Macquarie Links is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Macquarie Links is located 42 kilometres (26 mi) south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Campbelltown and is part of the Macarthur region.

Macquarie Links has been a suburb restricted to local residents since late 2003. A gated community, residents there chose to close the gates at the estate’s only entrance in 2003, as this had dramatically reduced the number of break-ins and vehicle thefts.. Security guards log the number plates of all vehicles entering the suburb, and locals carry ID cards as part of efforts to deter criminal activity.[4]

Sports

The suburb is home to the Macquarie Links International Golf Club. The 6,300-metre, par-72 course was designed by Robin Nelson to complement the area's natural environment.[5]

Development

Development was completed in 2018, comprising 14 stages of houses, 3 stages of villas, and 2 apartment blocks. The community features a large pool, two tennis courts, two BBQ areas, and a Community Centre available for residents' use.[6]
