As the resort reflects on its rich history and remarkable achievements, the future has never looked brighter.

This significant milestone represents an important chapter in Australian golf history. Throughout its relatively short but distinguished existence, Riverside Oaks Golf Resort has hosted some of the nation's most prestigious tournaments, including serving as the home of the Australian PGA Championship, while welcoming many of Australia's leading golfers who have etched their names into the sport's history through victories at the venue.

Since acquiring Riverside Oaks Golf Resort in 2009, the current ownership group has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the property's future, investing tens of millions of dollars into the redevelopment and enhancement of the resort. Among the most notable achievements was the construction of the nationally acclaimed Bob Harrison-designed Bungool Golf Course, a bold addition that further elevated Riverside Oaks' standing within the Australian golfing landscape.

Like many communities and businesses across New South Wales, Riverside Oaks has faced unprecedented challenges in recent years due to repeated flooding events. The Bungool Golf Course was significantly impacted by major floods beginning in 2021. During reconstruction efforts in 2022, substantial restoration work was once again devastated by further flooding, requiring extensive rebuilding to commence all over again.

Despite these setbacks, the owners remain resolute in their commitment to the property and its long-term future. Plans are firmly in place to restore the Bungool Golf Course to its former glory in 2027, ensuring future generations of golfers can once again experience this acclaimed championship layout.

In addition, Phase 2 renovations of the Riverside Oaks Resort Clubhouse are planned to further strengthen the venue's reputation as one of Northwestern Sydney's premier wedding, conference, and event destinations. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Hawkesbury region and the resort's expansive natural vistas, these improvements will enhance the visitor experience while creating even greater opportunities for the local community and tourism sector.

Course Review: Riverside Oaks

Riverside Oaks has seen it all - boom, bust, and rebirth. From its star-studded 1980s debut to battling natural disasters, this iconic course remains a must-play, blending rich history with modern excellence, writes Brendan James of Snaphook Media.

The investment extends well beyond infrastructure. Continuous financial support of the resort's original and much-loved Gangurru Golf Course has ensured that playing conditions remain among the finest in New South Wales. Recent upgrades include the introduction of a brand-new fleet of state-of-the-art Club Car golf carts and a new fleet of Toro course maintenance machinery, reflecting a commitment to excellence with no expense spared.

As a result, Riverside Oaks now offers golfing conditions that are second to none, reinforcing its position as a true "must-play" destination for golfers visiting Sydney. Located just 60 minutes from Sydney CBD, the resort combines championship golf, outstanding hospitality, and spectacular scenery in a uniquely Australian setting.

Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated development for members, guests, local residents, and visitors alike is the scheduled start of rebuilding the resort's entrance road in October 2026. This major project is expected to significantly improve accessibility and enhance the overall visitor experience, delivering long-awaited benefits to the broader Riverside Oaks community.

While celebrating 40 years of achievement, Riverside Oaks Golf Resort is focused firmly on the future. The upcoming restoration of Bungool, continued clubhouse improvements, infrastructure upgrades, and additional development initiatives currently being planned signal an exciting new era for the resort.

As Sydney continues its growth and expansion into the west, Riverside Oaks Golf Resort is poised to play a major role in the region's future, creating new opportunities for tourism, recreation, events, and investment.

"Forty years is a remarkable milestone, but we believe the best is yet to come. Our commitment to Riverside Oaks remains stronger than ever, and we are excited to continue investing in the resort, our guests, and the broader community. The future of Riverside Oaks Golf Resort has never looked brighter."
