Hamilton Island had some stunning scenery which I enjoyed soaking in, but I'm not convinced that it is a great course design.
Whitsunday green was a weird pitch n putt course where there was no hole over 85 metres. The strange part was that it was lush, had bunkers, and hazard crossings (dry creek or dam) on all holes except for one. The greens weren't great, but I don't know if they can continue to maintain it considering it is well out from the tourist centre of Airlie Beach. Although it was $15 for just the nine holes and there is no other golf option around.

I just found the following map of all (or nearly all) Australian Golf Courses. It could be handy to find a course that you didn't know about.

I'm falling behind in my list. I've added another five courses in the last few weeks, four being completely new to me, with more to come in 2020.
Lowood was a decent nine hole country track, with different tees for the second nine. The second set of tees did make the holes play differently mostly, including changing the pars on a couple of holes. The fairways were patchy, but preferred lie was in play. The greens were a bit long to protect them from the heat, but they still rolled well. I'd be happy to play there again.
Burleigh had copped a lot of rain a couple of weeks ago and was quite soggy with zero run on the drives, but no real casual water around. The fairways seemed quite wide, but if you missed far enough to go in the trees, punching out sideways was pretty much the only option. The first was out of play while they did some green work, but they had a proper temp hole at the back of the 14th tee in play. It was an undulating course, which was in good condition otherwise.
Surfers Paradise had copped the same rain, but had coped with it differently. The water just seemed to pool in puddles in some places, and casual water drops were required, particularly in one area of the course, other than that area it was pretty dry. Most of the course was pretty open, except for a stretch of holes on the front nine that was quite tight. Surfers also had a hole out of play, and also had a permanent temp hole that could be used in its place.
RQ is just a different course to anything else in Qld, from the openness to the challenges on and around the greens, and the bunkering. It's great.
Glenview had full length par 3s, with small greens. The length of the holes ranged from 90m to 185m, but most played in the 140-160m area. So while the holes looked different, they didn't play much differently, as I was hitting the same club to the same sized target. Still, it serves its purpose as a family friendly venue for golf.
2x COVID induced trip cancellations cost me 23 courses in Scotland and 7 in South Australia. Plus my work travel got turned into zoom calls in March and hasn’t returned, which killed off a few more. Still, looks like I ended up with more than I thought I would given everything that has happened in 2020. 2/3 of them are first timers for me too which is nice.

Late season cram with 11 courses added in December, and four in the last week.
I really liked Maleny. When you drive into the carpark, you can see the outlay of the course and about 14 of the 18 holes. It's open and undulating, with nasty roughy and tricky greens. It is definitely a course that I will return to.
Maroochy River was a good course too. Less variety in terrain, but in very good condition.
Onto 2021.
