Report
The Royal Queensland Golf Club was founded in 1920 by a group of prominent citizens of Brisbane who obtained a lease of land occupying 420 acres (in today's terms 170 hectares) - since reduced to around 240 acres (97 hectares) - fronting the Brisbane River in an area known as Parker Island. The original course was designed by Carnegie Clark, the Australian Open Champion of the day, and was opened by the Governor-General Lord Forster in 1921.
Hole
Report
A long Par 4 with a waste bunker area all the way along the right hand side and encroaching into the fairway in the driving area. The best approach to the green is gained from a shot placed as close as possible to this wasteland. Anything to the left will have to carry bunkers, both short of the green and at the greenside.
Hole
Report
The 5th is an interesting hole - probably more interesting than it appears at first glance. It has a very wide fairway, but only a narrow strip of fairway to hit if the player is to have the ideal second shot. Anything too far right results in a very difficult angle across the greenside bunkers, and anyone left and short of the large fairway bunker faces a blind shot, albeit with a much better angle.
Hole
Report
On the tee the golfer sees a wide expanse of fairway on either side of the large bunker complex in the middle of the fairway, with the left hand side defined by tidal wetlands. It is after the drive however where this hole becomes much more interesting. For the second shot, the left hand side of the hole is guarded by a Hazard, and the majority of the right hand side is bordered by wetlands.
Hole
Report
This short Par 4 offers the golfer a range of options. It can be legitimately played with any one of a number of clubs from the tee, with the preferred line from the tee very much dependent on the wind and pin position. The green is reachable for the longer hitters provided they can hit a very accurate tee shot down the left hand side.
