Played in December 11. I have always liked Gailes but hadn’t played it for many years. It was good to return. Course was in wonderful condition. It has a good variety of holes to keep things interesting. The fairways were perfect, the greens were a good speed and ran true, and the bunkers were unbelievably fluffy (I think they have been reconditioning them).

Great place to play golf.

Excellant course with an interesting layout. Fairways and Greens were in excellant condition although Greens were a little on the slow side.

This really is a gem of a course. The fairways are always kept in mint condition and it most certainly reminds me of courses in the UK.
However, the club itself was not welcoming and the clubhouse should look at improving its lunch menue.

PROS

• - fairways

Often play this course as part of my social clubs competition, personally, I dislike the 2nd hole as I believe it gives lady golfers a very unfair advantage, guys tee over a water hazzard to an impossible up hill fairway that also slopes to the right. Very difficult hole which gives the gals a much easier set of playing options. Otherwise, this course always impresses.

Course itself is great. Staff are very rude. Been there a few times but last time the girl in the pro shop was extemely rude and epitomized gen y, making me feel like I was rudely disturbing her socialising time on Twitter or facebook or something. Paid top $$ for a cart only to have it nearly die on the second fairway. Asked for a replacement only to be told there wasn’t a single charged cart. 6 holes later we are being towed by a fully charged public cart. Hmmmm. No apology or offer to refund money. Just dirty looks for annoying them with this hassle. What happened to friendly service?

PROS

• Well maintained
• Love the kangaroos

Cons

• Rude, arrogant staff.

i have to agree with maverick1. this is probably one of the most underated and suprising courses i have ever played on. i played 18 here a couple of months ago in comp. something that you will find here is that if you are on your game you will shoot a very nice score and if not i believe you will be in for a bit of ball hunting in the various tall trees at gailes. one thing that lets this course down a bit is its practice facilities. its driving range is about 50m short of what it should be and you have to use your own balls! i believe if you live within 15-20 mins of gailes you should definately give it a go.

This has to one of the most under-rated golf courses in Brisbane.
Always challenging yet equally rewarding.
Ground staff do a great job maintaining the fairways and greens alike.
I Play here every second week as a social golfer and have never been made to feel unwelcome. This course is in fantastic Nic and would recommend it to anyone.
Not much water but make sure your on the money or your bound for deep sand or tall trees!

Played in a saturday stroke event and it was a challenge off the back markers. I didn’t have a good game but not because of the course, I just played crap!

I like the layout and the greens, fast and unforgiving on solid putts. Maybe they went a little overboard with bunkers around the greens as anything short, long, left or right gets sandy.

My main concern was the 5 HOURS it took to get around! To be honest all the courses that have the "double tee times" of the 1st and 10th have this issue with extremely slow rounds even though they allow a break in the middle (10am-12am) to let the flow through…IT DOESN’T WORK.

Just let there be one starting hole for the whole day…not just aimed at Gailes.

Apart from this it was a great day and the kangaroos were very friendly!

Gailes is a great course for the intermediate and onward players as it requires some precice shots and some need alot of elevation as of the hilly terrain. i recomend a cart for this course im 21 and walked it was pretty tired after. great greens and staff highly recomended

14. ego2468 | Rated | 03 Feb 2009 | Add A Review

Not a bad course and we had a good round but every time that I go to this course they have overbooked it.

We were booked to tee off at 7.30 and didnt get onto the first till 8.15. The rest of the day went so slow we didnt finish our round until 1.30.

Its happend numerous times to me and I am afraid that was the last straw.

I wont be back

I have played at Gailes a few times, and have never been excited in coming back. It is not a bad course, offering length and general good course condition but for some reason lacks something. I find it about dull and abit disinteresting. Quite of few of the par 4’s are sharpish doglegs and require a good drive to post a good score. Scoring must be done early as the first 2 holes are par 5, which are not terribly difficult. (Watch out not a hit a kangaroo). It is not a bad course nor a fantasic course. I never come back with extremly high expectations.

16. Drgribuls | Rated | 20 Aug 2008 | Add A Review

Not a bad little track. I don’t recall seeing much water around the place. The biggest thing for me was that when i arrived the course looked like it was jam packed into a small area, and i expected the worst. however once i got out there i found it quite entertaining. I quite like the blind tee shot on the first hole. Lots of kangas around! i did find it odd though that there is a practice fairway in the middle of the course.

Really like Gailes and would consider membership if I lived on that side of town. Greens were a bit disappointing when I played there early April but previously have been pretty good. Nice variety of holes. The 9th and 18th with fairways narrowing toward the green with overhanging trees on each side of the fairway are nice finishing holes I reckon.

18. BuggeraCup | Rated | 18 Jan 2008 | Add A Review

Gailes is a great members course. Due to access to reclaimed water the course is always in great nick even throughout the drought. Try to get off to a good start with two par 5’s and a driveable par 4 in the first four holes. The course is tree lined and not overly long with the main defence being the green side bunkering. All up this is probably the best value course in Brisbane.

19. Jonno | Rated | 14 Jan 2008 | Add A Review

This is a very good value for money deal. A lot of the courses around Brisbane will charge you well over $50 on the weekends for a round and cart. Some tough holes early and a lot of doglegs. Very enjoyable course and heaps of wildlife to view on the way around.

Gailes is good course, and recent solid rain has improved the course markedly with the fairway offering great lies and the greens in good condition. There are a large amount of bunkers ranging from fairway bunkers to massive creaters around the short 3rd Par 3….all in all I love this course and regularly play there on Friday lunch times!!!

Although I personaly find it a little short….but in saying that I have only played off the social tees so comp marker may make it a little better in that area.

I have also heard rumours that Galies Golf Course is going to be redeveloped closer to the Brisbane river with the majority of holes be re done around that area at a cost of 1 Million dollars a hole so hopefully they can add a bit of length to the course and really make it one of Brisbane best course’s

Gailes is a suprisingly good golf course. Everything was in good condition – in the drought. The greens were easy to read and the fairways were nice and green. All in all a pleasure to play – I’ll be back.

22. brownie19 | Rated | 03 Dec 2007 | Add A Review

Gailes is a good suburban golf course. The fairways always seem so green (I drive past everyday) and they are. The layout is good with plenty of interesting holes. There is an abundance of kangaroos throughout the course so not only are you trying to hit it on the fairway, but miss these guys.

Cons would have to be location. Right next to the Ipswich motorway and train line.

This course may not last with the motoway upgrade which would be a shame for Brisbane.

23. Golf4life | Rated | 26 Sep 2007 | Add A Review

Gailes is a decent course, though it is nothing special in my eyes. I find the course a tad boring. There are too many doglegs, when a driver can go right through them. It is an old course which has not been modified overtime to resemble newer courses around.

24. DrDrift | Rated | 18 Jan 2007 | Add A Review

Played at Gailes regularly and the course condition is not too bad, considering that they are constantly upgrading and repairing.

A lot of wild life (Kangaroos) in that place.

Fairway - Good condition if you are hit over 100m from the tee otherwise it is like a dirt track. Not much trouble in that place, heaps of trees but rarely OOB.

Bunkers - A little disappointing, very hard, plenty of barks, leaves, branches, and even stones in some.

Green - Average to good condition. Sloppy greens can be very challenging.

Favourite holes

#3 Par 3 155m

#4 Par 4 232m Straight (Eagle opportunity)

#12 Par 3 119m elevated green, bunkers front, left & right.

#13 Par 4 327m dog leg right

Longest Par 5 - #9 493m (white marker)

Shorest Par 3 - #12 119m (white marker)

6023m Par 73

Overall -4 stars

The good players should be looking for a good start here, ie 3 under after 4. One can score well here on the par 5s, all of which are reachable. With a bit better bunkering and contouring/slopes around the greens it has the potential to be a really good course. Still solid, though.

Gailes Golf Course was a very pleasant golfing experience. The course is quite long with a number of holes that require more than driver and wedge. The par 5’s require at least two woods. Scoring is difficult, especially for a player who hasn’t played the course before.

The course is in reasonably good condition for an area hit with severe water shortages and the greens are in great shape. The course has a number of elevation changes and requires many different shot shapes. There is quite of mix of hole types. The fairways are reasonably tight, but the area on the fringes of the fairway are generally quite forgiving areas to approach the green.

The staff all seem very pleasant, and pace of play was quite good, even for a Sunday morning. I definitely will play this course again.

This track will test all facets of your game. There is a good variety of holes that require shaping the ball both ways.

The greens are extremely grainy and difficult to read. You will miss a lot of putts here so hit it close if you want to go low.

On this course you need to do your scoring early. A couple of Par 5's and then a shortish par 4 will allow you to get it going before you hit the back nine with the difficult 10th hole up there with any of the tough Par 4's in Brisbane.

The website has a great "hole by hole" preview for those that have not played the course before.

this is one of the best public courses i have played at with a low green fee. easy par 4's and 3's but it is all good.

30. hackeroff4 | Rated | 04 Feb 2005 | Add A Review

Except for the sometimes brutal hills early in the round the course is very nice and having played here often usually in good condition.

Can be murdered by anyone that hit the ball a decent distance. An example being the group I was in when I last played 3 of the 4 players were 3 under after 4 holes and all finished further under par after the 18.

With some very short Par 4's a couple of long Par 3's the course sorts it self out for most golfers as a generally good test.

When you think of playing golf in Australia, this course meets expectations in the fact of Australian wildlife on all holes. As for the conditions of the fairways, they need a lot of improvement.

If you are looking to play golf inexpensively, this is the course for you. A good course for the casual golfer.

The Gailes Golf Club is situated on Ipswich Road as you head West towards Toowoomba and is approx 40 minutes from the Brisbane CBD. The course is over 75 years old and as such, enjoys the benefits of established tree-lined fairways, which always help me enjoy my game.

The first few holes are hilly but for the most part, the holes have just enough changes in elevation to make things interesting but not difficult. The fairways are generous in width from most tees and any errant tee shots are generally punished too much.

Although the area was suffering from lack of rain, the club has maintained a good grass covering on all of the fairways and greens and only the areas in front of the tees were lacking grass (You only got yourself to blame if you end up 10 metres from the tee!)

All in all a great day of golf and recommended for any level of golfer, looking for a social game.
