This course is beautiful, peaceful, friendly and challenging. It has always been a favourite of mine over the past 20 years. Hubby and I drove down 2 days in a row from Coolangatta during all the wonderful Gold Coast rain after Christmas. We were given reduced rates as it was tee up on all holes but we were still allowed a cart on paths. The staff are very friendly and the course although wet was in great condition. I still think it’s well worth the trip to play and stay and now the new highway is in it took 35 minutes to get there.

Play this course on the Blue Marker Challenge, held on the last Friday of every month, when it is set up at it’s most difficult (CCR 75). It is long, with (lots of) water on almost every hole and the pin placements must be seen to be believed – a real golf challenge, although good putters have an advantage. A couple of classic par 3’s, the 8th and 12th with 140+ metre water carries which can be very difficult when a strong wind blows from the NE. A couple of very long par 5’s, the 9th and the 14th which mean at least 3 wood shorts for the shorter hitters; the 9th in particular is a classic, uphill all the way and with a huge green sloping back to front which is lethally fast for over-ambitious putters, I’ve seen quite a few roll off the green putting down the hill! Play to your handicap here and you get a dozen balls, doesn’t happen often.

Worth the drive from the Gold Coast or Brisbane? Can be walked but it is a long journey from green to following tee so if it's hot, a cart is the way to go. Wide fairways and absolutely enormous greens (tif dwarf) are the rule so take your best putting along. ... Show

Worth the drive from the Gold Coast or Brisbane? Can be walked but it is a long journey from green to following tee so if it's hot, a cart is the way to go.

Wide fairways and absolutely enormous greens (tif dwarf) are the rule so take your best putting along. Apart from the 1st most of the 5`s are genuine 3 shotters dependent on wind of course. Best hole IMHO is the par 3 12th 180mtr plus water carry with bail out to left. Rest of course fairly unremarkable.

Length and water are the course`s main and repeating signatures, housing is intrusive and just plain nasty in some parts. Cheapish green fees make it value but below par condition and greenkeeping IMHO hurt this course more as time goes by.
