(3.0) | Add A Review
Sandy Gallop is an interesting and undulating natural bushland layout. The course itself has recently undergone some major improvements making it now more user friendly and enjoyable to play. The 5400m, par 70 course is traversed by Deebing Creek and offers a good test of golfing skill.
Records indicate Sandy Gallop was the scene of Greg Norman’s first professional victory – the 1976 Coal City Pro-am. The honour board for this event also includes such names as Peter & Jeff Senior and Ian Baker-Finch.
The club is renowned for it’s friendly atmosphere hence being commonly known as “The Friendly Club”. Social players and clubs are welcome weekdays and Sundays at very affordable prices.
The club has licensed bars, full catering facilities and a fully stocked Pro Shop run by PGA Professional Wayne Pickering. Hire equipment is also available.

I have ventured out to the Gallop a few times for both social and comp events. I have found mostly the staff are friendly and the members as well. However bluesteal who is a member out there was denied after requesting a free crunchie after producing a valid wrapper for a free one. The greens are rock hard and almost impossible to fizz the ball. The fairways are hard as well. With alot of rain the course is alot more rewarding. I find it hard to believe iseek have rated the course 3 star on par with the likes of Victoria park and even more so half a star better than Karana Downs. The rating structure in this case needs to be reviewed. All in all good value at $20 a week.
