From Gosford
Twenty minutes door to first tee.
The drive from Gosford CBD takes you north on the Pacific Motorway for about ten minutes, then west on Peats Ridge Road. You'll pass through native bushland for the last leg before the course opens up on the right. There's parking for 140 cars on site — no street parking, no fuss.
For Gosford locals, that's faster than driving to most public courses in the region. We see plenty of regulars who can be on the first tee within 25 minutes of locking their front door.
The course is at 1080 Peats Ridge Road, Peats Ridge NSW 2250. Open in Google Maps and the directions take you straight there.

For Gosford golfers
A short drive, a real round.
If you're a Gosford-based golfer, your options are: the local public course (short, often busy), drive 90 minutes to a city club (long day), or come 20 minutes north to us. The Springs is the only championship-length course built around a bushland setting that's still inside what most locals would call "easy distance."
Eighteen holes, par 72, designed by Al Howard and Graham Papworth — both known for their work on Sydney's championship layouts. You get the round you'd drive to the city for, without the drive.
