Our Course The links offers 4 different set of tee markers to cater for golfers of all level. We don't use traditional colours to identify them and instead we use items inspired by our local area. Quarry Course (Not for the faint hearted) Our hardest course derives its name from the hard basalt extracted from the Bass Point quarry that shares a border with the golf course. Operated by Hanson s as part of the Heidelberg cement group and has been part of the local community since 1880. The team at the quarry has and continues to be a strong supporter of The Links Shell Cove. Handicap Range: 0-6 Slope Rating: 129 Scratch Rating: 70 Brickyard Course (Harsh but fair) As bricks are used as foundations for any strong building, the bricks at The Links Shell Cove are used as a symbol of recognition to those foundation members from the original Shellharbour Golf Club. The brickyard course is used for the majority of our men s competitions. Handicap Range: 0-18 Slope Rating: 122 Scratch Rating: 68
Our Course continued... Steelworks Course (something for everyone) Our most popular course for play, The Steelworks tees are used as a symbol to recognise the steel industry and its influence in Wollongong and the greater Illawarra.

Dress Code To keep in-line with LSC s relaxed atmosphere, there is no need for collared shirts, knee high socks or the traditional plus 4 s that are often associated with golf courses. We want you and your guests to be relaxed and comfortable, so, when you arrive at LSC, answer yes to these questions and you are ready to play! Are you wearing a shirt? Are you wearing shorts/pants? Are you wearing shoes? Drinks on course Sometimes you need a drink on the course to loosen up that swing, and that s ok! However, The Links Shell Cove is a fully licensed facility, which means it is illegal to bring your own alcohol onto the premises. This includes the Tavern and all areas of the golf course. Cans of alcohol (no glass permitted on course) can be purchased from the golf shop before and/or during play, there is eskys on all the carts and we will even get you some ice to keep them chilled.
On Course Activities Need some NTP s, long drive s or drive & pitch markers made up for your group? Let us know in advance and we will have them prepared and ready to go out with your first group. Slow Play It s great to stop and smell the roses, but it s no fun watching them grow! Please enjoy your day out on the picturesque Links course, but be sure to keep up with the group in-front of you and everyone can get back to the clubhouse in time for a drink before lunch Scoring & Presentation The tavern has some great areas and a nice relaxed atmosphere perfect for your post golf needs. If you need a little something extra prepared like prize tables or microphones for your presentation just let the golf ops staff know.
