This includes addresses and booking numbers and where I can a guide to the cost of a round of golf. I have listed all the main golf clubs and courses in the Gold Coast with a bit of information on each to give you an idea. Emerald Lakes has an 18 hole course with 9 holes under lights for night golf to 9.30pm each night. Most courses are 18 holes whilst a few are 9 holes. Some are private and only open to members, others are public.
There are different types of golf courses and clubs. There are over 30 great golf courses in and around the Gold Coast, and that isn't counting those within a couple of hours drive on the Sunshine Coast either! The map of golf course locations on the Gold Coast shows you roughly where all the courses and clubs are.

Then it was the drive back home to his place, where I’d left my car, and I drive home from there. We finished at lunch time, so stopped on the drive back to have lunch at a place not far from the golf course. Previously on 18 hole courses I’d been scoring totals around 130-140 strokes. Totalling up our scores after 18 holes, he had scored exactly 100 strokes. He said he hoped to score under 100 as a birthday treat. My friend had invited me for this round as it was his birthday. And then I putted it in for the birdie! That was the highlight of the day. I did a pitch over the sand and landed on the green, about 2.5 metres from the hole.
I hit around the left of the trees and ended up here as shown in the photo.
The tee shot here is blind, with the green behind a clump of trees. I did however manage a birdie on a later hole, the par 4 13th: I had a chance at a birdie if I’d sunk the putt, but I needed two putts, so scored par. It landed on the green, about 40 centimetres from the hole (I saw the pitch mark where it had bounced), and rolled a couple of metres further behind. This photo actually shows my ball after I hit my tee shot. Hole 7 is a short par 3 across this small pond. Fortunately I managed to connect cleanly and made it over easily with a nice drive.Ī couple of holes later is another water hazard, this course’s signature hole: So I really needed to hit this one well to clear that water. On the first four holes I’d hit poorly with the driver, sending the ball skimming low across the grass.

This was scary, because I’m still getting the hang of hitting my driver with the new techniques I picked up during the lesson I had a couple of weeks ago. You have to hit over the water and towards the yellow flag in the distance (between the two golfers). It has three holes where you have to hit over water hazards. It’s not a particularly fancy course, but was nice enough. So in some places on the course we had views of the ocean, and also back north along the coast to the city. It’s situated on top of the Illawarra Escarpment, a plateau that drops off in a cliff to a narrow strip of land along the coast.
This a shortish 18-hole course about 60 km south of the city centre. My golfing friend invited me today to join him for a round at Boomerang Golf Course.
