The Lakes Golf Club is an Australian golf course, located in the Sydney suburb of Eastlakes in New South Wales. Founded in 1928,[1][2] this private golf course is approximately a 10-minute drive from Sydney central business district. The course, designed by Mike Clayton (now Ogilvy Clayton Cocking Mead) had a waiting list for full seven-day playing members and attracted a joining fee of A$33,000 in 2012.[3]

The course has hosted the Australian Open seven times, most recently in 2018. The first two events were won by legends Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman. The event also hosted the 1973 Chrysler Classic, an official event on the Australasian Tour, which was won by Lee Trevino.
