Local Environmental Conditions
Surrounded by dense Sydney sandstone bushland bordering Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, this course is framed by tall eucalypt forest, banksia and native heath, making it one of the most heavily bush-fringed courses in the Sydney network. Understorey grevillea, banksia and hakea typical of Hawkesbury sandstone country line the fairways, with the adjoining national park bushland representing one of the largest remaining tracts of native vegetation in the Sydney metropolitan area, giving the course an unusually bush-immersed character for a course this close to the city.
Bushland surrounds much of Terrey Hills Golf & Country Club, so tree pollen carries real weight here — eucalypts, casuarina and the occasional birch or plane tree releasing from around August as the native forest wakes from winter. Grass pollen follows the usual citywide script, with ryegrass across fairways and rough climbing toward an October-to-December peak that runs into January. Tucked into the hills north of the harbour, the course can see pollen linger a little longer where tree cover blocks the breeze.

When is pollen season in Sydney?
How often is the Sydney pollen forecast updated?
The Sydney pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Sydney come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Sydney based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Sydney, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
