Great value for money at $30 with a cart. An enjoyable round and very challenging. Lost more balls than ever before. Greens were very fast considering the amount of rain recently and may need more care when it dries up a bit. Club house didn’t have much food available for lunch on the go.

Being the first time using iseekgolf I found the process easy to use and very straight forward but was apprehensive about what would happen at Windaroo proshop on the day, to my surprise I can only say it was again easy and straight forward as well as quicker than what I had anticipated I was out playing golf with my mates surprised how quickly it all happened, they too have never used it but shall be now.
It will be interesting to see if the other proshops from other clubs are the same especially the upmarket courses.

A nice course overall. The fairways and greens were in great condition – especially after the heat Brisbane has been experiencing for a month. The tees however are rather ordinary. Not only are they bare they are actually not level which doesnt help. It would also help if each hole actually had a map on it as some (such as the 17th with the dogleg at about 210) are rather difficult to play without them. There are some really nice holes (16th, snake gully) so it is a pity the course around each hole (cart paths, maps etc) is a little ordinary.

Play early however in order to avoid the log jam of people or you could be in for a loooooong day. Overall though good value for money

Went down to play on Dec 28 2011 as I had never played there before and was considering joining if I liked the place.

The place was BUSY so clearly a good sign. Pro Shop staff were friendly and it was stocked well.

Guys I played with were brilliant and very helpful guiding me around the course and giving me a rundown on the club as a whole.

Loved the course. Variety of Holes, Course in good nick (bunkers being GUR because of rain is why i say "good").

Great test of your golf and a great walk as well. $30 to play in the comp as a visitor and they have just started the "Snake Gully Challenge" as their back marker event.

Also, I decided to become a member here.

Played on the 8th and got away before the log jam kicked in behind us. Course in really good condition except for the bunkers as mentioned by others, half should be GUR.
A little bit of work could take this course to the next level. Great value though for the day!

Very nice layout, friendly staff. For anyone who its their first time at the course it can be a bit confusing where the fairways go, some holes didnt have signs, hole layouts on the cards would have been good. My main gripe is that none of the bunkers had any sand and were rock hard, nearly impossible to play well, should all have been G.U.R. Fix the bunkers and I thinks its a great course..

The greens and fairways are in fairly good condition, read true and good playability.
The only downfall to this course is that alot of tee blocks are domed, very hard to find a level area to tee off from. I think if they fix this, they will have a great course, rather than just a good one.

This is a challenging course with plenty of water hazards to catch your wayward shots, and 90% of pins in protected positions. Given the recent heavy rain it was no surprise to find some bunkers flooded, but overall largely unaffected with greens in particularly good condition. On the down side, a recent growth spurt meant fairways merging with first cut on about half the holes, and many tees are uneven. in addition, I have to be somewhat suspect about yardages from tees (2-3 clubs out on some shots), but this does not detract from fact it’s great value for money.

I played Windaroo for only the second time. My brother in law living here in Brisbane has recently signed up to be a member and while I am here on holidays I will be keeping him company. My home club is the Fleurieu golf course in Mount Compass South Australia which is a links style course. The Windaroo course is a great course and it gave me the impression of a combination of links and the more conventional style having to deal with the trees. The course is in great condition and it is quite a challeging course, which rewards accuracy.

The fairways are in a good condition which rewards you following a good tee shot.

The greens are a challenge, but the pace is consistent around the course, so once you have the pace of the greens, your putts will drop.This was the case for me when playing the second nine (hole 1 to 9).

There are two disappointing aspects of Windaroo. The first is the lack of distance markers. The fig trees at 150 metres are difficult to spot and most sprinkler heads don’t have markings on them. The second disappointing aspect is the poor condition of the bunkers. They are almost like dirt. But I have noticed that these bunkers are being upgraded and those that have been done have nice ’fluffy’ sand in them and are a joy to play out of – eventhough the best would be NOT to be in them in the first place.

I must say that at $22.00 a round this is the best value for money course in the Brisbane area. It was a great experience, and I will definitely play again.In fact I have already booked for tomorrow – Thursday July 28 and will be there again next week.

Played after a bit of a downpour, and considering the conditions the course played very well. Was obviously a bit damp in parts of the rough, but that was expected, however greens and fairways were excellent. Due to the conditions alot of bunkers were GUR. A Tough course with alot of OB. Back 9 was probably the better of the two. Would definitely play again.

Great course. The back nine was the better half of the course but I was very impressed overall. Greens were in great condition and the majority of the fairways were like playing off good quality carpet.

If they can keep the riff raff off the course or better inform them of the proper etiquette or behavior used on a golf course then this golf club could be 10 times better.

Would definitely go back.

Having never played this course, but hearing so much about it from a semi-regular, I thought I would take advantage of the discounted rate.
The course was in fairly good nick, however due to the recent rains, a fair amount of the fairways had deep cart tracks and/or tractor tracks running across them, which made it difficult to play the ball, as well as several bunkers not being used (due to water)
Despite this, the course was enjoyable to play.
Money well spent.

Played Windaroo yesterday for the first time in a couple of years. I remember the course from its golden era over 10 years ago and after surviving a very lean period, it is certainly on its way back! Windaroo has always been one of the most challenging layouts in south-east QLD par 4’s with a premium on placement from the tee and accuracy with the second shot. Really has some holes for the golfing purist and the wind really hurts you on this golf course. Some of the fairways still have a way to go but are still very playable from most points. The greens are some of the most difficult to putt on with very tricky breaks and bermuda grass that has a noticeable "grain effect". The par 3 15th is a real gem (read monster) particularly from the back tees with a nor-easter blowing. Then there is snake gully (the 16th) and without much doubt the most difficult par 4 I have ever played, almost unreachable in 2 for the average player and even the third shot can be a daunting water carry. Once you are on the green the job doesn’t get any easier as there is barely a single square metre that is flat. All in all some fantastic variety that will have you thinking carefully about club selection on every hole, highly recommended!

As always Windaroo is a great layout..a real tester.

The greens were the fastest our social group players had ever encountered…WOW

The BIG letdown is the appalling state of the bunkers..some are clay, some are dirt and some are white sand…Not really what is desirable for a consistant feel during the round.
NONE had been raked..One of the two grumpy guys in the Pro-shop said some kids had run through them the night before.
Here’s a thought…instead of 2 grumpy staff sitting and bitching in the Proshop, one could get off his arse and rake them. It couldn’t be that you were both flat out…if you were, we wouldn’t have seen you videoing each other’s swings out on the course.

Windaroo is a great course but is severley backwards in it’s bunkers.

Yesterday was the first time I’d played at Windaroo in two years and despite having my worst round in a long time (and losing loads of balls in the process!) the course is still in great shape. The greens were perfect and the fairways, despite copping a lot of rain in the week, were great to play off. My only complaint would be the state of the bunkers. For a course that previously hosted the QLD PGA, the bunkers were certainly well short of being acceptable for any class of golfers. In saying that, I shouldn’t really complain about paying $30 for my round (incl. cart). Hope it’s not another two years before we play at Windaroo again and hopefully a much better performance by yours truly!

I played Windaroo for the first time yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the course. I had heard good things about it and the first experience did not disappoint. An interesting routing, good variety, excellent fairways and greens and some challenging and memorable holes all added to the experience. The cost was also very competitive and will definitely see me back there soon.

The only negative for me was the bunkers which ranged from some whiter and deeper than Whitehaven Beach, to others that were no more than sun dried clay pans. I gather the course suffers badly in floods being right on the rive, so I guess understandable from a maintenance point of view, but nevertheless disappointing.

Played today at Windaroo CC and the round took around 4 hours which was pretty good. I had a cart and I found that the fairways were just so bumpy that I couldnt drive the thing properly…EVERY HOLE ! Ide say it was due to the recent flooding so I accepted that. Other than that they were in good nick and I always found myself hitting from a good lie. Bunkers ! well the one bunker I found myself in had been freshly filled with powder white sand and it was great and im presuming they are going to do that to the other 17 holes right ? the bunkers not filled were absolutely terrible, they were rock pits, i can only presume it was again the flooding which caused them to lose all their sand. Greens, looked like they had been well kept but were very slow so needed a mow. Course wasnt overly challenging but enough to keep one on their toes. One of the par 4’s had a double water carry and yep you guessed it, It swallowed one of my callaways. Plenty of water around the course to keep it nice and green and visually very easy on the eye. Proshop staff were very friendly and I left feeling like I wanted to come back and have another round.

played windaroo for the first time today at the iseek reno discount of $26 incl. cart. Great value and an excellent course. greens were good considering that they had been cored a fortnight ago. Fairways were in good nick but if you strayed into the rough off the drive it may be difficult to find your ball as i found out more than once. tricky course first time but enjoyable. Good layout of holes including the famous snake gully 16th. most of us were forced to layup on this challenging hole. Found the bunkers interesting. Dirt bunkers on the fairways were hard with a few stones, no problem. Dirt bunkers around the green were well sieved of rock material and were strangely soft and easy to play, bit of a surprise. Dont see what all the fuss is about. will come back very soon to play this course again at this price.

Fairways & Greens were in beautiful condition. However the bunkers were a disgrace. As other comments have mentioned, while a bunker is a hazard it will give you good value for your shots if you are a decent player. Having a ball bury itself in a drying mudpit in a fairway bunker is not good enough and was an example of a potentially great course let down by poor management. When I came across the 11th hole and discovered there was a properly maintained bunker I spent 5 minutes practicing shots out of there just to enjoy sand. Course would be worth at least 4 stars if the bunkering was to fixed.

I have been a member of Windaroo for many years and continue to be disappointed in the fact that despite the overwhelming number of comments re the poor state of the bunkers that the course "owners" continue to ignore this constant crticisim.
Comments from some "players" that bunkers are hazards and learn to "get over it" show their ignorance of the game.
Yes, bunkers are hazards but all good courses actually put SAND in them.
To the Club Management – start listening to members and visitor feedback re the bunkers. Put some sand along with proper drainage in them, and the course will regain some of it’s former glory.

Pity about the back log of players. We decided to tee off from the 10th as there was a group that finished and left a space, only to make it as far as the green to be pulled up by staff and told to tee off after the 2 groups behind us(who had not even pulled out their drivers yet)or return to the first where we had the pleasure of following 6 boozed up Brits for 4 3/4 hrs. We then were asked to call it a day with 3holes left and 30mins till carts had to be returned.

Enjoyable course to play, presented in great condition. The "dirt" bunkers are a detration from what is a quality course, starting to replace some bunkers with sand.

Hi All,

I’ve played this course a number of times now, and each time I tell myself I won’t play it again… but its close and not overtly expensive.

The course seems reasonably well maintained, the greens are in good condition, the course definatley has character, and its an interesting and relavitley picturesque course (the back nine moreso than the front)

My issue is a small one really, but it really detracts from my enjoyment when I play this course: The mowing is of low quality. I know this sounds strange, but I’ve played on about 8 different courses in the last 8 weeks, and i have to say that each of them were better maintained, and not more expensive. Its the grass clippings. There are always pile of grass clippings left around, in the rough (which unfourtuently I find myself in often) and even on the fairways. This is the first course I have ever lost a ball on the fairway! If the grass clippings were picked up I’d enjoy the course more!

This course would probably suit someone of slightly higher skill level better. If you cant keep it on the fairways, you might have a challenge on your hands! (but I suppose thats what its all about, right?)

If you compare this course in maintenence to somewhere like Oxley, you will understand the amount of improvement possible on a course like this.

I played there on in the comp last week and the course is in good knick. The fairways are beautiful and the greens are challenging. The bunkers are good considering they are classed as hazards! It is just a unique part of the lovely course!

played at windaroo three weeks ago and found it a really good course!
the greens were very challenging but the bunkers need real sand in them not dirt!
over all good course and would play again

I became a member of Windaroo 13 months ago, when I began golf. The course has been very challenging for me in these 13 months, but the course is very rewardig for players who hit a straight ball.
As A junior, Windaroo has provided me with a good start to golf.
Being a member at Windaroo I have lowered my handicap from 26 to 9 in 13 months, it is a great environment for upcoming golfers, with many great personalities to acompany the great course!

Played Windaroo with a group from ISG. yesterday Was impressed by the Quality of the greens & fairways & really like the way the natural undulations of the land have been incorporated into the course layout. Value for money it is unbeatable. 18 holes in a cart for around $50. Can,t beat that. The last 4 holes are a real test of golf , & we were only playing off the white tees.Snake Gully,the 16th hole has a sign naningit as the hardest par4 in Australia. This may no longer be the case but it is still up there.The Pro Shop staff were friendly & vey helpful. In fact the only downside to the day was the fact that at 2pm. there was no food available in the clubhouse. i will definately play there again given the opportunity.

PROS

• The general layout of the course is excellent.

Cons

• The Bunkers require a little work.

Played a round there with a couple of mates, one of whom had this special deal where you pay $220 for 10 games, so we each had a round for $22 which was extremely good value.

The fairways were in real fine condition, luscious almost but some of the bunkers were rock solid hard, my mate even putted out on one it was that hard. The course didn’t play as long off the white tees, so I had numerous birdie chances, which the challenging greens and my suspect putting failed to convert but had a great day and will be back for more

Played Windaroo on Sat 1st Nov 08, was very impressed with the layout of the course. The fairways and tees were in good condition, the greens were good the only thing was the bunkers let the course down a little. Not much sand, under the ball however other bunkers had new sand in them and were very soft to play out of. All round I thought the course was great. It was my first game coming back from a rist injury and I didn’t play great but I had an enjoyable round.

Played Windaroo, and must say that although I like this course, I found it very disappointing. The area that I found the most disappointing was the bunkers, which were really just dirt, and hard compacted dirt at that. The fairways were in quite good condition, but the greens were very slow, it took a big wrap to get the ball to the hole.

There are some very good holes, Snake Gully (16th) is one of the better holes around, with the winding creek through the hole. It has a good blend of par 3 4 and 5s, and it is another course that rewards straight hitiing, but does have some really good rewards for the long hitter prepared to take risks. This is evident in the 6th.

I would play again, but not in a hurry, it is a very good course that has poor conditioning on the greens and bunkers.

Windaroo is an exelent course to play on. It gives some very challenging hole like Snakes Gully, 17th and even Hecks Revenge is a well designed hole. The 10th and 12th are in marvelous condition considering they we under water when the flood came but they have grown back very well. I will mention this to all of my friend and will defenitely recomened this course to others. It was challenging for me but I still managed to get around the course in just under 4 hours. 2 thumbs up this is one of the best courses in Brisbane.

Played the course in Aug 2007. For $33 on the weekend it is outstanding value. The course was designed by Ross Watson and has more than a few memorable holes. The fairways were in great condition. Extremely lush considering the drought. The 15th par 3 over water, 16th snake gully hole and 17th par 4 dog leg right were definitely the highlights.

The greens were a problem. They were nice and green, but the slowest i have ever played on. I have never whacked the ball so hard. It was like playing on thick carpet.

Another problem was the course was definitely overbooked. Took us 4.5hrs walking with 2 people. We had to wait for 2 groups to tee off at each hole.

If the greens and course management were fixed this could be one of the better courses in Bris.

I played Windaroo for the first time on Oz Day, and was extremely impressed. So impressed in fact, I had to go back for a second round two days later.

The fairways are spectacular given the brisbane conditions, these are the best in Brisbane. The Greens re consistant and in great condidtion. The bunkers are mediocrea t best, which is this courses only negative.

Overall a very challenging cousre, keeps you interested the whole time.

I'll be back time and time again for sure.

I played Windaroo for the first time. It is a great course, which is in great condition. It is quite a challeging course, which rewards accuracy.

The fairways are the best I have played in the Brisbane region recently, as we have severe water restrictions, and if you are on the fairways you will have a great lie.

The greens are a challenge, but the pace is consistent around the course, so once you have the pace of the greens, your putts will drop.

There are twoy disappointing aspects of Windaroo. The first is the lack of distance markers. The fig trees at 150 metres are difficult to spot and most sprinkler heads don’t have markings on them. The second disappointing aspect is the poor condition of the bunkers. They are almost like dirt.

I must say that at $33.00 a round this is the best value for money course in the Brisbane area. It was a great experience, and I will definitely play again.

Played windaroo on Ekka show day. Surprising the course was very busy but the course is well spread out to avoid delay. The fairways were better or as good as most others on the coast. The only bad thing I have to say is when your ball finds the rough, dont count on finding it!! The greens mostly read true and there is a good range of holes and facitlities. Would recomend to all!!

I played this course about 4 weeks ago and I must say, I was impressed. The course design is challenging and the overall condition of the fairways and greens was superb. I'm a member of another club in the area, and this course is holding up much better than my home course with the lack of rain Brisbane has been experiencing lately. Nice Bar area, friendly staff and worth the trip. Recommended.

Chewman don't show your ignorance, if you knew what it cost to maintain an average 18th hole golf course, how did you expect top notch condition for $48 per round. Windaroo is not for the high handicap player which you obviously are. The roughs are maintained at a high height to give good definition and character. As far as I know all roughs are mowed every week. Your comments are laughable, maybe you and your mates should go back to playing council courses where you can get a burger and drink with your $10 green fee.

windaroo is the best value gc in brisbane, no doubt. was driving 25 minutes just to play it most sundays, enjoyed it so much i became a member (18 months now). fairways are fantastic, great cover and never a bad lie. greens have come up brilliantly after recent scarifying (an unfortunate but necessary evil). the layout will test ur skills, the sometimes blustery conditions will test ur mettle, but it remains one of the most relaxing courses to walk.

potential to shoot low of the whites, with good course management. some very tempting, teasing and challenging holes from the blues.

i've never had a problem with the rough at the 'roo, does tend to thicken up but the point is to stay out or be penalised with a tough out. on the greens situation, they recently underwent a major scarification, and even though its a source of frustration for members and visitors, its an important and necessary process. always check on the greens situation whenever booking anywhere!

enjoy!

I was just reading Mr chewman review and as a long time member of windaroo i played most days runing up to the easter long weekend and i can tell him that the rough was cut that week and is cut every week. maybe Mr chewman and his group should stay on the fairway.(but that would be hard with 3 first time playes). The greens are just comeing out of Renovations. i played on them today and they are runing good. the fairways are in graet shape. i think that the couse is worth its $30 greenfee..

Maybe it was the fact that it was Easter Friday that the course hadnít seen a lawn mower in the last 5 days or so but our experience with Windaroo Lakes has left a sour taste in our mouths.

Each of the players in our group lost more then 1 ball that was less then 3m off the fairways in the 4î or more of rough. As for the greens, I have putted in torrential rain and the ball goes faster then it did on Friday in dry conditions. The greens had the slow pace and same amount of grass on them as the tees did at Royal Pines!

For the $48 green fee (including cart) I expect more from a supposed top-notch course.

In our group, we had 3 first time players on that course and it was also the last time they will venture to Windaroo Lakes.

I don't wish for this issue to become prolonged, but the responses to my review evidently missed the point/s I was trying to make - my group was moving at very reasonable speed, other groups simply caught up. We followed the local rules, allowed them to play through, and were subsequently caught up in a jam. If we had been shown any kind of respect at all, we would have taken our money and returned at a more convenient date. It's attitudes like the one displayed by the pro shop staff that make newcomers to the game nervous about playing a game already steeped in rules and tradition. As for this overall 'slow play annoys' attitude, even the pros on TV have to wait when the group ahead finds a hazard. For god's sake, isn't part of golf taking in the surroundings while playing the game? If you want things to move at exactly the pace you want, play chess.

The course is privately owned and open to the public. Regarding jtrinder long complaint/review. Slow play is not wanted especially on busy days and I prefer staff having a word to anybody holding things up.

The course condition has improved over the last 2 years. The greens are well maintained and medium speed. The layout is well liked by many golfers but is not easy for unskilled players.

98. jtrinder | Rated | 11 Jul 2005 | Add A Review

You might look at my rating and wonder why it's so much lower than how others have rated it, so let me clear up the confusion now - my problem exists not with the beautiful course, but with staff whose behaviour bordered close to harrassment.

To cut a long story down to the big details, myself and two friends had booked in a social game on a Friday morning. We arrived on time and teed off. After three holes, we noticed a group of three right behind us. Bearing in mind that one of the local rules says to let faster players through, we let them pass. This was a good move - all three were long and straight off the tee.

We let one other fast group through when four players in carts turned up right behind us on the 5th tee. Thinking that because they were on carts they too would have a speed advantage, we resolved to let this group through too. We decided that this would have to be the last group we let play through. As it turned out, this group of 4 were of about the standard as our group, and the carts didn't help their progress much.

On the 6th tee, two course rangers in a cart showed up to speak to the cart players ahead of us. They then approached us, inquiring as to how many groups we'd let play through. After answering, one of them stated that every time we let a group through, it was causing pile-ups further back, and that this could prove disastrous for the corporate day they had planned.

This bald gentleman was obviously annoyed, so I tried to explain our reasoning to him so at least he could understand how the situation had developed. Rather than take on board our explanation, this gentleman declared that he had been 'playing the game for 10 years' and that 'I think I know what I'm talking about'. He obviously decided to treat our explanation as an argument when all we were trying to do was placate him. At this point, his younger, smirking, long-haired assistent declared that it would take us '6 hrs to have a round of golf', as if that's something unheard of.

We pressed on. As we waited on the 10th tee for the cart players ahead to move on, he approached again, this time inquiring as to why we weren't 'hitting up their @!#$*'. My friend explained that we didn't wish to hit right on top of them. At this point, the bald gentleman declared that the day was becoming a 'disaster', and that he was prepared to give us a full refund in exchange for leaving the course - in his tone of voice and demeanour, he was doing everything bar telling us to piss off.

I was ready to take his offer at that point, but my friends weren't, so we pressed on again. We became aware of the quality of 'corporate' player behind us - beers in hand while driving carts, taking mulligans whenever they felt the need, and seemingly not putting. Later on, my friends narrowly avoided being hit on the full without so much as a call of fore.

So at this point, what else can I say? The course was beautiful, but how can you enjoy it under those circumstances? We were only trying to do the right thing as visitors to the course from Toowoomba. If the danger of hold-ups was that great, we never should have been allowed to get on. We aren't great golfers, but we move at fair speed.

When I pay for a round of golf, I pay for the complete experience, not just the course. I don't pay to be treated like someone that doesn't deserve to be there. That's bad etiquette. That's unacceptable. That's the end of my golfing days at Windaroo Lakes.

This course is a wonderful layout and very enjoyable golfing experience. Snakes Gully is a fantastic hole and very challenging. The course itself is in great condition and has numerous holes which will test even the best players. Truly a championship calibre course, I will return and have no problem recommending it to others in the future.

Like Gringo, I have been an on and off member of Windaroo Lakes Golf Club for many years. I first started playing there when it was nine holes.

I concur with Gringo when I say it's a course that if not the best in south east queensalnd, it is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of playing, with every hole offering it's own unique challenge. It's also one of the best laid out courses I have ever seen or played in, Australia OR the United States.

I find it slightly confusing, where 'dtrain' considers the fairways are a bit short on grass giving less than favourable lies where you should have good ones, and 'apholden' thought the grass a bit long which took distance off his drives.

Personally, since renewing my membership earlier this year, I have found the course to be in great condition considering we are in drought, and equal to any of the more expensive courses in S.E.Q. with fairways having good grass cover allowing full connection with the ball with driver, fairway wood and irons.

A dissapointment is in some of the sand traps which play unfairly, due to insufficient sand to enable one to get under the ball to excute a satisfactory result.

WINDAROO: A GREAT Course in outstanding condition. A challenging course that will test all levels of players, with the par 4 Snakes Gully testing even the "big hitters", and according to a recent visitor from the north side of Brisbane, "an unknown gem which is reasonably priced".

I have been on and off a member at Windaroo for 10 years now and have seen it go through some changes. As former Home of the Qld open it was in my opinion one of the best courses in Qld and certainly the best value. Unfortunatly It was neglected for a few years but with new owners for the last year or so it's is starting to improve.

Windaroo has on of the best layouts in Golf and from the back markers can be an absolute nightmare, expecialy if the wind is blowing. This course will chalange every part of your game untill you get to Snake Gully(16-Hardest par4 in Australia) where it will destroy you. Overall Very good course even slightly out of condition it's still one of the best golf courses in Brisbane and has one of the best layouts in golf. Highly recomended and unbeatable value for this championship giant.

Any course that has hosted Qld Opens is deserved of a try. This course is very good because of that reason. Any budding golfer who wants to test themselves should try this course. It was set up for pro's and it will give you an honest indication of where your game is. Play it off the championship makers and it is quite a challenge. I found birdies hard to come by and only managed 2 but there are genuine chances to get some. The fairways are getting a bit short on grass and give you some less than favourable lies when you should have a good one. It's a beautiful course to look at and is well laid out. Some of the holes are the best I've played. From memory the par 3 14th (?) plays over water and looks magnificent. Then comes the hardest hole I've played the par 4 15th (?). This hole plays long and has an elevated tee. It was the first time I've ever had to lay up to a par 4 on my second shot and that will humble you. But it also inspires you to improve your game. All in all a very good course that just needs a bit of attention to the fairways to make it awesome. If I lived in Brisbane I'd be a member here. And all this for $25 green fee.

For a course I hadn't heard of a few months ago, I was very surprised at how good this course was. The course was in very good condition, and I found it tough to play, especially with the wind blowing (The wind always seemed to be blowing either across or into us, never from behind :( ).

I was also impressed by the course having a drinks cart doing the rounds during Sunday social golf. (I thought they only still did this at resort courses).

My only grumble would be, is that I thought the fairway grass was a bit long, which took distance off the drives and made the course play too long.

Although the course well and truly defeated me on the day, it was still an enjoyable round.

I have been a member at Windaroo for approx 7 years and in that time I have seen it host the Qld Open and also fall into disarray.

However with new owners, new ground staff and a some (very) new fairways the course is starting to look beautiful again. As always never easy and always a challenge especially when the wind starts to blow.
