Ep93: Cathedral

About this episode

The episode discusses Matt's visit to Cathedral Golf Club and covers various topics related to golf in Australia.

One of Matt’s aims for 2026 was realised last week when he finally locked eyes on Cathedral Golf Club. We start the episode with a wide-ranging preliminary chat touching on a range of topics. The cost of public golf in the Hunter Valley, Church pew bunkers at Curlewis, the recent series of Womens Australian events (including the Australian Open and WPGA) and Hannah’s triumphs, Sam McClure’s articles and Rory’s wish to visit New South Wales GC. We then move onto the course at club at Cathedral and cover all manner of points. Routing, clubhouse, location, turf conditions, and more. Similarities with Ellerston, best holes, the integral role of the dry creek beds through the routing – even the drive to and from. Cathedral is a course that a lucky but small minority of Australian golfers will see, yet all those who are fortunate enough to visit will no doubt enjoy. Did we get it wrong on Cathedral in the 2025 Australian Golf Passport Top 50 Rankings? Perhaps… Some images of the course on the website of Greg Norman Golf Course Design - https://gngcd.com/courses/cathedral-lodge/ The Cathedral home page – with a link to visit the Cathedral Invitational - https://cathedralgolfclub.com.au/…
