Played Royal Queensland recently in a invitational day. The club has exceptional facilities with a good driving range, good pitching and chipping facilities, good practice bunkers, and good putting greens. The course I played was the newly redesigned course, and it is very good. It is a challenge, but mainly because of the greens. They are tough to hold and read. There are plenty of bunkers and they are in play on most holes, both fairway bunkers and greenside bunkers. It is a good mixture of holes with many challenging holes. I’d definitely play again if the opportunity arose.

PROS

• Great condition
• great practice facilities
• good challenging course

compared with the other royal courses in australia, it probably is not up to scratch in layout. it is however, still good. it will be interesting to see how the new course is. some good holes here. always seems to be downwind or into the wind. its easy to hit over the bridge on the 17th as well, not as hard as everyone would think. the 10th hole very good. 9th and 18th have hard greens.

Royal Queensland still holds an elite status in the Brisbane Region as one of it's best golf courses. An old style layout with beautifully developed trees and great greens that roll flat, smooth, and fast.

This course has some great holes that really force you to make a decision on the tee. The fairway bunkering is a highlight with the bunkers located to catch any ball not hit 100% pure. Best holes are 7, 10, 17 and 18.

The only feature that I didn't like is the way the greens are built up mounds. No green on this course looks like it was a natural part of the land before the course was built. Because of this you often find yourself chipping up over 1 or 2 foot high sloped edges.

That said this course is a real challenge. When the wind whips up off the river some holes will play up to 100 metres longer or shorter than the card suggests.

This is one of Brisbane's "elite" courses. As a visitor you will be treated accordingly. Even RQ's members acknowledge this fact. My recommendation is to turn up, have a round at a really good course then finish the day off with a quiet beer and a steak down at the Breakfast Creek Hotel.
