Unlike many leading golf clubs in Sydney which operate on lease-hold land, the members of Ryde-Parramatta own the land and property which house the facilities.
The fairways are surfaced with manicured Kikuyu and with the relatively level topography, make an enjoyable walking course. Greens are surfaced with a combination of Bentgrass and Poa Annua.
Archer Creek meanders its way through the course and comes into play on 14 holes (maybe more if you stray to the wrong fairway!). The creek whilst a key part of the course design also maintains our significant water supply, via multiple on-site dams. This storage capacity combined with a modern irrigation system, provides the ability to maximise turf condition whilst responsibly managing this precious resource.
The Par 71 course measures 6,040 metres from the back tees and Ryde-Parramatta has the luxury of a spare hole which reduces member inconvenience when course work is necessary.
