Venue

Gailes Golf Club

Wilruna Street

Queensland, Australia

Gailes Golf Club is located in the Western Suburbs of Brisbane and is one of only three Queensland clubs to have hosted the Australian Open. Founded in 1924, the course is an attractive, highly-rated parkland layout with minimal water carries, making it arguably the best wet weather course in Brisbane. The course employs 328 grass on the greens and Wintergreen on the fairways and tees, with fairway surfaces maintained to a high standard by the course superintendent. The well-presented parkland setting provides a welcoming experience for both members and guests. The club hosts significant tournaments including the Bobby Locke Junior Classic, named after the 1955 Australian Open winner who played at Gailes, and participates in the Western Suburbs Challenge alongside Oxley, Wolston Park, and McLeod Golf Clubs. The course is regarded as one of Queensland's premier golf facilities.
