Pines Course

The Pines Golf Course is Australia's only Arnold Palmer signature course and is recognized as one of the country's best and most challenging layouts. Carved through 101 hectares of established pine forest near Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast, the course features distinctive corridor approaches to several holes with lakes guarding others. Fourteen holes are contoured around six man-made lakes, creating a dramatic setting. The course offers a scratch rating of 76 from the black tees and 73 from the blue tees, presenting a significant test of skill. The natural landscape is enhanced by abundant wildlife, including rare bird species and native Australian kangaroos. The strategic use of water hazards, pine forest corridors, and contoured terrain throughout the design creates a challenging and visually distinctive golfing experience that has earned endorsement from notable professionals in the sport.
