Golf on the Gold Coast

Golf in Australia is in pretty good shape. Not only will you find many fantastic golf courses designed by some of the greats in the golfing world, you will also be amazed by the number and variety of courses and facilities.

The Gold Coast is one of the most fabulous places to play golf. It is an ideal holiday destination for all types of golfers - offering a wide range of courses from par-3 public golf courses to five star luxury resort courses. With more than 30 golf courses located within 45 minutes drive of Surfers Paradise, you'll find a course close by, whether you're staying at Broadbeach or Coolangatta or somewhere in between.

If you're a keen golfer organising a Gold Coast golf holiday or you simply want a fun day out on the coast, the many courses on offer are sure to impress. Most Gold Coast Golf Courses are open seven days, with facilities ranging from club and buggy hire, to basic drinking and dining services at many of the public courses.

As well as the public courses the Gold Coast is home to many golf resorts complete with luxurious accommodation and spa facilities and excellent golf courses. Most of the resorts have their own top class pro shops located near the resort courses.

Many Gold Coast resorts offer courses regarded as some of the best in the world, designed by golfing greats such as Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman (who has designed a few famous courses on the Gold Coast).

Professional Golfer Adam Scott (ranked number 3 in the world at January 15, 2007) is currently the touring professional at The Palms Sanctuary Cove, one of the top Gold Coast golf courses. If you are looking for some professional advice or help with your swing you may want to have some lessons.
