"At Sydney, I made an entirely new course for the New South Wales Golf Club at a place called La Perouse. This presents, I think, more spectacular views than any place I know with the possible exception of the new Cypress Point golf course in California."
— Alister MacKenzie, May 1927
A unique feature of the course design is that it has four par-five holes and four par-three holes and each of these is oriented north, south, east and west.
