Did you know?

The Tuncurry course originally started life as the Great Lakes Country Club, later becoming part of the Forster Tuncurry Golf Club, when its initial owners went into receivership. Forster Tuncurry now boasts two golf courses - the Forster course, just south of the town of Forster, and across the Coolongolook River, the Tuncurry course, just north of the town of Tuncurry.

The Forster Tuncurry Golf Club is located in the Great Lakes area on New South Wales' Mid North Coast, a three hour drive north of Sydney. Surfing, beaches, national parks, fishing, dolphin and whale watching make Forster-Tuncurry a popular visitor destination.
