Situated in the heart of the Blue Mountains, the course at Wentworth Falls Country Club is a Dan Soutar design which began in 1916 as a 9-hole layout. Eight of these original holes still feature in the modern day 18-hole course.
Today, the course extends to just over 5,700 metres, with par set at 70. Holes are set out in three distinct compartments that are separated by roads: holes 1, 10, 11 and 18 lie closest to the clubhouse (which was built on the corner of Blaxland Road and Beatty Road in 1976); the original eight holes (#2 to #9) sit to the east of Pauline Avenue; and holes 12 to 16 occupy another area to the south of Waratah Road.
Highlights on this tree-lined track include the only par five on the front nine at the 483-metre 3rd (with a fairway that has out of bounds to the left and an irrigation pond to the right); the slightly downhill par three 15th (with trees to the left, out of bounds to the right and a bunker protecting the front right of the green); and the short par four closing hole which plays steeply uphill to a bunker-free home green with a back to front camber.

Three months after stepping onto Australian soil, Dan Soutar won the 1903 Australian Amateur Championship. He also won the NSW Amateur that year then repeated the feat twelve months later.
