The Brisbane Golf Club Inc. ☆ Follow

The Brisbane Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course located in Tennyson Memorial Avenue, Yeerongpilly, Queensland. Established in 1896, the club is a premier golfing destination thanks to the vision of its founding members. Originally established in the nearby suburb of Chelmer, vital residential development forced the committee to seek a new home, and eight years later Scottish immigrant Carnegie Clark designed the first layout on the current property. The 18-hole championship golf course has been influenced over time by course architects including Carnegie Clark, Dr. Alastair MacKenzie, Wayne Grady, Ross Watson and more recently Paul Mogford, and is currently listed in the Top 100 in Australia according to Golf Australia and Australian Golf Digest Magazines.

From the blue tees the 18-hole layout is a par 72, 6,105 metres for women and 6,676 metres for men, with a Slope of 130. After the devastating floods of 2011, the club decided to convert all its greens to Champion ultradwarf Bermuda grass, beginning in 2012 and taking three years to resurface all 21 holes. It remains the only course in Australia with the Champion grass surface. Oxley Creek, a tributary of the Brisbane River, cuts through the course, while Moolabin Creek flows into the eastern edge. Water comes into play on 12 holes across the property. The course has hosted the Queensland Open 21 times and is described as always being in super condition and a genuine challenge.
