South East Queensland Courses - What is a 'must play?'

[matty]

Heading to Sanctuary Cove for a week and a bit late October, early Nov. I plan to play the Palms, The Pines, and Brookwater.
Could possibly fit in another 2 rounds. What are the better tracks around that I should have a hit on?

Also wouldn't mind having a hit with fellow Ozgolfers once I sort out tee times. Plan to play Brookwater on Monday 29th Oct, The Palms and the Pines on 31st and 2nd.

The other two rounds I'll play somewhere on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

Playing Schedule-:
29/10 The Glades 8.04am
31/10 The Palms 7.08am
1/11 Brookwater 1.15pm
2/11 Hope Island 7.48am
5/11 Royal Pines 7.30am
7/11 Yamba

Since, you've got Brookwater covered, it's a bit hard to name one. Coolum if you can get on it, I guess.

[Marto65]

Spend the coin and play Hope Island if you haven't before.

[Jarro]

Another vote for Hope Island here

[Daves]

Hope Island and The Glades would get my vote and are close to your base. I would also include Royal Qld, but it is a bit pricey unless you have a member that can get you on.

[matty]

Cool. Will lock that one in.

Palm meadows?

Palm meadows?

Wash your mouth out

[PeteyD]

Riverlakes?

[timah!]

You don't reckon Pops? Good layout and I keep hearing good things about the condition...

[petethepilot]

Riverlakes?

I played there today pete! Thats why I now hate golf in QLD!

Reddy Bay excepted of course (except that stupid 8th hole)

[markTHEblake]

Play Murwillumbah, nothing else around here is special, and are either overrated, overpriced or both!

"NONE"

Very hard to disagree with this. RQ, then daylight.

Unfortunately this is pretty much it.

Haven't played Hope Island though.

[Jarro]

Nudgee for sure

Because of the great members they have there ?

Or maybe the cheery pro-shop staff ?

[PeteyD]

Can't beat bribing nifty with a bag of CCs for a better tee time.

[Jarro]

Best starter in Brisbane

Glades.

I have played the glades, but I don't remember any of the holes. I do remember the greens were great for SEQ. But it seems Kind of like Lakelands, Enjoyable enough but nothing that stands out.

Glades is a lot harder than Lakelands.

Matty ... If you can get on any of the following, I dont think you'll be disappointed.

Hope Island
RQ
Glades
Lakelands.

Robina might be worth a call too ..

I am the direct opposite, I can remember just about every hole at The Glades, but not a one at Lakelands. Lakelands is always in top nick, but I find it very same same. The Glades greens are a Hybrid Bent grass and great to putt on, albeit they tend to mark up quickly.

Having done numerous trips to the Gold Coast, I would agree with the Glades/Hope Island as the two standouts, albeit they don't have much to beat. Lakelands as Daves mentioned has very few redeeming features although I did enjoy the waterfall hole, if anything screams GC tackiness, it's that. At all these places you spend a lot of time wending your way through cheap looking townhouses where it appears nobody lives.

I love my golf but last time we were up there the boys played Robina, I went to the pub.

[PeteyD]

I was saying i find the holes difficult to remember. Nothing really stood out. Lakelands is very same same, I have played it a number of times and struggle to remember much more than 17 and the waterfall hole, which was my point.

I would happily play the glades again as I did enjoy it.
