Balgownie Hotel Social Golf Club

Great People, Great Golf Courses

We don’t own a course. We have a pub, a monthly game somewhere around the Illawarra, South Coast or Highlands, and members that become mates.

Social club, not a course

A new layout every month. Same pub every Friday.

We have golfers of all ages and abilities. The most important part of our club is that you’re having fun.

Bally SGC supports golf courses all over the Illawarra and Highlands. A new course every month — you’ll never get bored of playing the same old layout. It’s all about variety.

Friday from 5pm at the Balgownie Hotel

Balgownie Hotel is Wollongong’s premier pub and is our base for good times, beers, food, presentations and golf stories. The perfect place for the home of Bally Social Golf. After every golf day we reconvene there from 12:30.
