Royal Sydney Golf Club has been through a great deal of hard in the background prior to the commencement of breaking ground by Golf Course Architect Gil Hanse and his team back in 2023. Gil was selected by the club back in 2016 to reimagine the golf course, a club that is one of the oldest in Australia's.

Soon after the project's announcement, backlash from some members of the local community would ultimately force the project to the Land & Environment Court, which after a number of years, would rule in favour of the golf club.

Golf Course Superintendent, Adam Marchant, has an insight to the entire project that few others have. He and his team were at the centre of this entire project given that they are the ones who will care for and nurture the new golf course into the future, along with retaining the architectural and environmental integrity of what has been created.

If you want to know more about the detail of the new course at Royal Sydney Golf Club, then this is the podcast episode for you. Join with me as Adam gives a deep and extensive insight into the entirety of this enormous project from top to bottom and everything in-between, including how greenkeeping and architecture are intertwined to deliver a specific type of golf course. You are in the box seat as Adam describes everything in great detail that not only went into creating this new golf course, but what it will take to maintain it into the future.

Royal Sydney Golf Club could just be the new definition for golf in Sydney!

You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
