Great way to spend a few hours on a lovely day on the Gold Coast.
Still a lot of water around from rain a week ago which made some spots a bit muddy.

2. gpj | Rated | 07 Jun 2013 | Add A Review

we played on a thursday and got around in well under 4 hrs, the course is in really good condition considering the recent rain. the only downside would be the 2nd and 3rd greens which had been recently cored and the duck shit on a few others.
all in all it was an enjoyable round with plenty of challenges for players of our ability.
the food in the cafe was a bit overpriced for what you get, but the layout with the view over the course was very nice.
the guys in the pro shop were great and very helpful.
we will definitely be back.

Thought I would chuck in a members review, totally unbiased of course. The heavy rain in the last couple of months has had the course looking very green and lush. Greens were cored last February and then caned with rain straight away for 7-10 days straight. They are only now coming up to their best and apart from the 2nd & 8th are in good nick. The yukka plants as distance markers mentioned in another review are about to be scrapped and replaced with posts the same as on the tee boxes. It is a slow process getting the course back from the neglected course it was 3 years ago, but, I reckon it’s well on the way.

The course was in decent shape,certainly value for money if not paying the full normal rate. Some of the cart paths were in a very poor state of repair with large potholes etc, would not like to be trying to pull a buggy over them.

Good day even though it had been raining. The course is starting to look awesome – the greens on 2 and 8 need work as these were flooded.
Pro shop staff are great and really look after you.

Course in reasonable nick, great value, great day but a bit slow so we played the front twice as the back was 10 min wait at each tee from what we could see. Please put proper yard markers and get rid of those ridiculous shrubs, golf is hard enough without having to guess distances, this is the only course I have ever played with these shrubs and sorry but it does not work, bad idea, get rid of them and move on.

Excellent course, a good challenge. The Tee boxes are bumpy and uneven.

I have played at Parkwood twice now, and unlikely to play there again. I find it expensive and way too busy. I was always waiting for the players in front (AVG 5 – 10 min), and the players behind are always waiting for me. At one hole there were 3 groups playing the same hole.

Pity because I quite enjoyed the course.

Very disappointed in this course, paid $45:00 per player today. I feel a little ripped off as the course was in poor condition. Greens were bumpy, patchy and furry. Tee areas were very uneven. Rude members, I was yelled to take my hat off to enter the cafe before I had even got to the door. Poor food choice at both the club house and pro shop, had the choice out of either 1 pie or 1 sausage roll at pro shop, upstairs I was charged $40:00 for 2 sandwiches 2 small hot chips and 2 drinks. If you have a choice of courses check the condition of this place before you pay good money for a substandard course. 2 STARS max…..

Beautiful layout, from the course to the driving range and putt putt. the course was challenging and yet made you feel good on occasion, though it was really wet, the greens and fairway’s were still quite playable. Fantastic course, will definitely play here again, but would suggest that nobody else does so that I could have a faster round…

Great course and would play again, however there are to many people booked around the same time and had a 7 man group in front which we eventually were allowed to play through but then were stuck behind 3 slow groups of 2. Also very wet having had a lot of rain. In dry conditions this course is great. Hopefully they can spread tee times out more for better players experience thinking of the player rather than the money.

Played on 23/2/13. Staff were friendly. The fairways were in ok condition but the greens were awful!!! However, in their defence they did advised the greens were cored on the Monday. We teed off at 3.15pm so was not expecting to be held up and was expecting to fit 9 holes in easily….we were bitterly disappointed! It was really slow play and we waited on average 5mins to tee off on each hole!! Then we had to wait on average 4 mins on the fairway for the group of 2 ahead of us to finish (who had to also wait the same time at each hole for the groups ahead of them!!)!! It was a loooong afternoon. They really should have had a course marshall to speed up play.
Overall, friendly staff but would not be back to play cos we could not even play 9 holes with the slow play and no course marshall.

I found it not a bad course I was unlucky to play the course after quite a bit of rain so it was a bit wet , and the greens had been sanded and a bit wet to ( adds to the challenge of putting :) apart from the wetness and greens it would be a beautiful course , I found the price great and there wasent many out the , but there is one thing they need to improve on is distance markers , needs to be more than a plant because on some of the holes couldn’t find any

Parkwood International is a very accessable and affordable course attracting golfers of all standards. Two-thirds of the course has water in play and often a hazard will run the entire length of the hole. The course presentation is fairly standard and not necessarily what you’d expect at an ’international’ course. The driving range, pro shop and clubhouse facilities are first class, however, the course just lets itself down with some scrappy bunkers and the use of yucca plants as 100m and 150m markers. Not surprisingly, they’re usually hard to spot. A bit of rain and a tidy up around bunkers and drains and this place would be top notch. The current online deals are great value and wouldn’t last if this was to happen. Overall, the par 71 layout is quite interesting, poses lots of questions and demands plenty of accuracy off the tee and approaching the greens. Nice atmosphere and well worth a hit if you’re on the coast.

A good and popular course with great value. Played on Wednesday 9 January and it was packed! The game was slow and came to a complete stop when we can across 3 first time players hitting between 15-30m per shot. They then gave up and went for a joy ride on the course!!! @@ On the brighter side, it’s a good course and in reasonable conditions suitable for players wanting to practise or enjoy a lazy day out.

I love Parkwood. I’ve been playing there since I was 8 years old. However whilst the recent renovations and changes to the course are of high quality, I miss the old layout and feel of the course. I don’t like how they changed the back nine to the front nine. The front nine (formerly the back nine) are much nicer holes, and therefore it is much better to save these holes til the end. In addition having three par 5s on the front nine and 1 on the back nine makes for a disjointed round. In spite of the fact I miss the old Parkwood, it is still a brilliant course and club. The staff are brilliant, and the members are very friendly to visitors to the course (unlike some other places).

A good track with a few pretty short par 3s. a typical resort style
Course with plenty of water hazards. Had a good coverage of grass to all areas, although was pumped with water due to the predicted. Was still very playable though. Check the tee times before teeing off and try to pick a spot with out a couple of groups in front, a very slow back nine. Staff were a good help and for $49 with a cart it’s a pretty cheap deal. Would play again on a quieter day.

Shambles upon arrival and the start, which spoilt the first couple of holes. First nine was interesting; second nine less so. Some of the construction mess and rubish in the ponds needs cleaning up before it could be considered an "international" course. And some GPS systems (eg. Garmin) need updating all the device gives accurate distance reading. I played of the black "championship" tees but they were not very challenging.

We used to be able to tee off at 1300 for $19 now its after 1400 and I am guessing in the coming weeks it will be later and later. Not sure why as it is $29 before then and there was no one else on the course but appears they are getting greedier which always happens. One note to all golf courses on the Goldie, lift your game, there are plenty of places in Aussie where people can play and get good service, the service at GC golf courses can only be described as CRAP!

But I will definately be playing this course more regular if the price stays this cheap.

Had to play by myself, despite the fact that when I booked on line, the booking list indicated that there was just one spot left at that particular time slot, so it was fair for me to assume that I was completing a foursome. Having driven 1600 kilometers with my golf clubs for a golfing holiday, this was am major disappointment. I would not have booked this game if I had known knew that I was going to have to play by myself, I may have well just gone to a driving range. If that was not bad enough, the course was in a very poor condition and I was stuck behind several slow groups. Gave up after 9 holes, never to return!!!

Im a member of Coolangatta but i play parkwood regularly and find the course layout really enjoyable. There are drivable par 4’s reachable par 5;s and some really tough par 4;s also. A few greens are quite poor and some are really good. But for the money you pay it is great value. Also they are improving all the time. For 19 or 25 dollars on iseek there isnt any better value for an afternoons round of golf.

for a cost of $35 inc. cart was a value buy, however the course condition warranted the low cost – 8 greens in very poor condition; fairways below average (to be fair no rain in this region for a month); pro shop assistance at check-in UNHELPFUL, particularly with buggy allocation – we tried 4 buggies before getting a working one. Staff (of 4) did not leave shop to offer assistance; 2 other groups had similar issues.
This course is undergoing refurbishment so in the future it may be better but still only a mid priced course at best.

Once all the refurbishment works are completed it will be a good course. The greens still require improvements but at least it is now faster than I remembered. Hopefully it retains it value of money following completion.

Played the course on Sunday 30/09/12. The changes are great and there are many interesting holes that make one think. When everthing beds in this will be a great course to play.
The facilities are outstanding and the pro-shop is comprehensive.

No drinks cart, no signage, no marshall, no where to have a beer other than a restaurant with incompedent staff and a intimidating non golfing atmosphere. Parkwood seem to be losing touch with the golfing aspect of there business. I must say the golf course it self is always improving. Fairways great, tees great, rough is very rough and greens bit slow but consistant. Golf Course 4 stars, hosptality 1 star……

The last time I had played there was 4 years ago, with the upgrades underway, they have done a fantastic job maintaining the course, although the greens were all over the place we all enjoyed the course and will definitely play there again. Staff at the pro shop and around the course were very helpful and approachable, only downside was no drinks cart.

A lot of changes to the course over recent months which has changed the layout and has improved the drainage and athsteic appeal although some holes such as the new par 3’s seem a little short. The greens were not at their best but all in all a good deal at $29 with a cart. I would check what state the greens are in before I play there again. The changes to the club house are fantastic and they are continuing to develope the hole area including clubhouse and driving range.

The course has had some major renovations since the last time I played there, I think the course is looking in better condition but I prefer the old layout, seems to be a bottle neck around the new par 3 I think it was maybe hole 12 around there the wait to tee off seemed to back up slightly. Saying that I would definitely play there again and the food was very nice.

Course still in the midst of a major refurbishment with a revised layout (the back nine is now the first nine etc.) with some new holes as well. Not adequately signposted, and requires a little more maintenance, especially the greens. Drinks cart was nowhere to be seen.
On the plus side, the layout is challenging, with may tight, narrow fairways. Not every hole a driver hole.
Well stocked pro shop, good driving range, facilities will be top notch when completed. Definitely the most friendly and helpful pro shop staff on the entire Gold Coast.

I had one of my best rounds ever at Parkwood yesterday, the course is going to be looking very good once it’s all finished. Overall fairways were very good, tee boxes very good. Greens were recently cored and sanded over the top which was annoying, but nevertheless if you can 2 putt you will have no excuses. Will recommend to anyone, much better than Gold Coast country club and Helensvale Golf Course. They are far far behind and falling down badly and getting worse.

I hadn’t played at Parkwood since the massive redevelopment. I was highly impressed by the size and presentation of the Pro Shop. There is still work being done but I could clearly see the attention to detail and effort that has gone in to enhancing the whole set up.

The new holes were very nice and the change in layout of the course I found to be better balanced than before. The two friends I played with hadn’t played there before and play quality golf off low handicaps and they found it challenging enough, the greens were fast and the rough thick enough to make them nervous.

8/10 with where it’s at, still work going on I’m expecting great things!

The day we played was overcast with showers – this we expected from forecasts. However I rang the course prior to leaving Brisbane to check if the course was open as it had been reported that there was considerable rain on the Gold Coast leading upto today’s game – the response back was the course was wet but playable.

To say the course was wet is a gross understatement – it was saturated "every where" eg two of the greens were unplayable, they were completely covered with a thin layer of "still" water.

The course should have been CLOSED.

I really believe that for $29.00 for eighteen holes including cart hire is extremely well priced. Especially with the calibre of the lay out of the course and the diverse range of holes,ranging from good length par 4 holes to some very challenging pin locations on the par 3 holes. The welcoming service and advice given by the employees at the pro shop made the experience such a memorable day and I am looking forward to when our next visit to Parkwood international will be.
Thank you for providing such a awesome golf experience

This is a social/family venue but not much on offer for serious golf. While the new putt-putt complex is a kid’s dream the course proper is a "work in progress". Even for a Friday the pace of play was agonizingly slow. This was further exacerbated by members taking a lunch-break after the ninth and then abusing golfers wishing to play through.

The greens are still in poor condition due to maintenance, but im sure after a few weeks it should come good. The green in the 4th hole is still temporary, and the tee box for hole 5 is still being renovated. Other than that and the greens the course is still ok. I would rate the course as being 2 stars for now mainly due to the greens.

A nice easy Par 3 to begin with, water on the left to play on your opening tee shot. Overall course layout was friendly with generous fairways and reachable par 4s and 5s. The front 9 is easier with the back 9 presenting a much sterner test. Unfortunately we played on a soggy course, which held up remarkably well given the massive downpour the night before.

Allowing for the fact that the greens were being cored and will no doubt be restored in several weeks the overall of the rest of the course was in quite poor condition.

After so much rain Parkwood has stood up as well as many of the higher class courses on Gold Coast. The worst i could say is that rough was uncut but was informed by the superintendant, who was very approachable, that there rough mower had broken down but also commented that he has recently started a weed spraying program which is badly needed to purify the course, therefore he could not cut certain areas untill the chemical had taken affect on weeds. He seemed extremly dedicated and enthusiastic. Greens were slow but was expecting that due to moist conditions. Keep up the good work Parkwood.

Aparently they were from the veterans group – but these ’gentlemen’ were wasting time, looking for extra balls, chatting in groups – even after being asked to speed up thier play by the course official.

Clubhouse, carts, food and service were all first class. The front 9 i found to be in quite a poor condition with greens very small. I also found it frustrating that the card distances didnt match the hole distance (especially on the short par3 second) Also boards showing distance at the tee were missing on most holes.

The back 9 i found to be in very good condition, greens were alot better.

I also found that around the greens were very flat and subsequently pretty easy to navigate if you were just off the green.

The course is next for the upgrade once the clubhouse and amenities are finished. Plays a little hard in the ground surface, but good run if on fairway. I would definitely recommend this course, especially in a few months time.

Course was in overall good condition. I was playing on my own and it took the hackers in front of me 9 holes to ask me to play through after riding up their arse hole after hole. Rubbish. There is no courtesy whatsoever on this course. Some degenerate picked up my ball which was just in the treeline on an adjacent hole. Other than the tiny 4th hole green (diseased and had to be made into a makeshift green) the rest of the course was fine. Please have the Staff advise ALL players of how long it should take to finish 18 holes before their tee time

I played the course about 6 months ago and was super impressed with the quality of the greens and fairways. The clubhouse, pro shop and mini golf are beautiful however I believe that the course has suffered because majority of funds appear to have been allocated to clubhouse etc rather than course. The greens are still very good although not at the standard they were 6 months ago and the fairways are not even close to the carpet like standard they were 6 months ago. The course is definitely not international standard but having said that, very enjoyable and I will return as the cost through iseekgolf.com is great value.

Played here on the public holiday on the 3rd of January. Tee off booked for 12.20pm.

Upon arriving at 12 we were told we were going to be in a group with another two people. By the time we got down to the first tee at 12.20pm after eating some lunch the other two people were not to be seen, I believe they had teed off with someone else, which was fine by us.

Problem was everyone starting on the 1st which is a par 3, always a problem (albeit only because the hole is being worked on). The second hole is a par 3 as well so we were waiting for two groups to go before even teeing off.

The pace was horrendously slow with a ten minute wait at least it seemed on each hole. Could not play through because there were so many groups in front. Wasn’t helped by the fact that one group in front spent ten minutes searching for lost balls when they sprayed it wide (a lot!!).

Not a single marshall the entire time to speed things up. Which was the only big dissapointment.

Great course however. Bunkers need more sand but that’s not too much an issue. Course has some good challenges, can be forgiving as well. Will go back if I can get another good priced round.

I’ve played at Parkwood several times but yesterday was my first time in about 8 weeks and I love what the guys have done with the place. The greens were just about perfect whereas some were patchy six months ago. The new clubhouse and pro shop are very professional and I hope the new Putt Putt course becomes popular with the locals.
For $25 plus a cart, this course (despite it previous and existing renovations) is an absolute bargain. Anyone who says otherwise simply has too high a standards for golf!!
The only negatives I have would be that some of the tee off areas need relaying (5th & 7th are very uneven) and the bunkers still need a lot of work – actual sand would help..

PROS

Greens are near perfect, clubhouse and pro shop are top quality and drink cart was seen for first time in ages!

Cons

Certain tee off areas, bunkers with dirt rather than sand in them

Well funny how this is going to be negative and opposite to all of the other recent reviews, however here we are.Having booked a round via iseek,we arrived on time to find that everyone was going off the first tee,we then had to wait approx 5 to ten mins at every hole to tee off,fine however when it takes approx 3.5hrs to do nine holes i find that a little hard to swallow. Having mentioned that back at the pro shop,the answer was look at how much you paid, where my answer was that was what was on offer. all well and good to offer cheapish deals when you have a cattle parade happening i guess, one way to re-coupe some money.

I played here previously and the course was poorly maintained by the previous owners.
The new additions such as the new clubhouse, cafe and putt-putt look great. Im sure this course is going to become very popular

Our group of 4 played this course on 29th and had an enjoyable round.
As GC locals Parkwood is our normal pick due to locality, great price, course layout and condition.
The layout provides a challenge for most golfers with variable wind conditions.
Congrats to the new management team for the ongoing changes to the amenities and course, this will be a great venue when complete.
The only criticism our group has is that when we finished [7pm] the club had closed so we didn’t get to sit back and have a few beers and unwind at the 19th!
Maybe a course marshal to keep the play moving could be looked at.
Overall a great course and facilities for locals and visitors.

They are doing some serious renovation to the Club House and course. There is a lovely garden and pavilion being built. The 1 St hole had a temporary tee. Pro shop staff was friendly. I can tell that by mid 2012, the Golf Course will look great.

If anyone wants to experience it at a reasonable price, this is time to do it. However, I would want another game when all renovations are done. The course will look amazing when it’s properly maintained.

Obviously a lot of work going on at the moment but they seem to have forgotten to work on the golf course. The Tee boxes were terrible, and the greens all different speeds and the 4th green is temporary but really bad especially if you land on the bottom tier.

Had played the Parkwood International a month or two prior and admittedly, I did not think the course was unpleasent, however after a bit of rain, a mate and I attacked it mid week, and we were extremely impressed with it!

The fairways were firm for length off the tee, but soft enough to take a divot on your second or approach. The greens were really speed cosistent throughout the 18 and yet soft enough to attack the flag! However some of the Tee’s could have been a little nicer, but taking the good with the bad, it is easy to ignor their condition in comparrison to the rest of the course.

Overall a fantastically set out course with a few great challenges! Distancing your shots on this course is a must to break even!!!

Plenty of work happening on the golf course looks as though ground staff are building new greens and there seems to be alot of unfinished projects. maybe they should finish one project before starting another. major improvements though. Fairways looked and played great. Greens were consistant. Staff were friendly but did not see a Marshall all round (some very slow play). When all work is finished this course could have the potential to be one of the best on Gold Coast.

199. UrbanLegend | Rated | 30 Aug 2011 | Add A Review

After a lot of rain in the 2 days beforehand this course held up really well. Greens were playable but not great. Ball did spend some time in the air while travelling to hole. I enjoyed the variety of holes with trees and water in play.

Had 42pts so happy with my golf which always makes the course enjoyable.

BUT we had our soft drinks taken off us mid-round because we were not allowed to take any form of drinks on the course. Alcohol I completely understand but the course marshall told us it means everything- soft drinks, bottles of water. I checked the scorecard, looked for a sign in the proshop and outside and also checked the club’s website but saw and read nothing stating this policy.

Now the soft drinks taken off us were already open so instead of asking us to finish them and not to open any more they just took them straight from us. All we took was 4 cans of coke (1 each) and a bottle of water.

This left us stunned and quite ticked off for the rest of our round and we definitely won’t be returning to this course.

Absolutely ridiculous policy/rule as every other course I have played at the Gold Coast has been fine with us taking a can of soft drink onto the course.

What a disappointment! We had breakfast in a lovely club house over looking the course, seeing water everywhere the course looked picturesque. It was a different story when we got on the course, if you enjoy hitting putts and the ball be in the air longer than its on the ground then your looking at the right course. This course was disgraceful and wouldn’t pay money to play there again. The perfect social course for people that have never played before.

I have played at Parkwood 1/2 a dozen times in the last 3 years. In the past i have seen this course in great shape, and more recently it has been, well,,,, below average. After not coming back for nearly 12 months until now, i was greatly surprised to see some new direction. The Clubhouse has been renovated and looks fantastic. New Electric Carts, but most of all there’s plenty of action going on out on the course. Applause to the new owners, this course is coming back to it’s former glory.
Golf wise, if you play off the championship tee’s, it’s a great layout. Plenty of obstacles like water and tree’s cutting into the driving zones and greens area’s. The greens are good and fair to putt on.
If you are playing off the whites and hit a long ball, theres a good chance you will reach all the par 5’s in 2.

I play golf every weekend between the Gold and Sunshine coast and am lucky enough to play the best courses. If you want value for money, and a chalenge, i can recomend Parkwood to any Golfer. Well done Parkwood for bring this gem back to life.

I’ve played this course many times before. They layout is fantastic, the greens were extremely fast which I loved, however there was an awful lot of wet areas. Considering we hadn’t had rain in at least 2 weeks, I expected the course to be a lot dryer. If you stick to the fairways you’ll generally be fine, but even some fringes of greens had about an inch of water, and there’s no way you’re getting your ball through it.

208. hearsz | Rated | 26 Jun 2011 | Add A Review

I’ve played at Parkwood five times since February and I have absolutely no complaints about the staff, the layout and certainly not the price. The brand new carts are excellent and the clubhouse is of really good quality.

However, after playing there three times in the past 6 weeks, I was really hoping for little things to be improved, especially in the past two weeks with our perfect weather.

The eleventh & seventeenth hole greens still need a lot of work as they look anything but the colour "green". Both greens are next to each other so I can only assume the drainage in that area of the course is quite poor. Somehow miraculously I managed to birdie the 17th hole, despite the green being in poor condition.

The most frustrating thing I found when I played last week is that two bunkers in particular (the 4th & 16th), was like hitting off dirt (which cost me up to four shots). I would expect after the $1 million dollar refurbishment spent on the course, some of it would at least be spent on fixing all of the bunkers..

The only other complaint was that some of the tee-off areas looked ready to be played on, however we still had to hit off some lopsided tee-off areas instead which made it impossible to get feet placement the way one would want it, in order to feel comfortable when teeing off.

My rating is a 3.5/5 but by fixing these little areas, the course, when it hasn’t had a lot of rain could be given a 4.5 at best.

PROS

Staff
Layout, Most Greens, Golf Carts, Clubhouse

Cons

Some tee-off areas, the 4th & 16th bunkers, the 11th & 17th greens

Really unimpressed. Drinks cart was non existent (on a Sunday!)- the girl was zig zagging all over the course, so she missed us every time.

The course marshal (a polite young kid) did nothing to keep the slow movers going. This caused a massive backlog that made it a 5 hour round.

The course lacks proper drainage so the whole thing was still soggy from the rain a week before.

Course was passable overall, but suffered from the massive digging and drainage efforts throughout the whole course. Most of the first nine was waterlogged and muddy. The tee boxes were in dreadful condition on almost every hole, but the fairways were quite good and the greens were great.

Service was great to get on the course, and a big plus was that the drinks cart was going round all day. Unfortunately, the marshall did nothing to speed up a couple of very slow groups who did not call faster and smaller groups through. It’s very hard when there is a four ball in front with one of their kids playing almost full holes in addition.

The iSeek green fee of $45 (inc cart) is probably on the high end of fair for this experience, but not excessive.

219. KatherineHunt | Rated | 09 May 2011 | Add A Review

A lovely course overall. However, it was waterlogged despite no rain for 2 weeks. Thus, we couldn’t use the carts off the actual tarmac track. This slowed the game down to walking speed and as a result there were three groups playing each hole – all just waiting for the ones in front to move on.

It was very dangerous – we almost got hit three times because the people behind us were very aggressive and impatient at the slow pace. It is not a nice environment to play golf in when the pace moves so slowly and it is so crowded.

It took us 4.5 hours to get through 12 holes ! By then it was dark so we left, but we paid for the full 18. Not a nice system really.

I would play there again on a day when there were no other people holding us up in front and hurrying us from behind, as the course was good and the carts worked well. It is great value.

The only issue was the drainage work has left piles of dirt on the fairway edges , if you hit them your in trouble . Greens ran straight as an arrow all day . You can have confidenece from 12 feet the straight put will find the hole . we will be back when it dries out.

Played there on Monday the 28th of Feb. The course was nice, but some of the fairways had a few bare patches, and the greens ran at different speeds. I usually play Emerald Lakes for $34, and we played Parkwood for $29. Comparing the two, Emerald is much more worthy of the money, for the quality of the course, but it was good to play somewhere different.
We arrived 10 minutes early of our teetime though, and there was a group of 7 members waiting at the first tee, who graciously allowed us to play before them. Had no problems as far as waiting goes, there was never anyone directly behind or infront of us until we lost track of time finding a ball and had a single player catch up to us.
I’d say Monday arvo is probably the best time to go.

May or may not be back…

although there had been quite bit of rain the course was fairly ordinary..poor greens not looked after very well and a lot of rough which made it quite difficult to find errant balls..would not recommend this golf course.

Course was great considering the rain. Very good layout and challanging with some exciting holes to test the brave off the tee.

We had a great time out there with very friendly members which was great, but i must say that the marshall on the day needs to pull his head in. His attitude was rubbish and how he talked down to my playing partner (who was only young but a good player) was uncalled for.

Otherwise a very good day.

Played Dec 21. Excellent value for $29 on iseek. Pretty wet in many places and patchy fairways. Got stuck behind some tourists and marshall would have been nice. Plenty of work going on around the clubhouse, I am sure this is a quality track in normal weather conditions.

Played here for the first time. A Christmas break up for work. After check in, went to tee off and was told I couldn’t play as wasn’t wearing a collared shirt. I was in dress shorts and a neat tee shirt; the other guys were in correct shirts. (I hadn’t played before). I was told I had to wear the correct shirt or couldn’t play. Was told I could purchase one for around $6. Now $6 isn’t the real issue, it was handled very poorly. Understanding NOW that there is a very strict dress code, I would have offered to give someone a cheap shirt just to keep the group happy, as they were paying customers. (If it was me). As it happens one of the guys had an old smelly shirt with a collar, in the boot of his car, so I put that on (out of spite). Now we played, and we purchased lunch and several beverages during the day. I wouldn’t put that extra income at risk for the sake of a ($6 retail) shirt! We could of and nearly did take the whole group somewhere else. To add insult to injury, we saw a lady wearing a grey singlet with NO collar, just a couple groups ahead of us. But hey, she didn’t get asked to leave!! There is NO double standards here!!
To the manager: DON’T forget, there is a lot of other golf courses on the Gold Coast. You shouldn’t assume that everyone that comes to play golf knows all the dress codes as there is always going to be a first time for someone to play. Maybe you should have offered a free shirt! You just don’t know who you are turning away and especially what potential customer you could have kept.

The fairways were in good nic, and the course is presented rally well. A couple of good dog-legs for players like me that like to spray their drives right, don’t know if I would like to live on the 3rd, good morning! (sorry)
There’s a nice amount of water and bunkers around the course although the bunkers were still hard from last weeks rain, so hard we were able to putt out of them. The greens are fairly flat but still, if you cant putt, they cost you shots.
The staff were great, walked in with booking number and teed off 2 mins later, very easy.
An enjoyable round made simple by iseekgolf, cheers.

PROS

Nice layout
Long and Wide fairways
Great design for right handers with a bit of a slice

I played at Parkwood on Sunday the 12/09/2010. We had a group of 7, so 2 tee times. We hit off on time and didn’t get held up at all. The greens were cored a week earlier but we knew this as Parkwood had a notification on Iseek prior to booking. As a twice a month golfer I found the golf course both challenging, and rewarding. It is a very picturesque course and an absolute pleasure to spend 3 1/2 hours on a Sunday. The guys in the pro shop were both proffessional and courteous. Well done Parkwood.

The only problem we had was we we looking for the marshall all day as the groups in front held us up the whole round. We waited on every hole and instead of taking 4 hours 15 or so, it took us 5 hours to complete the round. I noticed that about 3 groups in front were a whole hole behind and did not seem to try and make up time.
Other than that we played alright and will return as I do like the course for the price I paid.

No playing of the 10th tee either because of the comp. Tee off wasnt so bad we got away at 1.30pm but from there it was by far the slowest day of golf ive ever had. dissapointing game as it took 4.5 hours and we had to finish on the 15th due to lack of the light in the sky. dont play on wednesdays at lunch.

I was very dissapointed with my last round at Parkwood. We arrived ten minutes before our tee time to find eight groups lined up waiting to tee off. Needless to say, we teed off late. The grounds were in sad shape, and the round took nearly six hours to complete.

A course of this low quality, and with this poor time management should not be charging this kind of money for a round. Comparable courses are in the $13 – $17 range in this area, and would be more appropriate.

In the future, I won’t be ruining my weekend with a round at Parkwood

Parkwood offers a pleasant experience at great value. The diversity of the terrain keeps the golf interesting. It’s not as "glamorous" as many local courses, but is very playable.

Parkwood International was a nice course. We had only one issue really and that was the amount of people playing the course which slowed the game down. There was a line up of three groups waiting to tee off at the time that we were to tee off and then the game was very slow from there on in. In the end we only got to play nine holes that afternoon instead of 18 holes as we were suppose to tee off at 1:35pm but with the line up and the slowness of the amount of people playing the course by 4:30 we had only completed 9 holes and the sun was starting to go down. We had two groups waiting on most tees each time. But other then that the staff were nice and the course was in good condition. :)

The overall appearance of the course from the elevated clubhouse was very attractive. The fairways were well grassed and the greens in good condition. However,the tees were generally narrow and humped in the centre making it difficult to locate a level teeing ground. The course infrastructure (cart paths etc), in places, was in need of repair and tended to distract from the pleasing environment. Parkwood represents good value when compared with other courses on the Coast. I look forward to becoming a member soon.

What a lovely course. It’s well laid out with water lurking on lots of holes. Tee boxes could have been a bit tidier, greenstaff were busy all over the course. Big downside on our round was we arrived before our tee time but nobody seemed to going at their allotted time, hence we got stuck behind Ian Woosnam, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson…..at least that is who they thought they were as they took 20 practice swings before, and after, every shot which usually bobbled 50m down the fairway with the divot which never got replaced.

Only problem I found was 7min tee time spacing with no official starter. Tee of at 1:21 and unable to finsh 18 holes due to light (called after 15) and a 5-7 min wait at every tee box for the group ahead.

Fairly simple layout, tree lined fairways with little rough beneath so not a major disadvantage being wayward. Small bodies of water make it interesting, but not too difficult. Not a lot of bunkers, but I seemed to find them nonetheless.
Greens in good condition even though they looked recently top dressed.

The layout was good, greens are still being worked on so a little slow, (they "sanded" 3rd green right after we finished playing it)a nd most of the course held up pretty good considering all the rain we’ve had. But we did lose a couple of balls that were in the fairway but obviously plugged.
Afterwards went in for an ice cold beer but did not eat as we had other plans. Overall when dry this course would be very good value for the money paid. We are going to try to come back next week while we are still in the area.

We have played Parkwood a few times now and think its pretty good value for money. Bit dissapointed in the bumpy greens due to the renovations,course a bit wet in patches due to excessive rain, nice and green though, all in all we shall return.

The course was in good condition considering the rain South East Queensland received over the previous week. Some of the greens are still recovering from the work done in early February and some of the tee boxes need some work, especially hole 5.

The layout was challenging but also fairly forgiving for a low 20’s handicapper.

I think I will return once the course is a bit dryer!

4/3 Course is still very wet and the majority of greens need more time for improvement, staff helpful though. Won’t be returning for a few months and will look forward to playing when the course has recovered.

First timer at the course during what has been a very wet week in SE Qld. Course was in reasonable shape given the conditions. Would very much like to return in the dry as I thought the layout was quite challenging and interesting.

Found the greens a little inconsistent in speed but again the wet conditions were the likely cause. All in all a enjoyable round in trying conditions.

Very dissapointed in the greens. Whoever has reonovated them has ruined them an the coarse is well below adverage. Its like they have run over the greens in a tank with more grooves than John Travolta in Saturday night fever.
The coarse layout is great but its not worth the $60 with cart we were charged and I will not be returning until the greens are playable.
Pies and beers were nice but the Bacon an Egg sadwiches were overpriced.

We played this course on Friday 5th February 2010, using the iseek online special deal @ $19 p.p. including cart during green renovation.
Apart from the 1st couple of holes, the course design is very pleasing with many interesting holes. No super long holes and no "mickey mouse" holes, gives all normal golfers a chance to score well on any given hole.
We all agreed that we would come back when greens were finished and look forward to an iseek special online deal.

This is a good social golf course. The fairways are in pretty good nick and the rough is very forgiving. The yardages on the early par 3s might need revision though. I can’t comment on the greens, as I played during the renovations and the greens were very very heavily sanded. I would have hoped that iseek would have been more specific about the conditions of the greens. I have recently played on greens which have been ’redone’, and they were considerably more playable than the ones at parkwood. I wouldn’t play there, at least until February 20 until the greens recover

Have played here before and enjoyed the course. Apparently there had been some vandalism on the third green so all were supposed to be starting on the tenth. My playing partner was not advised of this when collecting the cart and there was much confusion on the tee with people coming through from the eighteenth. Went to the tenth and found people coming through from the ninth. This made it a five plus hour round with a cart.
Pro shop needs to be more involved in the starting.
Will play this course again.

The course is very long and challenging for a novice like myself. The hazards are everywhere but some of the holes offer wide fairways which was a blessing. It was very busy with fast golfers always on our tail. We did let through a good number of carts and walkers as the 5 hours it took 4 of us was way too long. Overall a lovely course. More suited to seasoned golfers. 85/100

Parkwood is a reasonable course but I don’t think they should allow bookings when they are coring the greens and doing associated work.Putting was virtually impossible on some greens and there were long delays waiting for workmen to see approaching groups and allow shots to the green. Trying to place shots to avoid workmen doen’t help your game either.

Currently the greens are being redone so are aweful to play and the course in general is quite dry. However the middle fairways are still good and once the greens bounce back this will be a very enjoyable course to play.

Booking was easy. Pro shop courteous and helpful.

Other golfers waiting for tee off need to be reminded by proshop to stick to tee times – if you are late you need to wait if the next group is on time. Latecomers should not penalise those adhering to golf etiquette.

Asian golfers fake ignorance, but believe me they know what is right and should be made to stick to time etiquette.

Overall the course is great, nice and friendly with enough challenges – water and sand. We all wish to play on manicured courses, but with drought like conditions – lack of rain it is difficult to manage.

As long as we see grounds staff working we should be happy that things are being taken care of. Thanks to staff who stopped their machines while we were putting!

Not a tough test of golf but an interesting mix of holes and greens in exceptional condition.

A nice course. Busy but not rushed which is a pleasant change on the Coast. Greens were in good condition but the course will dry out very quickly I feel.

Played Parkwood this weekend 2nd August and found the course to be in the worst condition in many years. I wouldn’t recommend this course currently until it improves alot.

nice course- obviously with the rain we have had the course was still very wet in some parts- but the greens were well maintained and the overall appearance of the course was great. Would definately play again

I have to say that since my last review at the beginning of February the course has surely turned a corner going in the right direction. New machinery has been bought and new staff arrived. Despite still bearing the sign of neglect the fairways are going back to being the spongy green fairways of the best times. The greens are very nice at the moment and the rough has been cut and kept to a minimum, just as it should be.
So, well done Parkwood and keep at it!

Despite what may have been stated (harshly) in the past about the conditions that Parkwood was subjected to over the christmas period, as a PROUD member of The course it is great to say that it has finally turned the corner. The course has received new machinery and as a result, Parkwood is returning to it’s former glory. For those nay sayers still out there writing unwarranted ’comments’, I urge you to see the course for yourself first hand.

Cinarellaboy, if you think Parkwood is playable these days you must be living in Dreamland!
Unless you’re actually the owner or course superintendant because there’s no other way you can write anything positive about the course at the moment.

You guys are Pathetic, A course grows a bit of Grass and off you go having a sook, JUST because you guys arn’t good enough to deal with different conditions don’t go talking crap! Gof was never meant to be a game of perfect fairways and perfect lies…..GROW UP CHOPPERS

new member of parkwood. what a waste the fairways are nearly as bad as rough covered in weeds and bare patches in some spots. all in all a good layout in extremly bad condition

448. Pipp | Rated | 02 Feb 2009 | Add A Review

I am (not for long) a member here. The course has been in appalling condition for the past 2 months and nothing is being done to reverse that. Fairways not deserving of this name (weeds, rough, bald patches everywhere). Rough about 200mm long makes it all but impossible to find balls if you’re unlucky enough to get there. But then again, no difference to the "fairways".
Staff quite rude as well with mowers running past you at full speed while you’re trying to hit your shot.
I read another reviews saying it’s better to go to a local park to play: I suscribe to that.
Definitely going somewhere else very soon. Goodbye Parkwood.

tried to post two reviews recently but it seems I can’t rate any lower than this. Was a good course, now in the most appalling condition. You’d be better to hit the ball around the local park with your kids.

Save your money as they have just let it go.

Played this course after new year and found it in a very neglected state.Fairways where more like rough with big patches of long grass everywhere,definitly needs some attention,paid 60.00 per head with cart,not good value!

451. Ditty | Rated | 02 May 2008 | Add A Review

What a great course – slow play, lots of Asians but great layout – back 9 was challenging in some places – all in all a fabulous “5 hours” carting around and playing the best game in the world!

452. thechad7 | Rated | 29 Jan 2008 | Add A Review

Those that think this is an easy course are extremely foolhardy. Water hazards and bunkers in play on almost every hole. Greens are true the members friendly with the drinks cart visiting on course often with a bevy of beverages to suit all tastes. The practice green putts the same as the rest on course and the driving range is open all day. Great staff and a great challenge. Worth a visit at really competitive prices.

Played here last week and had a great day. The course is well layed out and challenging and the staff and ladies from the comp playing behind us were very polite and helpful. Considering joining here as I enjoyed it that much. The course was in tremendous condition and I found several of the holes a real challenge. HIghly recommend.

454. Brucedoleman | Rated | 26 Feb 2007 | Add A Review

Firstly i must say, the Pro shop and the 19th hole staff were extremely helpful and friendly, with regards to the course one can certainly say whilst at times it throws up a great challenge to all players, and the greens fee’s are equally relaxing compared to some other course’s not even up to the standard of this course.

I’ll certainly be back, and become a full member shortly….

Overall a lovely course.

Just joined as a social member, $49 gives me $15 off the green fees and two complimentary rounds!!

Definately reccomend this one, especially for the price on the Coast. Club house is bit old and can't really say it has a pro shop.

Course is great. Heaps of features everywhere. Water or fairway bunkers on just about every hole. Fairways great, greens 8/10.

Good for a lonmg challenge off the blue tees, but can suit anyone with three teeing grounds greatly varying in length, up to 70m difference on a par 3.

456. nickster2005 | Rated | 22 Jul 2005 | Add A Review

This course is great value. The first few holes are a little average but from about the 4th on this course is fantastic. Well manicured fairways and greens. Great value at $35 for 18 holes on weekends! And the members playing on the course were very friendly and relaxed.

this was the first course I had played on the Gold Coast, was very impressed with Rhett the young man in the pro shop, the member I played with was ever so friendly and the course is very flat, great large greens that are true, I shall be back, and last but not least the green fee very reasonable compared with the other courses I played on

458. long | Rated | 14 Jan 2004 | Add A Review

I loved this course from the layout to the length of the course, to the driving range, the caterers I might add probably have the best selection of food of had at at a golf course, and very nice service as well.

Onto the golf, pro-shop very helpfull as I'd never played this course before, pointed out where to go etc, very very impressed with course reasonably priced and very easy to walk as well.

Members very helpfull. Overall great surroundings, definatly will be back.
