SURFERS PARADISE GOLF CLUB REVIEWS

Thank you to Analise Churchill (Function and Marketing Manager) for all the hard work you have done to help us celebrate our 50-year Golden Wedding Anniversary at the Surfers Paradise Golf Club. You were very flexible and accommodating with our request, from the tiniest details to last minute changes. Your staff were courteous, easy to deal with and helpful during the event. All our guests enjoyed the celebration - everything went smoothly. Josie and I are thankful to you and your staff for making our celebration an unforgettable and joyous occasion! I give 4 out of 5 stars!

Great course. 18 holes with all flat areas so easy for any age groups or level of skill. A few shaded areas but best to bring a golf umbrella during the summer months. Golf carts are available for hire. Best to book as quite busy.

Excellent course, lots of interesting holes. would have been even more enjoyable without the rain.

LINKS GOLF & WELLBEING REVIEWS

As someone who is just getting into golf, the staff and members were very accomodating and friendly. Came in Friday mid afternoon for a crack at the driving range and it was unreal. The golf course is immaculate and perfectly maintained, will definitely be going back for a round of golf very soon with a few mates.

Links Hope Island plays so beautifully. The course flows smoothly around the water with good fairways and greens. Deep bunkers and the to challenge and off the blues two of the Par 5 hole are over 500. Definitely going back

Beautiful golf course, one of the best in QLD I would say, we played 9, would love to come back and do 18. Amazing golf cart for the course, cushioned seats were fab! Great views all around the course. Things for improvement could be a map for the golfers and also a GPS for the golf cart. Will definitely return.
