When I’m not out on surf patrol or training for competition with the Northclifffe Surf Life Saving Club, I love to get out and hit a few balls at any one of the many golf courses stretching across the Gold Coast.
There are hundreds of courses available to tempt golfers of all capabilities and listed below are some of my favourites.
1) Lakelands Golf Course. Jack Nicklaus designed. Lakelands is always immaculately presented and has great facilities. It provides a great overall golfing experience.
2) Hope Island Golf Course is definitely a thinking golfer's course. It has 128 pot style bunkers and no shortage of water hazards. The greens are undulating and fast. My favourite hole is the par 3, 17th. If you decide to go for the green it is 180m over the water to the pin.
3) The Glades Golf Course. Designed by Greg Norman. The Glades is another course that is always immaculately presented with plenty of bunkers and water hazards found on nearly every hole. The greens offer a true putting surface.
4) Royal Pines Golf Course offers a 27-hole composite course. Undulating terrain both on the green and fairways will test the best of golfers. The fairways are very tight and provide a great challenge.
5) Sanctuary Cove, The Palms Golf Course is a resort style course that has a great mix of lakes and bunkers which will challenge golfers of all levels. It is a very well manicured course with great old Palm trees lining the course. My favourite holes are the par 4, 7th which has a green surrounded by water, the 9th which is a long, uphill par 3 over water, plus the par 5, 18th which requires great course management to stay out of trouble.

I've had a bad day at the golf course is better than a bad day at the office experience at Royal Palms. The Girlfest golf tourney was held there with 50 lesbians from Australia competing.
Thanks for the tips of where else to try my above par skills, Shannon :>)
