Pennant Hills Golf Club Announces Partnership with The Player Group

Pennant Hills Golf Club has ushered in a new era, announcing a partnership that makes it the first golf course in Australia to engage The Player Group for a redesign, led by renowned course architect Phil Jacobs.

This collaboration signals a significant step in the Club’s long-term commitment to preserving its rich heritage while dramatically elevating course quality and sustainability for future generations of golfers.

Pennant Hills, founded over a century ago and admired for its classic Australian parkland character, selected The Player Group for their philosophy, which marries respect for traditional course architecture with modern principles of playability, environmental care, and member enjoyment.

The Vision for Transformation

Lead architect Phil Jacobs, who brings extensive experience from working alongside golf legend Gary Player on acclaimed global designs, will head the project. His vision for Pennant Hills centres on:

Enhancing natural contours.
Improving strategic interest.
Refining the overall aesthetic.
Maintaining the timeless charm that defines the Club.

Repairs and Maintenance Underway

The initial, visible phase of this transformative journey is already underway with the Club’s ongoing Repairs & Maintenance Project.

“The current phase of works… focuses on essential course infrastructure and conditioning improvements that will underpin the broader redesign,” a Club statement confirmed.

Key areas of the course are being reshaped and renewed to address crucial infrastructure needs, including improved drainage, turf quality, and sustainability. These efforts are part of the Club’s proactive approach to course stewardship, ensuring every improvement supports the long-term vision being developed with The Player Group.

As Pennant Hills Golf Club embarks on this exciting partnership, members and guests can anticipate a course that will honour its distinguished heritage while embracing the very best of modern golf design. This collaboration reinforces the Club’s reputation as one of Australia’s leading private golf clubs committed to excellence, sustainability, and the enduring joy of the game.
