Golf Courses Queensland

Queensland is best known amongst golfers as being Australia's golf resort capital. 13 of the Top 25 Resort courses in Australia can be found in Queensland. There are many fine courses in Brisbane, including the highly rated Brookwater Golf Club and North Lakes Resort Golf Club, Royal Queensland Golf Club, Indooroopilly Golf Club and the Brisbane Golf Club. For holiday makers, no golfing holiday in Australia is complete without a visit to the Queensland resort courses. Besides the golf, luxury accommodation, theme parks, water sports and a host of other recreational activities will make your Queensland holiday one to remember.

There are golf courses in Brisbane that cater for players of any skill level or budget (even kids who want to have a go at mini golf). So it doesn't matter if you're a social player or an aspiring pro there will be a public course, private club, driving range or putt putt course to challenge you.

Our directory has contact details for many public golf courses, including where to find a course anywhere in the Brisbane region, and read reviews by people who have played the courses. This website is packed with information on local Brisbane clubs, plus golf courses around Australia and the world. Remember, public courses tend to be cheaper and more relaxed about dress regulations while the prestigious or resort courses can have restricted playing times and high green fees but more facilities and level of service. Private courses need you to be a member (often an expensive and long-term option) or to be signed in by a current member to play a round. The majority of courses have hire clubs, buggies and carts available. Ask about these when you book your game.

Popular Brisbane Golf Courses include:

Victoria Park Golf Complex
This 18-hole public course is close to the heart of Brisbane with stunning views of the Brisbane city skyline. It's a beautiful course, quite hilly in parts so a motorised buggy is recommended if you don't want a demanding walk. Most of the fairways are fairly short and straight and well suited to beginners while the greens are in very good shape.

This golf course is owned and run by Brisbane City Council with very reasonable green fees. This course can get busy on weekends. There is also a fantastic driving range with plenty of bays which is popular with the after work crowd. There are specialised weekly morning classes for women too. There is a pro-shop offering lessons and golf clinics, an 18 hole putt-putt course and the Caddyshack cafe.

Nudgee Golf Course
Nudgee is a championship 36 hole course with an open design. It is challenging enough for top golfers but still accessible to beginners. It can get crowded and busy and you will need to book in advance. There are often competition days when public play is limited.

Nudgee College Golf Club
Very casual and cheap course of nine holes that welcomes non-members. Don't expect first class facilities or greens but it's a good course for beginners as it isn't crowded and has relaxed dress standards. Call to check if hire clubs are available.

Indooroopilly Golf Club
One of Brisbane's most established and prestigious courses and would have to be rated among Brisbane's best. This 36-hole championship rated course is located alongside the Brisbane River. Visitors and social groups can play the course Sunday to Friday. Note: there are strict dress regulations and you can hire buggies, clubs and shoes. Green fees are from $40 for a weekday game of 18 holes.

Brookwater Golf Club
One of Australia's best public courses. This first class course was designed by Greg Norman and is very challenging, even for experienced players. Allow plenty of time and bring spare balls. A unique feature of this course is the way it is integrated into a beautiful bushland setting. The service and facilities are of a very high standard and the greens are superb. Green fees for this premium, professional golf experience is at the high end but are well worth it. Get there early and have a practice hit on the driving range.
