoming, public, short, and genuinely useful for growing the game.

Author Note
I review clubs from the viewpoint of a regular golfer checking access, price, conditioning, and whether the club suits its local market.
