Let’s face it, the world is full of whingers. What is often forgotten when people write these reviews is that not every golf club parallels Augusta National, Pebble Beach or Cypress Point.

If you’re going to fork out $300 for a round, or even $100 for that matter, the course better be damn good. I’ve played courses that have cost me a small fortune and I’ve been disappointed because my high expectations weren’t met. Logan City Country Club cost me $30.

For $30, I expect a challenging course dotted with club members and weekend golfers, friendly staff and a nicely-maintained course. Granted, Logan City is missing the manicured hedges and calligraphied signposts, but it’s also without the pastel-panted Lexus drivers and $8 Coronas.

The course’s 27 holes all present some kind of challenge and on the day we played, the greens rolled true and were in very good condition and the player groupings moved along quite well – a big plus on a Sunday when you have other things to do on the day. The drinks cart was upon us every two holes (which is impressive) and the staff were quite willing to allow us to switch nines at the halfway mark.

Logan City is not a long course and a low handicapper should walk away with an ego boost, however, its many 300m Par Fours contain enough small undulations, doglegs and tricky greens to test anyone. On the down side, the tee off areas were uneven and resembled the rough at times, the fairways needed a mow and a few bunkers may have added some variety. This is where courses like Carbrook and Windaroo (courses that represent the benchmark in SE QLD courses under $40) have it over Logan City.

This course has copped some awful reviews and to be honest, they were all a little unfair. Logan City gave me my most enjoyable round in months and to be frank, I didn’t walk away from there looking like I’d been bushbashing for a month. Heck, I think I still would’ve been allowed into the Hope Island Clubhouse.

This course is an absolute complete waste of time..They should be ashamed to call it a course..It is a large paddock with some miserable greens scattered around.

Be sure to use a set of second hand clubs and most importantly bring a few extra changes of clothes if you are thinking about playing at logan. By calling this course a goat track would be an insult to goats.

Not to bad to start out on, but this course can become pretty tedious quite quickly.

I played a round here the other day. The only think that remotely makes this a golf course is the greens. The tees are basically dirt and the fairways are poorly taken care of. I found the staff members very unwelcoming as being a visitor.

Having just moved to the area, I searched for a club to call my 'local'. I played Mt Warren Park then saw a membership add for this course in the paper - for $850 (approx) you get your membership and a set of custom fitted Wilson clubs. Given my current set will need replacing soon, two birds for less than $900 was worthwhile looking into - so I went for a round. In short i shouldn't have bothered. I got more dirt/sand on me in 18 holes than I would have done if I hit into a bunker on every hole on another course, except this place has no bunkers. Even though I play off 2, most 'suburban' courses offer at least few holes that present a challenge - not this place. A round of 67 off the stick is usually something I rave about for days. On this course though, I was dissapointed with the score given how easy the course is, as much as i was with the course itself. No wonder they offer a free set of clubs with their membership. I'll continue to play Mt Warren Park i think

Just reading jesse91 review And i find it hard to believe that jesse91 is sicking up for this club... Most other clubs around the area dont have dust bowls on there tees, fairyways that is right the only watering logan dose is there greens so the tees dont have a lot off grass on them at all. And for a $27.00 greens fee there is a alot of other couses around the area for around $32.00 where you can get green grass on the firaways and tees. And as for the clubs president meybe he should go and get some golf lessons. And dont for get to say jesse91 that logan has no bunkers that is right no bunkers at all... sorry sorry they have one it is a practice bunker on the chipping green. Like rosskd side "Take plenty off water and your grass mat and a dust mask for your round in the dustbowl 2006."

Logan, despite being a little dry due to the water restrictions (isnâÄôt every course?) is perfect for amateurs, low handicappers, children and ladies. Located just between the coast and inner Brisbane, it provides a challenge to all ages and abilities. The atmosphere at Logan is great, from the pro shop staff through to the bar and kitchen staffs, the experience at Logan is made even better. The juniors are well looked after by the junior co-ordinator as well, I know from experience. Whoever thinks Logan is an âÄòeasyâÄô course, I challenge you to make anything better than a bogie on the 3rd, 5th, 9th or 21st. (thatâÄôs right, Logan has 27 holes). I have also heard on the grape vine that the clubs president got a 12 on the 3rd hole, a par three.

Just played here and it feels like i have been eating dirt for the last 4 hours. No trouble on this course as there is little water and don't take your sandy as there isn't a bunker in sight. One thing you might want to take is a synthetic mat to hit off to save you clubs from damage. Take plenty off water and your grass mat and a dust mask for your round in the dustbowl 2006.

I have been a member at logan for over one year now and for a trip to golf every weekend for practise is just great...

the course doesnt have much water and no bunkers but the layout will test your game...

compared to other courses it is very easy to hit under your average score...

the tee off areas are alright, the fairways are a bit shabby but aroud the green and the green is certainly a well maintained AREA..

so if you want to go for a little muck around game or practise it is great to play at logan..

I am 15 years old and have only just recently become a member of this coure and i am so far very happy with it. despite the fact that there are no bunkers on this coure it is still a very challenging course because of the water traps. Since i became a member here my handicap has improved by 5 strokes. The staff here are very freindly and the drinks cart is very handy. The only bad thing is that alot of groups will not let me pass them when i am playing much faster then them. i think that they are to proud to be passed by a 15 year old. But that isn't the clubs fault. The driving range is also very usefully and i often use it before a round. Overall i am very happy with this course and will continue visiting it for years to come. I aim to play in many of the clubs tournaments and hopefully place well in the.

We as a club have had the pleasure to play and associate with the staff committee and members of the Logan Country Golf Club,and to have found their company very friendly and courteous it is the people who make the club and to play good golf is a bonus,tough course.Keep up the good work people

I played 18 holes on the weekend... 19 to 27 and then 1 to 9. 19 to 27 are quite good although the fairways are very hard... one of the members playing behind me described them laughingly as "concrete". the greens were good though. holes 1 to 9 were much nicer... more lush...

14. bighitter | Rated | 28 Jun 2005 | Add A Review

im a member at this course it is okay but it could be better the fairways are too hard to hit off the greens are probably the best part of the course always looks good. it has always been a easy course.

I have played Logan Golf Course on about 3 different occasions, because of it location and have found the course to be extremely disappointing. On the last occasion I played there it had been raining quite heavily a few weeks before hand and found the course in terrible condition, the fairways were extremely overgrown and unmown and the state of some of the greens was atrocious, namely the 10th which had barren spots and all sorts of debris on it. Another thing I found was how unfriendly some of the players were when I was playing on my own and they were in groups, not one of them offered to let me play through, I think they could show some courtesy to other users. I believe with the standard of this course being what it is, that it is overpriced when comparing it with other courses in the same price bracket such as Windaroo lake and the Gold Coast Country club. Overall the course itself is not that bad, just the maintenance leaves a little to be desired.

Overall I'd have to say this course is quite pleasant - the lack of sandbunkers does not mean the holes are easy. Some good water placement and lengthy holes means some shots still require your utmost attention.

The club staff are friendly and helpful and the food and drink are well priced and enjoyable.

All 27 holes are quite playable - the back 9 being slightly more difficult than the first 18.

If I had to make a negative comment I'd have to say that some of the members (and non members I suppose) are a little lacking in golf ettiquette. I am a member of this club and even though it hasn't happened too much lately on occasion I'll have pairs of players not let me through when I am hitting the shots better than they are and on my own. So it is not so much a fault of the club, more just a bit of ignorance amongst some of it's players.

Sunday afternoons and midweek are the quieter times to play too.

This is a great course for the beginner, not to challenging but alot of vaariounce in difficulties from hole to hole. The middle nine and front nine best and the back nine well if it wasn't there nobody would miss it!

If you handicap is over a hundred your right at home here. With no bunkers at all you have aa sweet aproach to every flag.

I'm sorry but I can't quite agree with the current reviews, I found the course to be very boring no character, staff to be very rude and quite frankly green fees very over priced.

I wouldn't say one of the best in Brisbane but everyones entitled to there opinion, do try and see for yourself.

I thorougly enjoy playing at Logan City, not just for the golf but the atmosphere of the place as well. From the Pro shop staff to the bar and kitchen staff they all make the experience more enjoyable. As for the course well everyhole is a challenge. So much factors to contend with. Water spread through out, trees in just the right place to frustrate you and later in the day the wind to contend with. Can't say much more than that. Play it to believe it...

The Logan City Golf Course is a fairly open course, but this is set to change over the next few years with a lot of small trees and shrubs being planted all over the course. You have 10 of the 27 holes running along side the Logan River, plus another 12 holes that have water, either a creek running along side of them or to cross. So open as it may be, it is still a challenge to play. You will also find the greens to be amongst the best in Brisbane.
