Lunch at Wollongong Golf Club, wait times for meals were on the long side. Meals were good but on the pricey side, 55$ for steak, 27$ for bangers and mash.
Outlook is fantastic.

Great service, lovely menu. Wonderful meals
Yesterday 14 April, I had lunch with my family. I ate a burger. I got food poisoning and have been vomiting and with diarrhoea not stop since yesterday. Also, the burger was tiny, nothing to do with burger they used to prepare before. I also order a guacamole and it arrived after the burger when the guacamole should have been served before the burger. Disappointing service! And now sick like never for eating in this place.
Beautiful course. Fairways were immaculate. Great course layout.
Would definately play again. Caught the greens on a bad week I think as they were a bit patchy.

A small group visited and the events staff saved us a long table with a nice view over the course. The service and the hot snacks we ordered were really good. Looking forward to visiting again.
Food is very good. Kids annoying!! Running around yelling @ screaming. Parents not bothered. Wasn't a great place for a catch-up with friends. Couldn't hear each other talk. About time management stepped in @ asked parents to control their kids!!
A great club, great facilities, seaside location.
The club has a playground for kids. Beer is cold and food was great

I managed to snag a great deal on the golfnow app, $39.99 for 18 holes walking. The current condition of the course is excellent, the fairways have plenty of grass, and the greens are in excellent condition ! I highly recommend getting a round in with the current conditions
Beautiful setting with great food and service. Staff were friendly and helpful and spacious rooms that were comfortable and clean.
Decent indoor mini golf. Fairly challenging. Nice slushy too in this hot weather!
This pleasant little club boasts great views and facilities. The staff are inviting and friendly and the food choice and quality is amazing. A must for a quick or long lunch. Great course as well
Very friendly staff at the pro shop and very accommodating with the tee times to fit in with the inclimate weather. Course itself was good fun for a 18 handicapper like myself with some challenging approaches to the greens. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Staff are great, friendly, and very professional.
The course is in great condition, and greens are soft and responsive.
The only comment is that people playing, please fix your divots on the greens.

I went expecting to play on a world class course but it was a very below average experience. the greens were pathetic,dints everywhere and double booking t times was a mess. Overall for $90 to play on this course was a let down.👎
Played Friday morning and was so disappointed. $90 for a round of 18 and the greens were pathetic, divots, thatched grass patches and dirt patches was very underwhelming. Also slow play due to over booking tee times.
Great course and young fella in the pro shop is gold !! 48 years as a golfer I've never seen so many un-repaired pitch marks, it's heartbreaking.
Great course and greens. Very challenging, lost 5 balls (into the drink) on the entire round, top notch championship course.
Birthday lunch with mum and other family members here was great. Food fabulous, the best salt and pepper squid (entree size) I've ever had anywhere. Dessert was a bit lacklustre, but service and venue worth another visit.
Not like it once was. However, weather has been a big factor! A friend and I tee'd off 3pm last Friday and managed to get 18 holes in before it got too dark. Unfortunately, all the bunkers were out of play, and they had a temporary green on the 4th, but what most disappointment was the lack of golfers repairing their own divots and pitch marks on all greens and fairways, because of this, putting on all the greens became like an obstacle course!
I can't wait until we have a bout of fine weather, which can hopefully allow grounds staff to bring this course back to its former glory.
The course has a super layout with many challenging holes. There were glimpses of that out here today, let's hope it returns to its all-out glory.
I paid $69 for 18holes walking, which is a little steep for the current course conditions. If it was in its former glorious condition, this would be a bargain!

A premier golf course that was in top condition. Avoid the sandy waste areas on the front 9 and water on the back 9
Good coffee and food available.

First time visitor (playing 9 holes).
Impressive. Course in good condition. Well kept fairways and light rough. Greens quick and even. Enough parking. Good tempo for play. No holdups.
Not as long as courses we tend to play and could be less expensive! But overall, we did enjoy our (short) round!

Great view over the golf course to the ocean. Service was fantastic and a great assortment of excellent quality meals.
Malvern Valley Public Golf Course is a very nice golf course between the Gardiners Creek, Glen Waverley Railway Line and the Monash Freeway. The course consists of the front 9 holes which are on the Eastern side of the course and the back 9 holes which are on the Western side of the course. Bookings are required to play on the Malvern Valley Public Golf Course. Overall it is a very nice course and would recommend!
Awesome course. We played mini golf, very fun levels unlike any other mini golf I've been to.
My friends and I had lunch at The Deck on Friday 19th, January. Everyone of us had a delicious meal that was beautifully presented. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were very friendly and attentive to any of our needs or requests. We will definitely sine here again.
Turned on the hot water in the break room and was told we couldn’t have a scoop of instant coffee and hot water as for golf members only - after we paid $60 for a round of mini golf for 3 people. In customer service you’re better off letting somethings go …
Course is great. Club personnel treat guests very differently.
Always good staying at the 19th Hole Best Westin Wollongong. However the rooms need an upgrade. Curtains had holes in them. We were moved to a new room as the ac wasn't working due to storm damages. The new room was smaller than the original.
We came here for my works Christmas party. What a beautiful setting and great area for functions.
The foods provided were amazing, both in looks, taste and quantity.

Beautiful Golf course....especially the back 9. Pay special attention on hole no 17 and 18 both considered as the best. Especially the hole #18 was rewarded as Top 500 hole in the world by Golf Magazine. I got a par at that Hole. Booking was easy I took the twilligjt 18 hole with cart at $50 Worth the price. The pace of play a bit slow but doable to finish before dark. Met couple of Members they are nice people. Prostaff was very profesional. Highly recommended course to play in Gold Coast. Thank you Palm Meadow for ghe best golf experience. Will be back for more
Great club, awesome meals and awesome staff... Wednesday two for one parmy nights are the best 👌
Great to be back as a spectator @ The Aus Open 23, Joined The Lakes November 1983,many memorable memories & a great association with so many great staff & members , truly a special place in my heart First Hole -in-One on the 18th , 1996 Junior Champion, Represented in Eric Apperley & junior Pennants. Cherished Memories🏌♂️⛳️
This Golf Club is a fully private golf club, in saying that, I was able to make a brief visit to see the course getting prepared for the Australian Open Golf.
I went to the pro shop, the staff were very friendly and helpful with my purchases of special ball markers. I was able to have a quick walk around. This place is awesome.
I would love to come and play a game here as a guest of a member one day.

A great public suburban golf course. Plays long enough, well maintained. Good golf shop. The staff a on the ball.
Challenging championship course.
Fairway bunkers and long water hazards strategically placed. Need to be accurate off the tee especially on the front nine. Greens are soft and not too fast at the moment. I enjoyed the challenge. The 18th hole is renowned for its 2 water hazards and elevated green. Fees are reasonable for a course of this quality. The only down side is some visitors don't fix their pitch marks or rake bunkers which is annoying. Pro Shop staff are friendly and helpful

What a test of golf🏆 This is a par 72. The Lakes Golf Club stands out as one of Australia's premier private clubs and a top-tier tournament venue. Hosting prestigious events like the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2018 2023 Men's Australian Opens, it offers golfers a chance to play on one of the country's most renowned layouts. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Sydney CBD and 10 minutes from Sydney’s Kingsford Smith airport. The Lakes Golf Club is strategically positioned within the Botany Water Reserve. Hosting major events like the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2018 and this years 2023 overall 8 Men's Australian Opens, this private club provides golfers with the opportunity to experience one of Australia's most famous layouts. The back nine is one of the best in the world featuring 3 par 5’s with water hazards everywhere. 4 par 4’s and 2 par 3’s which require the average golfer to hit a hybrid or more. Corporate events are welcome on Mondays and Thursdays. The food is outstanding for a golf club and can rival most restaurants. There are specials on the menu every week and they are always a good option. I would suggest a round with a member as local knowledge makes the world of difference because when the wind gets up you may need 2 or 3 more or less clubs on anyone shot. The staff are knowledgable and are super friendly and finally a golf pro shop full of those keepsakes from your most memorable visit. There is a full driving range and the pro shop will organise a bucket of balls for a small fee.
We had our wedding here and the whole process and on the day, staff were so friendly, warm and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
Fantastic club and one of the best golf courses I’ve been to. Service is second to none and the facilities are very impressive. The cafe / restaurant here is very good too although a bit on the expensive side. I hear the membership fees here are also fairly dear but it is a top notch course so I’d recommend a visit if you can afford it.
Great place to have private functions...Our company has a yearly charity golf day..
Friendly,helpful staff that will assist you in planning your event.
Good for just having a round of golf as a one off,or regular thing.
Plenty of kangaroos around the course who don't seem to be bothered at all by anything.
Toilets and showers underneath the clubhouse with a lounge area. A nice touch I thought was complimentary deodorants.

My favourite local course. Well run and maintained. Always friendly staff too.
If you’re into golf and have a day off, this place is heaven. If you’re not, it’s a lush country club with full event facilities. Brilliant.
My son and his now wife celebrated their wedding here recently. As a guest, the whole event went off beautifully. Yes still some areas under renovation, but a great vibe with plenty of space, stunning gardens, unobtrusive and professional staff, and a fabulous menu beautifully presented. Well done IGC!
Played 18 hole here yesterday and was very surprised at the condition of the course, especially the greens. On previous visits, the greens have not been so good, but this time, they were very good. It's still tough when playing an unfamiliar course but a good test.
Challenging course with narrow and meandering fairways with a couple of water hazards. Tee boxes aren’t maintained well though but I don’t blame the groundskeeper as the flight before us were practicing and created a dozen divots without repairing any. Couldn’t find white tee boxes on quite a few holes so that took up some of our time.
All in all it was an enjoyable game in spite of the tee boxes.

Participated in a wedding here over the weekend. Sophie, Rudy and her team were absolutely flawless. Critical as I am, could not fault the team and the quality of service delivered.
Have worked in the hospitality industry for 8+ years inclusive of fine dining.
Would STRONGLY recommend this venue for a weddeing reception and ceremony.

Great golf coarse with a challenging layout. The pro shop staff are very helpful and polite. Lots of kangaroos on throughout the grounds which adds to the experience. Highly recommended for a social game at a reasonable price with a buggy.
Enjoyable 18-hole course with good pro shop, putting green, and practice nets. Also has a good spot for a pre/post pie and beer in the sun. Was in good condition when played Sep23
I must say, I haven't played here for a while and was amazed at how good the coarse is. Terry and Beck were so friendly and even the coffee and tea was great. Such great value for money. Well done
Lovely and challenging course off the back tees. Great food options too in the clubhouse.
Purchased a Clicgear push cart from the pro shop yesterday. Believe I was served by Joe and Peter who provided some of the best customer service I've experienced. Very accomodating and helpful, thanks gents.
Another Greg Norman design that doesn’t disappoint and makes you really think about club selection on many holes. Course was in great condition when we played though tee position was a bit too far forward. It looked like a totally different challenge from the back tees. Really enjoyed playing here. Only small negative was that the clubhouse kitchen is not open all afternoon so there’s no guarantee of a meal after your round. Pity as the food is actually very nice.
One of the best courses I've played on, loved it, service was awesome, guys in pro shop super helpful.
Accommodating to a big group (Social Club) -side note: got the hurry on was running 20mins behind but had noone behind us we ended up finishing on time. Other then that was an Awesome day out, recommend it to anyone who hasn't played there you have to get to the Glades😁

The perfect wedding venue! A stunning ceremony space, with gorgeous greens for photos, I can’t recommend this venue enough. Rudy was very organised and accomodating throughout the planning process and always had a smile.
Great centre. Reasonable price, some people waiting to tee up, but not too bad.
Unfortunately, my partner and his friends experienced unfair and dismissive behaviour from staff yesterday and we will not be returning. My partners group had booked a double slot and started on time. Despite going at a good pace, staff rushed them to finish as a group behind had started earlier than THEIR booking. This other group had also hit a ball towards my partners group intentionally, almost hitting one member. when raised with the staff, the staff also brushed this behaviour off and said "they've been coming here 20 years". Now, this should not have to be stated, but two boys in my partners group have disabilities affecting their mobility, so they could not move faster despite the fact that their group was playing within their paid time slot at a good pace. Not only did the staff dismiss bullying behaviour by other patrons, but they also made my partners group feel hurried and they couldn't enjoy their day, and those with disabilities felt discriminated against. this is not an inclusive or friendly course, and I encourage staff to consider the principles of equity and respect towards everyone, not just those who have been there a long time. We all need to start somewhere. Very disappointing behaviour.
Fantastic and friendly small golf course. Always willing to help. Had to cancel because of personal circumstances within 5 hours of playing, received a full refund. Highly recommend this golf course in Dingley Village.
Beautiful club.. well maintained grounds and great food. Best in the area if you are looking to join a golf club locally.
Course is in top condition and playing well. Greens are smooth and fast. Only 2 greens need a bit more work. Members and guests only. The post game food and snacks are top shelf.
What a wedding location, and what a team of incredible hosts! We highly recommend the Brisbane Golf Club and Rudy's Team! Our wedding at the Brisbane Golf Club was everything we wanted. From incredible flowering Jacaranda trees, beautiful rolling green hills, stunning private ceremony area and a heritage listed reception building - what more can you ask for. This place has this and SO much more. We loved how immaculate the team keep the grounds and the event areas, the extensive drinks options, the beautiful evening lighting and don't get us started on the FOOD - OMG!!
We didn't feel alone planning our wedding as Rudy was always responding to our emails and texts and went above and beyond to make everything perfect!
They also have flexible wedding plans that allowed us to keep it within our budget. We were even able to bring a lot of our own decorations & signs that the team set up for us. As well as even having a salsa show & mariachi's that they helped keep a secret from our guests!

Just had our lovely wedding reception here. Rudy has been so helpful and made the process a lot easier for us. The staff were all helpful and friendly and looked after grandma impeccably. The golf course was beautiful and the photography while we were there is stunning.
Wow. The landscaping and maintenance of this location is immaculate. An excellent place for weddings in particular with pristine photo opportunities and the views over the course is both relaxing and inspiring.
A really good venue, due to the staff. As a guest of the normally private members club, was treated really well by staff. The course has held up well while upgrades are in process - but I look forward to returning when they are complete. If we lived closer I would consider membership. A really decent golf offering for Brisbane.
Palm Meadows Golf Course is just gorgeous and we are so grateful to of had our wedding here! Melissa and the team were so easy to deal with, to book and arrange the wedding ceremony and rehearsal the day before. We got married on the 10th tee, decorated by 'Circle of Love Weddings' and enjoyed an hour out on the golf buggies getting our wedding photos which may of just been the highlight of our day! While we were getting photos our guests enjoyed watching the sunset from the clubhouse and played giant games. So serene!
Thankyou so much for making our day so special .

From our first meeting with Rudy at the Brisbane Golf Club, we were taken care of – Rudy and all of the staff at the Brisbane Golf Club demonstrated excellent customer service and a genuine desire to make our winter wedding experience the best that it could be.
Rudy frequently went out of his way to help us with questions and concerns, and made sure that anything we needed was taken care of up to and beyond our wedding day, even personally staying well past midnight to make sure that everything ran smoothly.
The staff and décor stylist had to do some last minute decoration changes due to the wet weather in July and did an amazing job. A special mention to the executive chef Joshua Williams, for accomodating for our food requests and for his delicious menu. The food was raved about by all our guests.
Highly recommend the Brisbane Golf Club as a wedding venue.

Grat day of golf good to get out with nature plus best I've played in ages
My sister took me to the Riversdale Golf Club for lunch
I was looking forward to a meal with great punch
The roast of the day was superb
It was seasoned well with many a herb
The fish of the day was fresh and crunchy
I was glad I was feeling real munchy
With beautiful green views before me
The whole experience left me with glee!

Love this place! Don't tell anyone!!! It's sooooooooo good for get all your game needs.
The Glades Golf Club is an amazing golf course. The fairways are just stunning and the greens are just as good. Plenty of challenges on each hole for all levels. Was such a beautiful day out. The club house is really nice and the staff were really friendly. Great golf course for a weekend round. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.
Enjoyed the course. Challenging but fair. Bunkers weren’t in great shape due to rains. I got to check out way too many!! Lots of beautiful landscaping and wildlife. For this transplanted Canadian the kangaroos are always exciting to see. Easy to get to. Lots of parking. Friendly and helpful staff.
The view of the river from this place was phenomenal. The green was well kept and looked after. Seemed to have a few people around the place but never felt uncomfortable with others around. The only downside was the number of kangaroos. There were about 100 in one group... no over exaggeration.
Will definitely be back
Will definitely be back
Great course, well kept, good price. The holes vary with difficulty which keeps the game interesting. Some beautiful elevated tees, water hazards and bunkers well placed to ensure you pull all the tricks out of the hat. Golf buggies seem really new and were great to drive around in.
Always love doing weddings here.
Nice big room.Claire and the rest of the staff make it a great experience.
Definitely check it out if your looking for a wedding venue.

Lovely friendly staff with coffee facilities, small pro shop and clean toilets.
The course is great for beginners with a few par 4s. Very scenic and fortunately not too much water ! Gets busy as great value for money

We had our wedding here and it was perfect. Through the whole process and on the day, staff were so friendly, warm and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The grounds are gorgeous and the food is delicious. Cannot speak highly enough of IGC.
Absolutely love the Australian setting of this course.It's just beautiful with the kangaroos just laying around. Also the course itself is in very good condition, with all the fairways lovely and green.
A fabulous place for a wedding ceremony. The wedding area lawn is immaculate and the events team are true professionals. I appreciate working with great people. Thanks, Andrew Sinclair Brisbane Marriage Celebrant
BUSY! This place is busy af, even mid week.
The course has mostly very narrow holes which are challenging, and the bunkers are super deep! Some even have stairs.
I'll be back because its close, but there are better maintained courses nearby that are no where near as busy. Lost quite a few balls there today too.

Great short game practice
Very short par 3s but mini golf is good
Malvern Valley public golf course was great price and very friendly service. The course it self well the tee off boxes quite ordinary the fairways green most times had good lie as for the greens good size well maintained. Very slow play when we played and people’s common sense to let other players through, well there just wasn’t any.
A great public course. Fairways and greens kept in good condition ⛳️🏌️🏻♂️
🥧 Good range of food, pies, sausage rolls, sandwiches.
💰 Well priced for 9 & 18 for a good course.
🤵 Nice and friendly staff.
🏎 Plenty of parking outside.

Not too bad, a good budget course to whack a few balls... Into the water...
One of the best mini golf courses around! Amazing value. The themes are elaborately presented and great for the kids.
A pretty course with some challenging holes, I appreciated collecting a cart with an esky full of ice on a warm day. The first few holes need better signage to keep you on track, and areas where the carts can't go need to be better identified. Aside from that it was a very enjoyable visit.
Lovely restaurant with a beautiful view, willing to cater for food intolerances. The staff here really take care of my dad (he is a member) and are always friendly and welcoming to myself and my partner as his guests.
Low stress attitude and good value. Tight but short course in good condition. Interesting and worthwhile.
I don't play golf but I've been here a few times for work functions. I walked through the grounds taking photos and I enjoyed the wonderful food served here at breakfast and lunch. The staff are accommodating and the grounds are amazing.
