Eastlake Golf Club is one of Sydney’s genuinely unheralded layouts which lies in the shadows of a trio of highly ranked sandbelt courses. Laid out on two narrow strips of sandy ground, Eastlake has recently polished its golfing offering and it’s now set to be a NSW golfing force to be reckoned with.
The club dates back to 1930 when nine holes were brought into play. Two years later, there was an 18-hole layout in operation. Nowadays, the course measures just over 5,800 metres from the back tees and plays to a par of 72 (37 for the front nine then 35 for the shorter back nine).
Unusually, the first par three hole isn’t played until reaching the 174-metre 9th (“Wee Burn”). Holes 5 to 13 are laid out on a separate piece of property which is accessed by a bridge over a main highway.
Highlights at Eastlake include the slightly left doglegging par four 8th (“Devil’s Elbow”) which plays over a large wasteland area in front of an offset green, and the par five 15th (Hooker’s Horror”) which narrows considerably as the fairway approaches a heavily sand-protected green.

Apperly's most famous golfing achievement was in 1920 when he became the first golfer from NSW to win the Australian Amateur Championship, beating Tommy Howard in the final at The Australian.
