Catalina Club – Destination Golf on the NSW South Coast
Set against the pristine waterways of the Clyde River estuary and framed by rolling parkland, Catalina Club stands as one of the NSW South Coast’s most respected and complete golf destinations. Located in Batemans Bay, Catalina offers visitors a premium golfing experience supported by outstanding facilities, award-winning hospitality and exceptional natural beauty—making it a cornerstone of any South Coast golfing getaway.
The Club’s 27-hole championship parkland course is renowned for its conditioning, strategic design and year-round playability. Tree-lined fairways, elevated greens and ever-changing coastal light create a course that rewards thoughtful shot-making while remaining enjoyable for golfers of all abilities. Regularly praised for presentation and play, Catalina consistently ranks among the region’s premium clubs and is trusted to host elite competition.
That trust is reflected in Catalina’s tournament history. The Club is proud home to the Batemans Bay Open, the NSW Junior Masters, the Catalina Classic, and the South Coast Open / NSW Open Qualifier—events that attract leading professionals, emerging talent and elite amateurs from across the state and beyond. These tournaments reinforce Catalina’s standing as a venue capable of delivering high-quality championship golf while maintaining exceptional member and visitor experiences.
Catalina Club forms part of one of NSW’s most compelling destination golf clusters, sitting alongside the renowned Mollymook Golf Club and Narooma Golf Club. Together, these clubs draw golfers from Sydney, Canberra and interstate, positioning the South Coast as a premier multi-course destination. With excellent hotels, resorts and short-stay accommodation nearby, Catalina is ideally placed for extended golfing getaways, touring groups and corporate golf travel.
The Club is proudly home to Rodney Booth, Titleist Grass-Roots Sports Ambassador and PGA Australian Club Professional of the Year. Rodney’s presence reflects Catalina’s commitment to excellence in coaching, high-performance pathways and professional standards. His leadership continues to elevate participation across all levels, from elite development to introductory and social golf.
Catalina boasts one of the most active and successful junior programs in NSW, earning Junior Club of the Yearrecognition. The Club’s junior pathway provides structured coaching, competitive opportunities and a welcoming environment for families, reinforcing Catalina’s role as a leader in junior golf development and the long-term health of the game.
The Club also supports one of the largest Veterans golfing communities in the state, complete with its own dedicated online portal. This highly organised cohort enjoys a comprehensive competition calendar, strong social engagement and tailored services that reflect Catalina Club’s inclusive and professional approach.
Equally significant is Catalina Club’s large and active ladies’ membership, among the strongest in NSW. With a full tournament and competition schedule, representative success and a deeply connected social culture, the ladies’ program plays a central role in Club life and contributes meaningfully to Catalina’s reputation as a progressive and welcoming golf club.
Beyond the course, Catalina delivers an excellent clubhouse experience that rivals leading metropolitan venues. The recently refurbished clubhouse features multiple bars, relaxed lounges, expansive terraces overlooking the course and the award-winning 1920 Restaurant, which has secured the Perfect Plate Award for two consecutive years. Combined with one of the region’s largest wine cellars, the Club offers a hospitality experience that enhances its appeal to golfers, partners and visitors alike.
Accessible, award-winning and community-driven, Catalina Club represents the very best of South Coast golf—a premium destination where championship golf, outstanding natural beauty and genuine hospitality combine to create an unforgettable golfing experience.
