Forster Tuncurry Golf Club (Tuncurry Course)

Overview: Tuncurry is the championship 18-hole course at Forster Tuncurry Golf Club, laid out in links-style coastal bushland on the Mid North Coast near Forster. The club lists a par of 72 and a length of 6,203 metres from the men’s tees. Fairways run through sandy native country, and the mix of wind, exposed approaches and firm ground gives the round a genuine seaside character even where the coast is not constantly visible. It is the stronger choice for golfers wanting a full-length holiday round around Forster and Tuncurry.

History: The Tuncurry course was designed by Australian golfing great Kel Nagle and Mike Cooper and opened in 1984. The collaboration gave the club a layout with a clear links influence, while later course work has kept the property usable for modern visitors. Tuncurry is now paired with the shorter Forster course under the same club, creating a two-course destination rather than a single resort loop.

Did You Know? Tuncurry’s identity is often reduced to the word “links,” but the official description also emphasizes bushland. That combination is the key to the experience: the course has the openness and wind exposure associated with seaside golf while retaining the native vegetation of the Mid North Coast.
