good course, fairways have large landing areas, although many holes require accurate iron play as not “perfect” shots may find trouble in some very tricky greenside bunkers. greens and not slow and roll extremly true. Pro shop are always very nice and welcoming. All in all very nice day

Overpriced and boring course. $36.00 for 18holes, quiet a rip for what you get. Too confusing, so confusing in fact that you recieve a course map, and even that is difficult to understand. Didnt help either the booking was messed up so got to play the first hole. Then wait 20mins so a two competition groups could play on through, and cause of that didnt get to finish the course due to poor light.

pretty good course, the greens were consistent and green, probably some of the best as far as public courses go. it is a very flat course which makes some holes seem similar and repetitive; a flat lie is almost always found on the fairway which means the course doesn’t really offer any challenges unless hazards come into play. when i played, which was a while ago now, the course looked very dry, this is understandable though because it was during a drought. overall a good golfing experience, if a little uninteresting at times. would give it a 3.5 out of 5

I’ve been a member of this club for a while now and think it’s a solid test. The best part are the greens which are usually in great condition. They were lightening fast during last year’s pro-am. Most holes are fairly straight and the driving areas are forgiving but the course is made tougher by its length (6231m) and winds (which always seem to pop up around lunch time). The club has a relaxed atmosphere and most members are friendly and easy-going. The clubhouse had a recent refurbishment and there’s a nice terrace which overlooks the 18th green. All in all, it’s a great club and not bad value in terms of its membership and social player fees.

Went to the expo yesterday at virginia. Course looked in good condition. A bit flat like other reviews have said but I see the mounds and bunkers added for variety. Spoke to the staff on the putting green and they were very welcoming and helpful. Tried some clubs and had a good day. Will be back in the near future.

Played here yesterday. i have to agree its a very forgiving, dullish course.I would say the greens were in very good condition though.You might get bored getting to the greens but you’ll enjoy putting on them.

I’m a member at another course in Brisbane, and wanted to play Virginia as I was considering moving to a different club. However, after only a few holes I wanted my $22.00 back (nine holes). First up, the staff in the pro-shop weren’t very welcoming. I walk to the tee and while I’m warming up, another group comes along and tee’s off without saying a word to me. I then played the 3 most boring golf holes I’ve ever played (10, 11 & 12). I get to the 13 tee only to find an additional group teeing off that hadn’t played the previous 3 holes. So, rude golfers, unwelcoming staff, & very boring golf. I certainly won’t be back, and now have a new appreciation for my current course.

Played late last year with my social club.

Course is very flat with some boring scenery. Not a difficult course to play.

Overall experience 3/5...

Most times in good condition. Is a bit flat and uninteresting. The social 9 (19-27) is a 2 star.

quite a flat course. suits the accurate iron player.

Whilst a very nice course to play, I found it a little boring. A lot of the holes seem very much alike.

I am a very average golfer and I found it compartively easy to other courses due the lack of rough and no hills. In saying this, the par 3s are great as the sand traps surrounding the greens spell trouble for someone of my standard.

Fairways are in great shape, especially given the lack of rain and the greens are superb. A high quality course that is a easy walk due to there being no hills.

Frankly, other courses are more interesting, but I still enjoyed my round.

This course is very green and lush and is suroiunded by beutiful trees and is a very long, tough track. I would recommend this course to any one.

Im just an average player and dont spend big to play so virgina is great only $20 for student to do the nine twice not sure about the full 18 as i dident play due to alot of players starting when i got there its a well designed course tho on the 9 hole course they need better direction to the tee off because there can be a bit of a walk in between holes more than other course i noticed other than that its a great course tho i felt wierd it is a rich yuppi joint tho i enjoyed it

I have played this course many times and i think it is a great course...it is long, it looks so green and greens are fast it has many large sand traps and water hazards adorn alot of the holes...even the proshop was a charm...it even has a b-e-au-t-ful clubhouse which was a pleasure to have a nice cold beer in. you have 2 play this one

A good tough par 71 challenge. No one hole is the same and it offers a challenging decision on almost every tee. Must be straight off the tee to succeed around here.

Virginia G.C. is a 27 hole complex. It is the course where Greg Norman developed his love of the game by caddying for his mum. All 27 holes are of a parkland style with water coming into play on quite a few of them. The 18 hole course is a reasonable test for all handicaps and is well worth playing if you're in this neck of the woods. For those with less golfing skill, the 9 hole layout might be for you, for it is much shorter(2414m par34) than it's 18 hole counterpart and the beauty about it is, no bookings are required to play, just turn up any day of the week and you'll get a game.
