Gympie Pines Golf Course possesses some really great golfing qualities. The course is naturally undulating which makes each hole interesting and gives you a solid workout if you choose to walk the par 70 course. Bunkers are found around every green and in some cases can be quite imposing. With plenty of recent rain, the course gives you a great surface to pitch your irons and sink those rare birdie putts. However, the big critisism of this course is the lack of signage and information. Without being a local it isn’t easy at times to find the next tee. The 10th especially was hard to find, tucked away behind the clubhouse carpark…Distance markers are also a concern. These markers are only a foot or so high, on one side of the fairway and coloured in a manner that blends into the grass and trees! When the distances of par 3s on the tee signage doesn’t match up with the scorecard, it does leave you a little confused… All in all, the course looks great and gives golfers of all levels a chance to enjoy a round and be challenged by the different characteristics of all 18 holes.

Was not what i expected at all when i pictured Gympie and was quite impressed. Played with the vets on Wed and members comp on Sat as a visitor. All round standard better than some so called resort courses.

Really come on well from what i was told of the history of the place. If you have any sort of infirmity or fitness problem, GET A CART! The hills are alive with the sound of gasping. Great variety in the layout and some holes sneak up on you.

Greens can be pretty fast so practise is in order. Not much parking so come early. And why the vets AND the ladies on the same day? Especially with such a large roll up. Good stuff though. The Relic.

Well after the mixed reviews, we were a little apprehensive about the state of this course………BUT boy were we wrong. What a gem!! OK, so there were 2 temporary greens, however the rest of the course was immaculate.

The staff in the clubhouse and pro shop were fantastic, the members were friendly and very helpful in giving tips AND what a layout. This course has got to have some of the prettiest holes from the tee that we’ve played.

The fairways were great, the greens (on the whole) were good and the overall challenge, excellent. If you want to go and have a really good all round experience, this is the course. The only negative is the lack of signage. 8/10 Paul & Patrick.

Travelled up to Gympie expecting a decent public course. But was surprised at how well manicured the layout was. The holes were hilly but challenging and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would recommend if up near Gympie/Rainbow Beach/Noosa area

We had a good round at Gympie but were inconvenienced by having to use THREE different carts for the first nine holes. All had nearly flat batteries and we had to leave two out on the course and we got PULL buggies for the second nine cause the third cart was ready to stop as well.No staff were available to bring down a replacement which was a bit disappointing but the course was good and we will try again (to get a reasonable SCORE!!!!)

Great course to play it was very forgiving. I am not one to complain but five hours to play 18 holes is too long. We unfortunately got stuck behind a group of six stableford players who with no one in front for as far as the eye could see refused to let us play through. The ignorance and rude attitude of these six players will certainly maintain low member numbers at gympie golf club. The staff in the pro shop said it was just bad luck for us and had to put up with it.

Played here two days ago for $16.95…what a bargain, will definitely be doing it again. Since my last review, this course has undergone a few changes. It is now a par 71, albeit a fairly short one. Bunkers were GUR due to the recent rain/storms, having said that, the rest of the course was in very good nick.

Greens were rolling true and looking real good for the most part. Fairways were quite green and lush due to the recent rain. For the price discount through ISG, this is well worth a visit. This course is very comparable to the average Brisbane club for presentation and challenge but you certainly wont match the green fee down in Brissy. I for one will be back…at this price.

Played October 16th. Course in great condition. New property Development all with Golf Course frontage. What a place to live. Course has been remodelled with a good mix of holes for the average golfer. The new Par 5 13th runs in front of many new Villas and is very strategic with great bunkering.

Turf quality over all is great – a very enjoyable course and great value.

Booked a 1.06 PM tee time on Sunday 20 July 2008 (perfect weather). We enjoyed a beautiful steak sandwhich & a compulsory schoona of beer(1st Tee nerve settler) beforehand.

A million & 1 pubs in Gympie, we chose The Phoenix. Choice old pub on a hilltop within 5 klms from the course. 3RD round of 18 at Gypmpie Pine in last 3 years & again, NO CONGESTION.

Complete freedom with absolutely no hold ups, ample time to line up putts & no pressure on any tee shots. Golfing Heaven! We seen a few groups & a couple of solo players out on the course however, kangaroos were about the only signs of life in our way. This I’m sure contributed to very good rounds.

The course is quite hilly but we need the exercise, who does’nt? The cousre has plenty of character & the greens are O.K. Some greens look like they may be struggling with the recent deluge’s of rain on top of the cold but we managed 29 & 32 putts respectively so that’s saying something for two of Australia’s worst hackers! (not that bad, really). Excellent clubhouse & quick friendly staff service.

I played the front nine yesterday. A well kept course with a good mix of easy and difficult holes. Well pruned fairways and rough and nice greens with plenty of bunkers around the greens to provide more of a challenge if you happen to hit wayward shots. Not hitting the fairway on some of the holes can be quite punishing too.

I wasn’t impressed with the ratio of Par 3’s to Par 5’s, but given they’re still doing work on the course, I’ll overlook that fact.

The staff were very friendly and overall it’s a pleasant place to bash the white ball.

Some of the holes have some serious undulation, so if you’re not very fit or if you’re lazy, I’d highly recommend taking a cart.

PROS

• Friendly Staff
• Nice, consistent greens
• Well maintained course

On course housing development has provided capital for the ongoing viability of the course and some improvements to the course in the form of new bunkering. Unfortunately, the development has also shortened the course with the par 5 2nd reduced to a fairly straightforward par 4 and the par 5 13th also reduced to a par 4, with a pretty ordinary temporary green on the old fairway (although the new green is under construction). The challenging 200m par 3 14th has been removed to make way for housing and replaced by a short par 3 on the old practice range that disrupts the flow of holes and is again pretty ordinary.

PROS

• Reasonable value for money, good greens, difficult to get in too much trouble

Cons

• Shortened par 5s, temporary green on 13th and replacement hole 17th

Over the past few years this course has undergone many changes. Going from a club that was driven to bankrupcy to now being a 70 year old golf course that feels like a quality resort course.

The new owners have pumped money into the course and have changed things for the better. The staff and pro are very friendly.

Played this course in early 2006. To my surprise it was dead quiet! Overall not a bad golf course for a country town. Most greens were in good shape & there's a reasonable mix of 3's, 4's & 5's.

The course is quite hilly, so if you're not in tip top shape, you may want to hire a buggy.

Played it autumn and it was in good nick. Club had some financial trouble over theft but is bouncing back. Up and down course but not too steep. If your half fit you won't need a cart. Suit those who are strong with low/mid irons as a few dog legs that require a bit of strategy. Good greens. Cheap enough and clubhouse good.
