Well worth the journey

If you haven’t played Kooralbyn then you are in a go a treat. It is a great golfing experience. One of the best, if not the best, in Queensland.

Hidden Gem

Course in pretty good condition, one of the most interesting courses in the Gold Coast area.
Some tees and fairways need water, but otherwise perfect golf day.

Copperhead

Today we played the Copperhead back tee challenge. This course will test anyone’s game. Even more from the back tees. We loved it.

This course will test your game

This course will test your game. You must drive the ball in play. Not always long, but you must give yourself a look at the green. I played Wednesday, nice and quiet. I loved it.

One of the best courses in SE QLD

I have played this course a number of times over the last few months, and other than the nearly 3 hour return trip from Gold Coast, its a great day.
The course is rarely busy and often find myself playing without ever seeing any other golfers. Course is well designed with some really interesting holes. The course is well maintained and at $70 for 18 holes with a cart is good value.
If you dont mind the drive it is well worth a visit

Great Couse Layout

It has been many years since I last played at Kooralbyn and todays experience lived up to my past great memories. Course layout is great, with some really memorable holes particularly on the front 9 (holes 5,6 &9). Always challenging off the tee. Pace of play was slow due to very large group of corporate golfers on course, overall course condition was good (some greens were a little patchy probably due to frost impact) fairways really good, staff friendly. Would recommend.

Incredible layout, unfortunately too dry

I will wait until we have a good rain season before taking a 90 minute drive to replay this course. Absolutely love the layout but unfortunately this part of QLD needs frequent rainfall to maintain the layout this course was designed for.
The golf course rankings must have been judged during more pristine times as I could not see any reason apart from the course design that would make this a standout. Dams were low and many empty, fairways dry and cart paths needing repairs. I was pleased with the condition of the greens and enjoyed putting.
A must play course, however choose your timing, as dry conditions will cause disappointment.
