Le Meilleur Horizons Golf Resort

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1992

Horizons Resort: two well designed nine-hole loops, out-and-back from the resort centre, take you into some surprisingly natural habitats and ensure this is one of the best golf locations in the Port Stephens area.

Excellent earth mounding along the fairways, impressive and highly effective bunkering and top quality greenkeeping all contribute to this US-style resort layout. However, where things differ from many a US-style resort course, is the policy of keeping the limited resort real estate at a discreet distance from the golf, and in retaining some lovely areas of swamp and wetlands, around which both of the flattish nines wander.

Water plays its part on 5 or 6 holes, but with an absence of penal rough and a tree-line on many holes giving sufficient width to drive the ball (with some margin of error), you should experience a highly pleasurable round of golf in a pleasantly natural setting.

Stay&Play at Horizons Resort: onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.

Alex Cejka: buffeted by rain and high winds, especially on the high-scoring final day, Čejka prevailed over Pádraig Harrington in a playoff at Royal Porthcawl, to scoop the Senior Open Championship title.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
