Port Macquarie

About this course

Country · Turf · clockwise

Port Macquarie races on the mid-north coast, and the district has held meetings since the early colonial years. The course is laid out symmetrically — two long straights joined by sweeping cambered turns — and grassed with kikuyu, which stands up to the coastal climate better than the finer turfs used further south.
