Why is The Glades cooked? I played there 11 years ago but interesting.
Maybe play Sanctuary Cove or Palm Meadows.
Is The Pines, Royal Pines?

Glades got sold to Asian buyer. Course has far too many rounds played and maintenance is garbage. Played last year, came off the first green and there were four groups on the second hole. Round took almost 5 hours and the course was in crap condition. Layout is ok tho for sure.
The Pines is the private course at Sanctuary Cove. Cracker.

Well done on getting on the Grand. It's terrific.

Agree Lakelands would be the next best option. Avoid Royal Pines IMO.

My god it's terrible. Albert Park levels.

 

[Planet14]

I played the Glades last September. Greens were on the slow side as they had recently been sanded, but otherwise I though it was in really good condition.

Lakelands was restricted access due to maintenance when I was there, so we played Palmer Colonial instead, the old Paradise Springs. It was pretty good, although I would hate to be slicer, felt like every hole on the back nine had water all the way down the right.

Palmer Gold Coast is a joke. Worst kind of tricked up resort course.

Gone Critical , what happened in your pennant final?

 

[Crimson Azure]

34 points yesterday with three zero point holes and five, yes five 8's. Two OOB's really cost me.

104 off the stick and down to 28.9 handicap. Still need to get a few lessons though.

Still haven't cracked 100!

100 once, 101 and 102 two times.

You don’t like Royal Pines?
Palm Meadows was alright when I played it 5 years ago. Very tight fairways though.

The Grand is a belter. Played it last year and can’t wait to get back.

Why avoid Royal Pines? They have tournaments there. It was next on the list.

It's not a great redesign. G Marsh tried to make it unbelievably difficult around every green (so people no longer went low in the tournament). And the bunkering is pretty frightful.

Before the redesign I got 38 points there off a handicap of 19 with countless three putts. After the redesign, I had 23 points there and three putts would’ve been a pleasure. A fair few greens had 3 tiers an of course I was two tiers off the pin placement each time.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

37pts at St Andrews today, and believe it or not i'm a little disappointed.
Was striking the ball as well as i have in years, but the short stick let me down.
Should've been an all time round.

Some of the greens were pretty average, in particular 16 was terrible.
Course conditioning has been better, but still a great track.

15/16/17 shocking holes

 

[Bicco]

1 over in the monthly medal today, playing to 7. Just couldn't get a birdie. Played very solid golf. Beat all of the cricketers so that was good. A flag score dropped off my handicap, so at 6.4 now.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

36 pts today in 1st rd of club champs.
Couple of brain fades ( confusing ambition with ability) cost me a score nearer to 40.
3 inches from my 1st hole in one

 

[Livonski]

DQ’d in monthly medal.
Long story but #15 got me. Par 3 up the hill. Pushed 7 iron right into bracken between bunkers, hacked into bunker then sculled over the green, lost. Dropped, chipped, thinned one back over green, couple more chips up the hill, rolled back to me. Picked it up.

Ps. Hit a provisional ball off the tee to 20ft. If only I’d lost the first one.

There are times when best not to put too much effort into looking for the first ball.

 

[peternorth]

horrible round. first game a in few weeks and it showed. duffing irons and chips. But got slightly better as the round went on. wasnt too pissed off given havent touched a club for a while. i think i had 24 points which was interesting because i had 8 points on the first 9.

 

[iDon]

36 points at St Andrews.

5 after 6 holes. We then went to work. 6 birdie putts from within 5m. Didn't drop one.

Flattening really after that.

HC into 13.2

How did play the 2nd? Did you go for gold or lay up?

Went for it, toe'd my 4 - iron and it rolled back into the pot bunker.

One of many mistakes early.

I'm also on the lookout for a course to play on the Gold Coast in May.

Only have time for the 1 round and will need to hire clubs, proximity wise these look the easiest to my accomodation:

Southport Golf Club, Surfers Paradise, Lakelands, Emerald Lakes, RACV Royal Pines

My mate who was up there recently and is into golf architecture said Surfers Paradise GC is surprisingly decent.

Think he said Burleigh Heads was an ok track too.

Best thing about QLD golf is the weather. You know you'll be donning shorts and a polo all day!!!

Surfers Paradise isn’t a bad track. Lighter on the back pocket as well.
It’s funny how it’s called Surfers Paradise Golf Club but it’s located pretty well in Broadbeach.

You can play golf in South East Queensland all year round.
