Challanging Layout, lots of danger either side of most fairways. Must plot your way around if you intend to shot a good score. Layout and challanging nature of the course rated well. However the course lacked complete polish. The course presentation really detracted from the experience. Bare areas everywhere, mud puddles, long unkeep grass in play areas. The course obviously has budget retrictions. Still enjoyed experience however the presentation of the course detracted from the experience.

Fairly tight course and is tricky, you must be able to hit straight otherwise you could lose soem balls. Back 9 less so but really great day out, found the members really friendly and drank with them until after 5pm.

Nice course with some holes that need to be thought about before playing. 1st 3 holes provide a challenge.
Overall good to play.

Helensvale was a pleasing course, some tricky holes and as a first time player the lack of information – no mud map on scorecard – was a challenge. The courese was in good condition appart from thelack of good sand cover in the bunkers. Clubhouse staff were helpful and friendly. Overall you get what you pay for if you want more go somewhere else, if you want a reasonable priced practice course this is it.

Nice course, a bit wet and has water hazards on nearly every hole. Not a long course but tricky if you tend to stray off the fairways. Paid on iseek only to be told that i hadn’t paid for a cart (which was included in the fee on iseek) had to produce my email receipt to prove it at which time was told we don’t get that copy so we don’t know you booked a cart.

Played on a Friday morning. No issues getting a cart and the course was fairly dry considering we had rain the previous day and evening. Course was in reasonable shape and even off the back tees the course is not that long but includes some really interesting holes – 1st and 18th come to mind. Course is easy to walk and would recommend bring along a golf ball scoop retriever if you have one. Clubhouse and facilities looking very tired and unnattractive. Thanks to the friendly guy in the pro-shop who sent us off the 10th instead of the 1st – 3 hour round in the cart.

Normally play better quality courses on the coast but thought with Helensvale being just round the corner, I try again. ( played once, six years ago).
How can I say this nicely ………. I can’t. It is a very poor standard of course, so bad in fact that I will never played it again.

Unfortunately didn’t get to play – We booked with a cart online only to be told upon arriving that all the carts were already booked, apparently this happens all the time! We drove for an hour to get there and I have had a knee operation so I couldn’t walk(sounded a bit like a scam as indications are this has happened a lot??). Wasted 2hrs of our time, fuel, etc… and no compensation – only given a voucher for future use – which I had already paid for!!

Staff:
Very friendly and helpful. Introduced us to the course, ensured we had map cards, and pointed us to the first and tenth tees. They appreciated the phone call to inform that we were running late
Carts:
very smooth running electric carts
Course and greens
Tricky layouts, narrow fairways and numerous water. We enjoyed the challenge but parted with some balls
Value:
About right. We paid $29 each via iseek, incl carts

Played here on Saturday for the first time. My playing partner is a fairly new golfer, so this course was ideal. The course was busy & play was slow but we had no pressure from the other groups, it just seemed to flow. We had a good day & would play here again. I have to mention just how friendly the members are, they were all keen for a chat & made us feel very welcomed.

had to play the composite course par 68. Had a lot of rain the day before and it was spongy underfoot at best. Bunkers unplayable and although a short course in the main there was little run along fairways. Overall I would give it a complete miss in the wet. it would be best to check the courses condition before booking.

We only ended up playing the front nine – as we teed off after 1pm (1.15) – had booked the cart and 18 holes – but was phoned up by the pro shop to say that we couldnt have the cart out after 1pm. Probably more a problem with iseek, than Helensvale GC though. The guy in the proshop gave us a voucher for the cart thoguh to be used when we go there next (if we do) so a thumbs up for customer service. My mate and I didn’t overly like the course though – although it was relatively challenging – it is easy to lose balls on the course if you are not always on the fairway. Not in very good nick all up. We would rate it a 5/10.

I really enjoyed my round at Helensvale today, the course itself needs to be looked after better, but it is a public course after all. The greens were in better shape compared to a weekend, Sunday that I played, it had de ties and branches and leaves all over most greens. But to play virtually uninterrupted on a Friday it was great, I will defintly will come again on a weekday. Staff friendly and helpful.

Played Helensvale on the weekend and really enjoyed the course. The course was a little bit shorter than most, but it made up for its shortness with all the water around the course. A perfect course for a straite hitter. I managed to stray a bit and donated a few balls to the lakes and drains. The fairways and greens were in great condition. I will definitely be playing there again, great value for money.

We enjoyed the afternoons game although it took us a bit of 4hr 30 min which was a bit longer for a short course. The Golf shop was very good and getting cards and buggies very easy. The course was wetter than I thought it should be seeing as we have quite few rain free days of late. Greens were passable.

This is a great little course to hone in on your short game. Some very tight fairways and approaches. The course was in reasonably good condition although a little wet as had rained overnight. Tee off early if you dont want to get held up by members, we played in a foursome at 6am and had no one in front. For the price of $20 a head for golf on a Sunday morning you cant beat it

Helensvale is a very challenging golf course which has water and bunkers for all level of players to manage. I unfortunately found the water too many times to my liking. However I enjoyed my round of golf. It would be nice if groups in front moved faster and were more courteous towards a couple playing or a single person playing to allow them to go through.

On the day we played the Helensvale course it was heavily water logged. The course is challenging with little forgiveness if you miss the fairways. Greens were in reasonable condition also.
Pros:
-Value for money
-Carts are reasonable
-Challenging course
Cons:
-Facilities are out of date
-Lack of distance markers
Overall 7/10

You need some local knowledge to really enjoy this course. Tee shot placement is critical as water, narrow fairways long grass and gum trees lining the fairways and approaches to the green can been a harsh penalty for hiting even a touch off line. The course condition was generally good but needed a mow. Greens were slow, fairways needed a cut and the rough was deep. The biggest frustration for us as first timers was the poor distance markers provided on the course. Unless you are planning to play this course regularly, or have a member with you, be prepared to get frustrated and loose balls even when hitting them well.

The course was quite wet due to recent rain. We were almost 20 minutes late teeing off and had a group of 5 directly in front. At the 3rd hole we could see that in front of the group of 5 was a group of 4 then a group of 6! It was very very slow as a result of these large groups.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. It is a short course – but you must be straight or you can find a lot of trouble. The fairways and greens were in good condition – but the bunkers were poor.
The benefit of playing Helensvale is you get to use your short game a lot and you do not need our driver on every hole.
For the price it is excellent value for money.

Having played this course recently and not classing myself as anything other than a hacker, I was disappointed in this course. I do understand that I played more tree lines then fairways, and that we have had a lot of rain. Therefore fairways and bunkers were more water traps.
However some other things were more disappointing. The lack of fairway markers made club selection difficult. The fairways appeared to not be in the best of condition (despite the rain). Mozzies! wow, never played a game of golf and been bitten by so many mozzies. Unfortunately we paid for 18, left after 9 a bit down.

I was disappointed that the price for 18 holes walking had increased at the same time the greens were undergoing maintenance. Most of the greens were not suitable for putting. However it was not a busy day. Students from the local High School called us through and played and behaved with credit to their teachers and school.

An enjoyable morning on a fairly well laid out course, which has matured nicely. A not very forgiving course meaning you need to be fairly accurate with your shots. A fair amount of water also makes for an interesting day of golf. Would definately play again. Especially at the dicounted rate.

I find Helensvale an enjoyaable experience. All staff are very help ful and friendly. The course is very challenging but if it were too easy it would be menotenous. Course maintenance is great. Always lose many balls but that’s my fault. Need more lessons from Brandon. Like anywhere the members are a mix of really lovely and helpful people and some will not go out of their way to help at all.

A lovely looking course with very forgiving Fairways. There are enough hiden traps (sand and water) to make life interesting, yet enough less challenging approaches to allow a 20 handicapper to achieve 4-5 Par’s, even chipped in 12om for an Eagle – Great Golf for the money.

It is a pleasant and challenging course to play. However, it needs a lot of repair work and upkeeping, particularly the fairways.

Challenging public course with lots of natural water hazards. Many of the holes, particularly on the front nine are daunting when you first play them, but when you know what to expect they become ’challenging’ When played on non competition days I have had no problems with being held up. Do not play for at least a week after heavy rain as the course appears to have been built on a flood plain.

Helensvale is quite a tight layout. With recent heavy rain on the Coast, the course is still suffering the effects of this.The course suffers from poor drainage and several areas on the course were in poor condition due to the use of carts in these wet areas. Had a good deal from iseek but would be disappointed if a full rate was charged with the course in such poor condition.

A nice short layout with demanding small greens. On the day, the condition of the course was mediocre which was probably due to the effects of flooding from consistent rain over the previous weeks.
However it seemed the course couldn’t handle the rain well resulting in large amounts of retained water and mud. My foremost criticism is based on the seemingly poor drainage of the course.
If the course was maintained in better condition and had improved drainage it would be in my opinion a very nice gold course.

We managed to book a round for $10 on a Friday morning on an iseekgolf special. The course was extremely soggy and as we had to walk the 18 holes (for obvious reasons) the going was pretty tough at times. The layout was quite challenging and I’d be interested to play the course again on a dry & sunny day. As it was for $10 you can’t really complain and the challenge even for moderate hitters like myself is when to put the driver in the bag and focus more on accuracy.

Played on 15/5/09. Only played 9 holes (the back nine) but I have to say that despite being a short course both myself and my playing partner really liked it! Quite challenging as the fairways are quite narrow and doglegs force you to think about the shot you’re going to play.
Greens and fairways were good, well maintained course and quite cheap too (payed 15 dollars for 9 holes). I will be back here and might consider joining when my membership at another club expires.

Played the Comp today at the very friendly club. There has been some recent rain and the course still had a number of muddy patches. I would take a guess and say that the course does not drain very well.
The actual layout is great with some fantastic holes and ones that really tests your long iron/hybrid play.
Be warned that if you stray off the fairway you are in some serious rough.
Excellent value for money. My group has played at most [if not all] of the courses on the GC and we would come back and play at Helensvale anytime. The facilities are not the most modern but the staff and proshop make up for it in their great service with a smile.

Helensvale is a very challenging course. The course presents well with nice fast greens and plenty of bunkering. The first hole is a terric Par 5 – not for the faint hearted. Go for the green in two if you are good enough or lay up and still have a water carry for your third. Water comes into play on most holes. This is not a course where driver is used on every hole; lots of thought required to place your tee shot. Accuracy is the key to Helensvale. The general atmosphere in the club is friendly and welcoming and since my last visit many renovations have occurred. Well worth a look.

I have joined helensvale about 3 months ago, and can’t speak highly enough of it. the people there are fantastic, easily the friendliest golf course i’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. fortunately these people seem to have maitained their decency, and everyone is treated as an old friend. a lovely change to the golf snobs who frequent many courses in brisbane. The course is always in good condition, unless there is torrential rain. But if you like your easy, wide open manicured resort courses you wouldn’t like it, because the rough is actually rough. I lost 10 balls in my first round. But now i would not join anywhere else, even if it was offered for free.

I recently decided to play a social round at helensvale and called the proshop to book a tee-time. The person on the phone was very very rude. He barked available tee-times down the line at me and when I requested a specific tee-time he kept shouting "8:15" at me.
I asked him to please not be rude but he totally lost his cool. When I told him his service is ordinary and that I will be telling others about it – his response "You do what you want – have a nice life" and hung up on me… :)
Needless to say I will be spreading the word not to bother even trying to play this goat track.

Having recently joined this Club and having read the reviews, I was keen to check out for myself the validity or otherwise of some of the disparaging remarks by some earlier players. First impressions were warm and satisfying, with office staff and the resident professional, Brandon Coleman, coming across as genuinely friendly and helpful. On to the course for my first game with a fellow "new member". What a surprise, after the aforesaid negative descriptions. Absolutely beautifully-presented greens, healthy fairways, sensible rough and challenges all the way without anything breaking the spirit was what we found. During the course of the outing, we noted the attention that the grounds staff were giving to details of their work. The course superintrendant is obviously doing a great job. At the end of the game, over a refreshing coldie in the clubhouse, my playing partner and I agreed that we had really got lucky in choosing to join Helensvale. I'm taking my first guests in a few days' time and I am certain that they will enjoy it and will want to come back.

After playing this course recently and then reading a few of the below reviews on this course, I feel compelled to respond.
Overall this course is rather short, but the true beauty of this course is that it challenges the mind of every golfer no matter what your skill level is.
The fairways are generally tree lined with many water hazrads, so if you spary the ball be prepared to fight you way out. A good coverage of grass along all fairways is standard throughout, if you miss the fairway (take note jsvheron) you will play from the rough...this is the uncut section outside of the fairway...ok
Greens are generally medium-good size and are of 328 grass, and most holes are all in good condition. The greens vary in shape and undulations, but are on the slow side.
Many people have criticised some of the older members being a pain, this happens at every course around Australia...don't let one bad day ruin a good game of golf and a true perspective of a golf course.
General facilities are in need of upgrading, and I have heard of a considerable amount of money being spent in the near future. Pro shop is on the small side and found the pro to be very pleasent and helpful. Ground staff are very good in giving way to players and always seem to be busy.
If you want to play a course that has all the characteristics of a "Championship Course", go and pay the money for the privelage. But considering the cost of green fees and the challenge that lay ahead of you, it's well worth the outlay. It's not the sort of course where you can bang a driver 250m down each fairway, I found it a nice change to play long irons off the tee and challenge my short game throughout the day.
Overall i would rate it 7/10

This would be the worst course I have played on. The fairways were rough and hardly mown. If you hit your ball off the fairway, expect to spend ages looking for it, as the grass everywhere is about 250 mm high. It looks as if the greenkeepers couldn't be bothered any more.
The greens, though, were quite good. Average size and nice to putt. You'll need to spend time clearing away the leaves, as the greenkeepers couldn't be bothered.
As we teed off on the 12th, a greenkeeper parked his ute next to the tee with radio blaring so loud, we couldn't hear ourselves talking!
The green fees were cheap, but what good is that if you have to spend most of your time looking for your ball (even on some fairways), or trying to hit out of 250mm grass.
The pro shop staff are mediocre, and act as if they're doing you a favour to let you play there! I'll never go back, not even if they paid me!

This is a good course for someone just getting started. It is short but can be challenging, especially with the amount of water around. However, as your game develops and you look for a challenge, it definately isn't what you would be looking for.

I found this course to be great fun, and quite challenging in certain parts, the course always seems to be in satisfactory condition with the staff being very helpful and friendly, the only major grip I have with this course is how inconsiderate some of the older members are. On a number of occasions, I have had players hitting up behind our group and actually hitting one our players in the leg with one of their drives, the sooner the members understand that they do not own the course and that it is after a public course the better off the club will be. I know this is probably a tiny minority of members, but it certainly made a bad impression on myself and my playing partners.

Playing this course was a big disapointment I looks like they have just mapped out a course from some openings of land.
Some of the holes you couldn't chip onto the green properly as the ground was crap. All of the greens were ruff slow and covered in animal poo! It would be nice if they were maintained slightly!
The sand was of the dirty kind!
No map at all of how the course pans out! each hole was a blinder and not having played there before.
I would never go back there as I could play golf to that calliber at the local park with a movable flag.

If it wasnt for slow play and members not letting you play through, it could be an ok course. Very short, when I played it was water logged.

I would agree with greg66, short but challenging course, loved the greens makes for precise and consistant play off the tee and accurate iron shots at the green and you must have a very good short game.
However it's the sort off course that you can attack if your long as well.
My only major complaint would be that I was by myself and for 13 holes the inconsiderate group of elderly gentlleman (I use the term gentleman very loosely) who played in a five would not let me through, I did ask three times if they minded if I could play through but they must of had there hearing aids turned down to low, sorry if this sounds blunt but a bit of respect would be nice as I showed plenty of respect by not hitting up on them at any time.
I'm sorry but I would never go back.
Enough said.
Course I would rate 6/10.

Helensvale Golf club is a short but sometimes tricky course where accuracy takes precedence over distance. The greens are all 328 grass and are large and fairly easy to hit on the fly, but difficult to hold. It can be quite challenging with trouble on both sides of nearly every hole ( there are very few fairways running side by side without a water hazard in between ). The fairways are solid and have good grass coverage with very few bare patches however it has a drainage problem so it stays wet underfoot for a long time after rain. All in all it's a pleasant course to play and can be challenging for those of us who tend to stray from the fairways on occasion.
I give it 7 out of 10.
