Just realised where Windaroo Lakes is! Notwithstanding the opportunity to get a Yatala pie, it's probably too far.

Windaroo Lakes is not on the Gold Coast but an easy 25-30 minute drive up the highway.
Scottt,
have a look at google earth before heading to Surfers GC.
Lots of width and angles in play…not!

Southport and Surfers are both heavily 🌳 lined.
Played Surfers yesterday and had to hit under, around and over trees and that was from the fairways.
Maybe they could do what Virginia GC did and remove and mulch about 50 trees. Then put mulch 2 foot deep under all the trees adjacent to fairways and then of course have free drops because of all the old coots whinging.
Firing this one up again. Catching up with my BIL and his kids, most likely on the GC this week. I'm playing with a mate in Brisbane on Friday at 8am, then hoping to shoot across to the GC to play a twilight round somewhere on Friday and then a Saturday morning round somewhere.
Friday has to be close enough to Brisbane to get there in less than 90 minutes, but not too far from Surfers. Gainsborough Greens?
For Saturday, hoping to play Murwillumbah, or something that's not too high priced resorty style, just a good value track that's nice to walk around. Coolangatta-Tweed sounds interesting if it would be possible for a couple of visitors to get on at late notice, but anything that's nice. I'm guessing Saturday morning could be a problem for a few tracks (Murwillumbah included) so that might limit my options a bit. Beaudesert is another option, I know nothing about it but I think I have recipricals. Any other options I should look at?
The dumb question - what time does it get dark up there? I might be dreaming to try to squeeze two rounds into one day, but it's the OzGolf way!

Currently, Sunrise just after 6am, sets around 5.30pm.
Blakey might be able to guide you on best GC course options. Helensvale is his home course I believe. Quirky public course, but a bit of fun. Gainsborough Greens is the only course between the Logan and Coomera Rivers, other than Hope Island/Sanctuary Cove at the bottom end.

Larry, you would probably only get on most courses here after 11.30 on a saturday. Just ring about 9am in the morning ( not before, early field still checking in). For Cooly Tweed, ring Friday arvo, with comps on both courses, they should have room for you somewheee Cant think of anywhere you get a morning round on Sat, its always full.
Beaudesert isnt a bad option, enjoyable course. I would play it 10x before GG once. Ring on friday and try your luck.
Another time of the year I would host you somewhere but in the next 3 weeks i am already playing golf more than half the days, its madness. I just cant fit anything more in, gotta work and get laundry done somehow.
Friday you could easily play 36 holes... but traffics a bit rough. Check out Windaroo or Carbrook rather than GG.
Carbrook’s busy all Friday morning but there are spots from 1
Thanks chaps!
Will see how the BIL feels about Carbrook and do a ring around for Saturday.
