    Default Gold Coast

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm going to be visiting the Gold Coast with the family next week. I'll be staying in Burleigh Heads and will not have the use of a car.

    What are my nearby golfing options? Is it worth bringing over my sticks for a round of golf and a visit to Top Golf with the family?

    I'm trying to decide if I should get a round in while I'm away, or just travel lightly.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    All that would work unless you need silly long stuff

    The wife has added one more bag to the booking. Sticks are packed and ready to go.

    What time? Not a lot of tee times before 10.00 Take pick anytime after that. IMO play 11.30, so no crappy traffic to deal with getting out of the city

    I was waiting on you guys to decide a time before jumping in, but it looks like four spots already taken. Is that correct?

    Booked 11.30 am. Total cost inc comp fee is $105, as its public holiday rate (who knew?). There is 40min gap between us and previous group so we can go earlier if we want.

    Send me ya name and golf link numbers.

    Gee, the cost is getting up there. This round better not destroy my confidence before the last round of club champs.

    If I drink it, but don't check it in to the beer app, it doesn't count.
