Frequently Asked Questions

Is Belmont Golf & Bowls a challenging course, or is it more beginner-friendly?

You'll find Belmont offers a really enjoyable round for golfers of all abilities, striking a nice balance. The course isn't overly long, but strategically placed bunkers and some tricky greens will keep you honest, especially on the back nine. It's a great spot to work on your game without feeling overwhelmed.

What's the best time of year to visit Belmont Golf & Bowls for a round of golf?

We highly recommend visiting Belmont during the spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) months. The weather is typically mild and pleasant then, making for ideal playing conditions, and the course is usually in fantastic shape. Summer can get quite warm, so an early tee time is your best bet if you're visiting then.

Beyond golf, what unique experiences does Belmont Golf & Bowls offer?

Absolutely, the "Bowls" part of the name isn't just for show-you can definitely try your hand at lawn bowls here, which is a fantastic social activity. We love that you can easily transition from the golf course to the greens for a relaxed afternoon with friends. The club also has a welcoming bistro and bar, perfect for unwinding after your game.

How does Belmont Golf & Bowls compare in terms of value and experience to other courses in the Newcastle region?

Belmont truly stands out as excellent value in the Newcastle area, offering a well-maintained course and a friendly atmosphere without the premium price tag of some other clubs. You get a genuine local experience here, where the focus is on enjoyable golf and community, rather than just prestige. It's a real gem for a relaxed day out.

Are there any specific holes or features at Belmont Golf & Bowls that I should look out for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th hole; it's a beauty with a challenging green protected by bunkers, demanding a precise shot. We also really enjoy the finishing stretch, particularly the 18th, which offers a great chance to finish strong right back at the clubhouse. The course generally features mature trees and well-kept fairways, making for a pleasant walk.
