Club Facilities

Byron Bay Golf Club is home to a picturesque 18-hole course with stunning ocean views, rolling hills, and a layout that offers something new at every turn. One nine plays east/west with sweeping sea views, while the other features lighthouse vistas on a north/south stretch. It’s golf with a backdrop worth bragging about.

Our facilities open daily from 10am, with our friendly team on hand to help you get the most out of your visit.

After your round, head up to the clubhouse — perched perfectly above the 18th green — for a well-earned drink. We’re fully licensed and offer Keno, TAB and gaming facilities, so there’s always something happening, even after the last putt drops.

Need to freshen up? We’ve got change rooms on-site, making it easy to go from course to clubhouse in no time. Then take a seat on the deck, sip one of our 14 beers or ciders on tap, enjoy a wine from our extensive list, or cool down with a classic Schweppes soft drink.

Our Story

Byron Bay Golf Club as we know it today is the result of big dreams, hard work, and a whole lot of community spirit. What started out as a simple idea among a few passionate locals has grown into an 18-hole course that golfers travel far and wide to enjoy.

Back in October 1957

A group of golf lovers in Byron Bay decided it was time the town had a course of its own. After scouting a few different spots, they found the perfect place—a 193-acre dairy farm on Broken Head Road, complete with rolling hills, good grass, a working quarry, and even a farmhouse they thought could become a clubhouse.

The First Working Bee

On 24 October 1957, they rolled up their sleeves for the first of many working bees. Old fences came down, barbed wire was hauled away, and with regular Victa mowers buzzing, the first fairways and greens began to take shape. Sunday family working bees quickly became the norm—and a real community affair.

From 7 to 9 Holes

With a lot of elbow grease and a few handy carpenters among the members, the old farmhouse was transformed. By April 1958, the course was ready for action, and 100 keen golfers turned up for a 27-hole opening day event. Meanwhile, the women’s “Associates” worked wonders with a tiny kitchen, putting on a spread that included morning tea, lunch, and afternoon treats.

Growing to 18 Holes

Soon, eyes turned to expansion. Thanks to even more volunteer help and local backing, an extra 4 holes opened in 1980. Then, the final stretch—holes 15 to 18—was completed and officially opened on 6 March 1983 by NSW Golf Union President Lionel Barnett, creating the full 18-hole, Par 72 layout we enjoy today.

Evolving with Time

Over the years, the course has been fine-tuned with new greens, re-grassed fairways, and hundreds of trees planted. In 1975, the clubhouse moved to its current site—a welcome upgrade that gave members a fantastic place to unwind after a round.

Since then, the club has only grown stronger. The Associates kept up their legendary fundraising and catering, new facilities were added, and the course continued to mature into the challenging, beautiful place it is now.
