Robina Woods Golf Club

Gold Coast, QLD | User Rating: Rate-4 (4.0) | Add A Review

Robina Woods Golf Course opened in January of 1990. Designed by Graham Marsh & Ross Watson, this course presents a truly unique golfing experience as it has been carved out of the original woodlands, making every hole a unique challenge for any accomplished golfer.

Carved out of 65 hectares of native woodlands, with fairways lined by towering gum trees, this unique layout is unlike any resort course on the Gold Coast. Possessing maturity well beyond its years, Robina Woods has rapidly developed a reputation as one of Queensland’s best-loved resort courses.

Consistently ranked in the top 25 resort courses in the country, Robina Woods is a 6078 meter, 18 hole, Par 71 championship golf course, designed by the Marsh / Watson team.

The rolling fairways, manicured greens, and towering eucalyptus are strikingly beautiful and blend harmoniously with the surrounding residential development. A natural water-course featuring lakes, ponds, creeks and native wildlife completes a rare golf course environment.

The facility features a fleet of electric carts, two tennis courts, driving range with sun protection cover and practice facilities, golf shop fully stocked with the latest equipment & merchandise, a club bar & bistro which includes alfresco dining on the terrace, as well as the Fairway and the Lakeview function rooms.

Played on Saturday the 27th of June. Due to the amount of rain last week, carts not allowed off the paths. Only played the course once a few years ago in a ambrose so we where keen to play it single. A great layout with 4 wonderful finishing holes. I loved the 15th which is a dog leg left around a lake with a small landing area and OB long and right.

Played on 15th June so the course was wet and carts on paths for some holes. As a group who have played here 8 times now we knew what is was like so thats why we come back. The play was slow and the usual Marshall was not around. Excellent course, great test of golf and will be back again.

Played June 09 – What a great course! Although the course was wet from the recent rain (no carts on fairways – path only)it was fantastic. Each hole is unique, while reasonably tight, not absurdly hard. The 17th down the hill (with the wind blowing)is one of the best golf holes in Qld.

We had never palyed at Robina Woods before so took a 1pm tee time for a reduced price. Carts on path only due to previous days of rain, the course is interesting but it was quite wet in a few areas of the fairway.

I shot 9 over on the front (stoked) as I was able to keep the ball in the middle of the fairway but hubby said its too narrow for him. I would have liked to see what I would have scored on the back nine as it looked very challenging.

We only played to the 14 hole due to it getting dark. We thought there were either too many players out ( and there were penty of groups behind us) or slow play, no marshall out too speed things up.

Hope the Colonial proves play to be faster.

Unfortunately due to slow play we were only able to play 9 holes before sunset. Groups of 5&6 in front of us was very disappointing.

Excellent golf course. Really nice setting. Challenging lay out. Great greens. Only a couple of slightly boring holes.
I would definitely play there again if given the chance.

Good morning,this was my first game at Robina Woods. Unfortunately we only got to play 8 holes before the heavens opened up and we had to abandon play. We were so dissapointed not to play the rest of the course. I was really enjoying the course with some difficult chalanges and fast greens with a real tropical feel on some holes. Will have to go back and experience the 10 holes we missed out on. Looking forward to it. The staff were excellent.

9. craig78 | Rated | 01 May 2009 | Add A Review

Course was excellent, but BEWARE it took us 3 & 1/2 Hours to play 14 holes. It was dark at 5:30pm so we did not finish our round. Need to tee off before 1pm if you have any chance. Too many people on the course means you have to wait at least 10 mins at each tee.

10. lopabejec | Rated | 27 Apr 2009 | Add A Review

The course was great, pity the electric carts did’t last the entire 18 holes. When we tried to get replacement carts nothing was done. Bit of a shame that our lasting memory of the day will be pushing the carts up hill frantically tring to fit in the remaining few holes before dark.

11. drikophec | Rated | 21 Apr 2009 | Add A Review

Staff,course,service,cart were all A1. Simple.
Maybe just one thing- signs or similar telling foursomes to waive thru a single player rather than make them wait for 4 people to tee off.

12. drowrinas | Rated | 21 Apr 2009 | Add A Review

great course love the set up cant wait to play again. Front nine is a little better than the back nine but in saying that 16 and 17 were my two favourite holes. helpful staff made for a good day.

Played this course on Saturday 22nd Nov, 2008. I love the layout of this course. Parts of the course remind me of Bonville. ANother thing that reminded me of Bonville were the greens. Slick and fast but they deffinately putted true. Outside of 110m from the greens you had no chances of landing on the green and stoping it on the green. Which is part of why I like this course. This particular day the course had recieved over 250mm of rain in the last week so obviously the Bunkers were out of play and it was prefered lie through the green. However I know someone who played their the very next day and they said a couple of bunkers were out of play but the rest were open and no prefered lie. So I think that shows that the course is well drained and also very well maintained. I love the course and will go back again.

Played Robina over the week end, in a word MINT. Greens were quick, fairways looked liked Augusta, couldn’t fault a thing. First game there in over 2 years & i must say the best conditioned course on the coast at present. After all the wraps it’s been getting of late it certainly lived up to expectation! I’LL BE BACK.

18. Shane01 | Rated | 18 Sep 2008 | Add A Review

Played Robina Woods today. An enjoyable test of golf. Not a monster by any stretch but position is paramount on most holes which are fairly tight.

Condition of the course was very good. Greens were excellent. Tees and Fairways very good. Keep the ball in play and you will score well around here as it is not overly long. However if you are spraying the ball off the tee or with your approach shots, there are plenty of hazards to accumulate your score.

My biggest criticism was the fact that there are a few holes that are blind from the tee where you run out of fairway with a water hazard running through the middle of the fairway. Very frustrating to hit a good drive right down the centre of the fairway only to find that you have run out of fairway and are in the water. The only other criticism that I had was the fact that there are no par 5’s between the 3rd hole and the 16th.

Overall however an enjoyable course and round. Looking forward to playing there again.

Played Robina Woods today 4/06/08. Gold Coast is just getting over some heavy rain. The course was in great condition, greens were a little slow, but fairways at tight and makes you think if you should take out the driver or not on some holes. Play was a little slow but the 18th hole was worth the wait. Great finishing hole.

Just returned from the Gold Coast where they’ve had huge amounts of rain, I was lucky enough to get on at Robina Woods to play in between down pours and I can say it was awesome considering the conditions. Very green and very challenging – look forward to returning when it’s dry to compare….

21. Karl1 | Rated | 02 Apr 2008 | Add A Review

I played Robina in mid March 08 for the second time and was slightly disapointed. The greens were extremly slow and I found that quite a few of the short par fours were tricked up to the point I hit 7 iron then wedge on one. The last two holes are great but I can’t say I will be back when I revisit the Gold Coast

PROS

  • Its not like the other resort courses in the area
  • Great finishing holes

Cons

  • Slow slow greens
  • Tricked up short par fours

Played over the weekend on a 3 course trip from Sydney (also played the Glades and Hope). Definitely a tight well designed course. Greens were a little on the slow side. A very enjoyable day overall.

PROS

  • A golfers course. Very tight with lots of challenges.

Cons

  • Impossible to find yardage markers. Clubhouse facilies not very nice (lockeroom/shower)

play over easter weekend, the course was in great condition. i really enjoyed it, nearly every hole makes you think and plan. i appreciated the variety of holes. we played royal pines the day before and would much rather play Robina. it is tight in alot of places, and penalises wayward shots more than most courses i have played … but i would rank in my top 5

Played the course in early feb after all the rain so it was nice and lush.I think this is one of the best courses on the coast,with a great layout and some very different holes to the norm (on the coast).If you can avoid the woods of the tee you may still have a tricky shot to an elevated green. Great use of hazards and natural landscapes.Great service and course.

Played in Jan 2008, Great course! Was warned that it is a tough track that makes you think off the tee. Some very tight tree lined dog leg fairways, mixed in with some open driving holes made it a great experience. Great par 5 finishing hole!!

Played robina woods just after all the flooding rain that closed colonial the course we supposed to play that day. The course was tough due to the fact that they had not been able to get the machinary on due to the weather. This is agreat layout tight fairways heavy rough due to no mowing but agreat experience all the same. the greens are quick with plenty of break to keep you on your toes. I will be back to play this course again, cant wait to seehow it plays when they have been able to get it back to prime condition.

At last a Gold Coast golf course that can honestly call itself a Golf Course and not just another “Resort Course” This is without a doubt one of the best golf courses in Qld. The way it winds it’s way through the rain forest up, over and down the many hills and valleys creates some extraudinary views from the elevated tees and the challenges are just as varying. This is a must play course if you are visiting the Gold Coast.

What a great golf course! It has so much variation between the holes with elevated tees, elevated greens, undulations, doglegs well placed hazards & beautiful layout.

This course meanders through a bush & rainforest setting with a many holes not running directly beside another hole. A pretty clubhouse, well equiped pro shop & a very friendly team of staff members as well.

Played here in Nov 07. Obviously a great course – as you would expect from a course of this standard. The pro shop is reasonably priced. Good food too.

Very scenic, set in a forest. Nice layout, with rough that won’t devour your ball, and not much water. So you shouldn’t lose too many balls.

One problem: very few distance markers on the course. How difficult is it to put distances on sprinkler heads? The only marker on most holes was the 150m stake, so most of the time was spent guessing what the distance was.

Played Robina Woods Oct 2006. What a fantastic course. You wouldn't believe your in the middle of the Gold Coast, with most holes surrounded in trees.

Fairways were lush, greens were in great shape. Excellent service and clubhouse.

The last 2 holes are absolute crackers. Nothing better than looking down the 18th to the clubhouse.

Do yourself a favour and have a round!

For an area that has more resort courses than you can poke a stick at, this is superb. Where it is not quite as good in the manicuring as the resort courses (it is still very good in that department), it more than makes up for in the course design. Instead of playing at the one elevation like a resort course, you are treated to many tee and green elevation changes which make the experience 3 dimensional instead of 2 dimensional. Fantastic!

34. mabeyk | Rated | 05 Jul 2006 | Add A Review

Played Robina Woods in April 06 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The front nine wound its way through many interesting holes that from the back tees made for some very fantastic driving holes. The back nine started rather tamely but finished with a crescendo with two fantastic finishing holes in the par 17th all down hill to a narrow green and the 18th Par 5 that just sits there and says âÄúbring it onâÄ?. All in all a great experience and apart from the triple bogey on the last where I tried to go for the green in two and failed spectacularly I thought the course was an excellent lay out and in very good condition.

What a joy to play a golf course that wasn't just another "man-made" / flat / boring sculptured resort style golf course!

Robina Woods from the service at the golf shop to the cleansing beer in the bar afterwards lived up to its ranking one of the Top 25 Resort Golf Courses in Australia - certainly worthy of having hosted the Australian TPC some years back.

The front 9 wound its way through natural bushland with sloping greens testing all the shapes in the bag, while the back 9 was open at first then closed in to feature some spectacular elevated tee-shots and before the closing Par 5 18th played back towards their signature clubhouse.

I'll certainly be back next time I'm on the Golden "Golf" Coast...

Played at Robina Woods last week. Like all courses on the Gold Coast, I recommend early morning tee offs to avoid the crowds and the weather. Great set of holes to open the front nine. Good challenge for a high teens handicapper like myself, but was an enjoyable round all the same. Probably one of the better value golf rounds in the area.

37. | Rated | 13 Jan 2004 | Add A Review

A lot of people rave about Robina Woods. It's been a couple of years since I played it, but my memory of it was that I was a little disappointed, and feel there are a number of courses on the Gold Coast comfortably better than Robina.

The front nine is pretty, winding through the forest, but I found the green conditions less than ideal. The back nine is, other than the eighteenth, quite uninspiring, and I thought no different from an average parkland member's course.

It's certainly worthwhile a game at Robina if you are on a golf trip, but becalm your expectations and you'll enjoy it more. And if you've only got one day to play, I'd look elsewhere...

No trip to the Gold Coast would be complete without a game at Robina Woods. It is a course of 2 different nines. I just loved the way the front nine winds among the timber using the natural lay of the land to shape the holes.

The back nine starts a little more open and you encouter a bit of water before 2 great finishing holes. A down hill Par 3 and a great par 5. Watch out for the bunkers to catch your drive at the base of the hill.

It was great to enjoy a beer and watch the rest of the group come down 18. One the prettiest sights looking back up 18 you will encounter. I loved it.
