Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We attended a friends party last night. The setting was just beautiful. The canapes were really delicious. The service was friendly and very helpful.
Can't praise it highly enough. We are locals and shall certainly be visiting more often.
Thank you for making this such a special occasion for a really beautiful friend.

Golf course located on an island. Conditions fair and course relatively flat. Beautiful 19th hole looking out at the water. Warm and friendly staff at the pro shop.

The perfect way to spend a sunny morning in Nambucca Heads. Lots of friendly locals, and the course was in great condition!

Food is ok. Typical club type food. Garlic prawns where nice. Bistro desperately needs an update. Please please remove the cigarette vending machine from right inside your front door! Hot rock night seems very popular.

The place might look a little outdated on the outside and inside but the staff are extremely friendly . Big shout out to Virginia for her friendliness. The meal in the bistro was huge and fresh ad in the fact you have a water view !

Where else can you play golf with the dolphins swimming alongside the most picturesque fairways. You have the gorgeous aqua blue water of the Nambucca River flowing alongside as well.
This is a top place to play golf. Friendly pro shop and staff and beautifully kept course by a caring club of members.
The restaurant has beautiful hot rocks steaks on Thursday night and is great to sit and enjoy the view over the river at any time.
You can even take your well behaved dog on a leash when you play a social game. A golden Australian gem.

Oh my Lordy , what a delectable suprise !!!
Husband was most excited to have a Eye Fillet Hot Rock with prawns. So did not expect that , as he has only seen Hot Rocks in the big city . Mum had a Carbonara Chicken Schnitzel that was goddam so good ! Heaps of Parma cheese, that’s the way to go. The Calamari ticked all the boxes and a good size if you don’t want a huge meal . My Mexican salad was awesome, the Chipotle Sayce had a zing to it, and the size was huge . Our Pav, was great , you really can’t wreck a lab hey. I had the chocolate mint cheesecake , tbh ,was ok . The base was chocolate and the cake itself tasted like Creme De Menthe, which would have been ok if I was still in my teens, but I am now in my 50s. I was expecting chocolate with a mint taste through it. But that’s me . The club itself is huge, great big windows to view the river and wanna be fisherman’s. You can also see Nambucca Geads beach from the club. We lunched New Years Day and didn’t have any trouble finding a park. Our reservation was for 12, and I noticed many lunchers did not arrive until 1 .

We played the Golf course and found it to be good a flat layout requiring straight hitting. It was a busy friday and a little slow to get around. Fairways needed some rain. What stood out was how friendlly everyone was. From the Proshop to the members they were all smiles.
