pretty good course, although there hasn’t been any decent rain in Ipswich for ages, which definitely shows on the course. the fairways were very dry but the greens were consistent and in good condition. not much water comes into play, so the only real hazards are the bunkers and fairly tight fairways.a good and memorable course design meant that the day was very enjoyable. and the new front 9 which is being made looks really good from what I’ve seen. it looked a little bit like Brookwater. 3.5 out of 5

I played Ipswich Golf Club recently and must say I was pleasantly surprised. The course is fairly long and is in great condition, the fairways were in good condition, the greens were rolling true and the bunkers were well prepared.

The course has 3 par 5’s and 3 par 3’s. It has a combination of doglegs, both left and right and has some significant elevation changes. The course has reasonably tight fairways, so it is important to be accurate as well as long. It is important to be selective with the club you drive with, in some cases it might be better to use an iron off the tee.

There is not a great deal of water, the members and pro staff are happy.

Best of all the price is not overly expensive. They are also redesigning the course with the first 9 being sold off and a new nine coming in. This will be designed by Wayne Grady.

PROS

• Requires Accuracy
• Good Condition
• Price is cheap for the condition
• Friendly atmosphere

Ipswich is a nice course that suits the straight hitter, some of the greens were a little ordinary for a course that holds the Queensland Open, but all-in-all it was a nice course.

Pro-shop and clubhouse staff were all friendly and willing to assist with any needs.

The pro-Shop is reasonably stocked with some of the latest gear.

I have been invited to play Ipswich a few times and it is a great test of your skills. With tight driving holes this place will test your abilities from the outset.

Once you have sent a straight drive down the first you are met with a downhill mid iron to a moderate sized green with bunker front right and OB left.

The front nine has a couple of reachable par 5's and a couple of par 3's. As your front nine is coming near the end you are met with one of the toughest par 3's I have played. Slightly uphill 187 metre's to the green with bunkers left and right and what appears to be a false front. Accuracy and distance is the key.

Stop halfway for a cold beer in the airconditioned club house before your assault on the back nine.

Once again the back nine opens with a tight driving hole with OB right. You'll eventually hit the 13 hole with a long iron or 3 wood from the tee to a very slight dogleg right you have a mid to short iron approach to a small green with sand right. The fun doesn't stop there. When you get through the 13th you tee off the 14th (index 2) massive dam left trees right. Don't stray.

The 17th is an eye opener. Teeing through a shute of trees left and right with a bunker positioned at about driving distance on the right side. The green is guarded left by water, don't drag your mid iron.

I had an enjoyable day at Ipswich. The Pro Shop staff have been pleasant and friendly every time I have been and could not fault the service of the Clubhouse staff.

This course has held the past four QLD Opens and is a great test of golf for a reasonable price.

The best course in this area barring Brookwater (but that's another story).

Rated to be a very god course. Easy to find. Amenities in the club house, pro shop and on the course a good. 18 holes during the week will cost $20, average price. A cart for 18 hole is $30, a bit expensive. Overall, the couse is well set out, with most the fairways easy to hit as long as the play smart and true. The green on most have nice speed and are easy to moderate to play. Some are tricky and you need to read them well. Several holes are lined with either water or large bunkers, down the fairways or near the green, however, most are avoidable as long as you don't play poor shots. The worst hole on the course is the 17th. The tee area is lines for a distance with large trees down both sides. Drive straight or your in trouble, as I found out. Worse still, the green has a large lake to the left. Your approach shot must be a good one or else you will pay. Once again, as I found out. Aesthically, it is a nice course with a pleasant feel. Their are numerous birds, a variety of trees and some lovely water and garden features. Also, you have a nice view of Amberly Air force base from several holes. Overall, it was an average day out. What tarnished it for me were several things. The staff in the pro shop appeared arragant, some of the other players, definatley members, were a little stuck up, the money paid to play was not value for money and that damn 17th hole. Would play there again, but prefer to play elsewhere.
