Located on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches, Bayview Golf Club is a privately owned club renowned for its friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Tucked away among the peninsulas rolling hills and resort style palm trees, the club offers a challenging yet enjoyable 18 hole, par 71 (par 74 for women) that caters to golf of all standards. The tree lined fairways, recently renovated greens ( with input from PGA Tour winner Craig Parry), signature dogleg holes and picturesque waterways provide unique and varied golfing experiences.
Beyond the golf Bayview offers a stylish lounge, restaurant and bar overlooking the 18th green and iconic elephant water feature. Whether you are an experienced player or new to the sport, Bayview Golf Club provides a beautiful and welcoming environment where you can feel you Belong.
History
In 1924 a New Zealand sheep farmer, John Orr and his wife Christina Orr, arrived in Australia. The couple purchased a parcel of land known as the Winnererremy Swamp. John was a keen golfer and it wasn’t long before he built six holes for his own enjoyment. Being a generous man, he asked others to play while Christina entertained with afternoon tea.
In 1928, a small Clubhouse was built, and a tin was nailed to an Ironbark tree beside the 1st tee. An honesty system of 1-shilling a round was agreed upon. In 1932, a larger Clubhouse was built and in 1933, more land was purchased on the far side of Cabbage Tree Road. This was the beginning of Bayview Golf Club.
Our Golf Club has had a number of name changes over the years – Bayview Links, Bayview Country Club and Bayview Country Golf Links. In 1948, Bayview Golf Club Limited was formed. The Club was leased by the Members until 1967, when funds were raised to purchase the Club from the Orrs.
In February of 2009, Bayview Golf Club invested in a new $7.2 million state of the art Clubhouse. Our members now have access to a stylish members lounge, bar and restaurant.
Elephant Statues
As far as we know the elephants were sculptured by Mr. Harold Squires in the mid to late 1920s for the owners of Bayview Golf Links, Mr John Orr and his wife Christina. The elephants stood in front of their house in a large pond which overlooked the golf course.
As can be seen from one of the early Post Cards of Mona Vale the elephants were originally built as a fountain. Now installed in their new home by the 18th green we can again enjoy them as a water feature. With the demolition of John Orr’s house and the old clubhouse the elephants are the only memory of a bygone area.
