Nelson Bay Golf Club
About
Overview & Vibe
Nelson Bay Golf Club sits on Dowling Street five minutes’ walk from the Nelson Bay CBD and marina, its course spread through spotted gum bushland where kangaroos graze the fairways in the late afternoon.
Setting & Style
Ceremonies happen outdoors on the course, surrounded by nature, with an arbour set among the gums. The function rooms combine to take two hundred for a cocktail party or a hundred and forty seated; opened up entirely the club can hold two hundred and thirty. A smaller room opens onto the Tomaree Terrace for forty seated or sixty cocktail, with a private bar on the terrace by arrangement, and there is a secluded outdoor space for up to seventy. Parking is free in the club’s own car park, guests enter through the functions entrance, and the couple get a private room for a drink before being announced.
