The food is consistently delicious and the service is always excellent. It's definitely one of my favorite places!

The prices for alcoholic drinks and food were quite reasonable. While the food was good, it didn’t quite reach the level of amazing. I ordered the lamb shank with red wine sauce, mashed potatoes, and vegetables from the specials board. The meat was tender, the mash was smooth, but the sauce lacked flavor, yet I still enjoyed my meal. I also had the chance to try the tomato gnocchi, Thai green curry, and prawn and chorizo rigatoni. To summarize, the gnocchi was light, soft, and packed with flavor, while the Thai green curry was quite ordinary and tasted mostly of coconut rice without much complexity. The rigatoni featured tender, juicy prawns paired with a delightful sauce. Overall, the reasonable prices and pleasant atmosphere outweigh the minor shortcomings of the food. Most of my dining companions were pleased with their meals as well.

I had friends visiting from Canada on Saturday, August 26, 2017, and Gerald, who hails from Alberta—an area known for its beef and someone who truly understands steak—declared it among the best he’s ever had, which is high praise indeed! The main courses were served promptly and were all exceptional. There were four tables of eight behind us, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The prices were excellent, and the views of Malabar Inlet and the beach were stunning. I will definitely go back again! – Sandy Campbell

We ordered a well-done steak but it was still inadequately cooked, still red on the inside, and fish and chips, which was stock-standard and featured fried frozen fish from those boxes rather than fried frozen fish that you get at a good fish and chipper. The service was poor, with the staff incredibly inattentive and unresponsive, and the ambience was marred by the boisterousness of some of the diners and some of the diners who clearly had not gotten the message regarding changes to smoking in or near dining areas. However, it was heart-warming to see that the staff actually cared to call someone out on their smoking. All in all, we would not recommend dining at Randwick Golf Club. However, the place is probably a great place for locals if no other, cheaper and better options are available.

My only criticism was that the fish was slightly dry, possibly due to being overcooked. The atmosphere was also very pleasant and the staff were exceptional...very friendly. I would definitely come back again.
