Our two championship courses, The Kurrai (sunset) and The Bulka (sunrise), reflect our commitment to blending tradition with innovation. With a rich history spanning nearly a century, we've maintained a reputation as 'the friendly club' through our inclusive community and dedication to golf excellence. Our state-of-the-art facilities include a 300-metre driving range, dedicated teaching professionals, and modern clubhouse amenities. We cater to all skill levels through competitive pennant programs, social golf groups, and tailored instruction.

Tough to enjoy without a range finder at the moment. Phone apps don't work, watches don't work, and no meterage signage.
Par 3's and you have no idea if it's 100m or 180m (apart from guesswork). Map given is horrible with zero info. I have no doubt this will be an awesome course when finished, but for the next 6 months it is only for locals.

Pro Trainee name Jamie's customer service was very poor. Very unwelcoming as I was planning to join here membership. He seems like a very stiff guy and looked like he hated his job. Just his attitude and the tone was not appropriate for customers here who are trying to have a great time at Nudgee. Unpleasant experience today at Nudgee. Disappointed. Won't come back.

Course is under construction to a new layout; holes 19 - 27 were not great. A few holes are finished but four par 3s and tee boxes average. There is potential when reno is complete but at this stage $55 for 9 with a cart made me feel very underwhelmed by the experience. Maybe I was charged for 18 (340pm tee off); will be a long long time before I will return

Course is undergoing renovations due to resumption of land. New holes are amazing Once completed it will be the best course in Queensland Still playable and worth the visit, especially if you play the new holes on the old south course. Even more enjoyable now that you won't run into Ross Spring.
