Played Palmer Gold Coast (Robina Woods) 15/2/17. Very picturesque course. Reminiscent of Brookwater but was designed many years before. Course was in very good condition. Bear in mind this is a very tough, unforgiving course if you don't hit it straight. A really nice surprise. THANKS CLIVE PALMER!!!! **** Rating of the course, clubhouse & staff 4/5. Rating of the range 2/5- so sad to see the previous golf academy site in a bad state. Messy, disorganized & dingy pro shop, **** everywhere, grass tees were awful. Someone needs to take some pride in the range & tidy the place up.

Would definitely play the course again though (& avoid the range).

I was very impressed with this course. It's mature, amazing tree-lined holes, undulating fairways & greens, good condition, and very challenging.

It's been a couple of years since I played this course and it's feeling quite tired now. The layout is great, the greens are true, but the maintenance in certain areas is letting it down. That said, if you can get one of the cheaper booking times it is ok value for money.

According to iseek there were no bookings within an hour and a half. Got there 2 groups waiting on first tee and by the time wee teed off another 2 groups waiting behind.asked if we could start on back nine,guy in pro shop just laughed and said that's golf.members told suit had been busy when they booked at pro shop 2 days prior, obviously they are conning iseek.course really nice but day spoilt by ignorant pro shop staff more than anything .will not visit again and I am local.

Had a great day, challenging course but for the price we had a 5 star experience

Course was in very good condition in general. Some of the bunkers where a little shy of sand which made them difficult to get up and down from. Greens where true and consistent. Course management definitely a key here to post a reasonable score. For a first timer here, must say disappointed that there is no GPS on the cart, very little sprinkler head markings making distance into the greens difficult without your own device.(they did have 150m distance poles on every hole.

jordanjames

The course was in perfect condition, absolutely immaculate, incredibly good layout, beautiful hills and nice bunkers with soft sand, this course has the feel of a luxury course without the price tag, the greens were ridiculously fast and smooth so it made it near impossible to get back spin working like usual, but all in all I fell in love with the course. Seriously considering becoming a member.

11 Oct 2015

bonzee

Course in good condition. Greens real quick. Better to play later in the day because of the heat and the many groups of 4! Great value at $45! Will definitely play here again as SO challenging.

kmurphy3

The course was in excellent condition, with the greens challenging and the fairways narrow in places. The staff was very friendly and the carts well equipped. There are a lot of blind shots with hidden water holes and lakes hiding over ridges and behind bushland so it pays to have a look before blasting away.

13 Sep 2015

swalichet

Great value at $45 for 18 holes. One of the tees has been replaced by an artificial surface. On one hole a lot of trees have been cut down on the left side of the fairway and all of the debris has been left behind. The cart paths need repairing. Greens are good and fairways not bad.

Just loved the course. I played the course about 5 years ago and always wanted to return. I'm glad I did. The course was in excellent condition. The greens were pristine. The staff including groundsmen were friendly. Loved the layout of the course. Enjoyed the game immensely.

01 Sep 2015

gpickering

Brand new golf buggies, beautifully manicured greens and fairways. Very narrow on some fairways and lots of blind water obstacles. Definitely worth reading the card before playing each hole. If you slice or hook badly then take plenty of extra balls. Very challenging, loved it. Reasonable pricing too.

Very good course, interesting and challenginmg

Played this course a lot back in early 2000's and was always a favorite. New carts were awesome with plenty of storage and comfortable. Not all sprinkler heads had yardage and no distance markers on the sides of fairways (plate sized coloured distance markers on centre of fairways). There looked like a lot of work being done in the surrounding bushland and bunkers were ok. That said, play this course if you get the chance as it will test your game and provide plenty of fun. The last few holes are great risk/reward for those close finishes.

12 Aug 2015

phemolabr

Bit confused with satnav not knowing that Robina Woods is Palmer Gold Coast. Glad we got there as the course was in good condition, set amoung the trees to provide an attractive round. Enjoyed the golf, the people and the weather.

08 Aug 2015

sonic15

First time playing there and the course has a nice layout, fairly tight but still enjoyable. Greens were very good and fairly quick. Tee boxes a lot of them seemed to stay wet which is hard to tee off. All 8 of us enjoyed it but all scored more than normal so I guess if was a little tricky on some holes. Would play there again.

03 Aug 2015

Always a great course to play. Nice staff, new carts were a nice change and the course was in good condition. Some of the best greens going around

FIRST TIME OUR GROUP HAVE PLAYED UNDER THE PALMER FLAG BUT VERY PLEASED WITH THE EXPERIENCE. GREENS AND FAIRWAYS WERE IN GREAT CONDITION BUT THE TEES WERE OBVIOUSLY UNDER REPAIR. STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AS THEY ARRANGED A GAME FOR US LATER IN THE WEEK ( MID JUNE ) BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.

09 Jul 2015

tamejosar

I have not played Palmer Gold Coast since it became a Palmer course. We tee'd off early and had the course to ourselves.The tee boxes were in poor condition and the greens had been dusted and no-one advised us prior to teeing off. The cart paths are in need of repair. It was a nice surprise to be offered a free club sandwich after the round, however the outside dining area is filthy littered with cigarette butts and rubbish. I won't rush back.

08 Jul 2015

kreeve

WOW, haven't been here in a while but in great shape. Greens rolled very true and were slick. Tees and fairways like carpet and look like they are doing plenty of work in the trees and gardens since I was here last. Good value

03 Jul 2015

riridispi

Great course, good condition considering the rain in recent days. Carts only on paths though, which was fine. Course was pretty much empty and had very quick play as a result. No drinks cart seen though.

Enjoyed the day very much. Pro shop and bar staff friendly and helpful and the course was in great condition.

As it always has been, this course was in top nick. Greens fast and true, fairways short and even. Speed of play was good, (4hours with 4 choppers). Can not fault it.

27 Apr 2015

Excellent course in really good condition. The fairways and greens were beautiful to play off, bunkers had plenty of sand. Very reasonable price for a course this good.

Best golf course on the coast

Really liked this course. Have played it before but not for a while and I didn't realise just what a good course it is. Two distinct nines,very good condition and so many interesting and challenging holes.

15 Apr 2015

riridispi

Game delayed from Sat to Sunday due to wet weather on Friday. Course were very accommodating to rearrange for Sun am, same tee time. Course was in great condition considering the wet weather experienced not 48hrs earlier. Some holes still had some flood debris on the fairways but this was only to be expected. A very challenging course with tight fairways on the front 9 opening out on the early / mid back nine. A great selection of holes with elevated and lower greens and undulating fairways. Will definitely play there again!

27 Jan 2015

nicko316

First time I've played this course. One of the few courses that would take a booking after terential rain (200mm+) 2 days prior. Given Royal Pines was literally under water, this course proved to be a really enjoyable substitute. $59 incl cart was great value and course in fantastic condition given the rain. Holes were narrow with gum trees lining most, a bit less forgiving for me as I'm use to playing links style courses. Greens great nick, rolled true and weren't overly big. Would have appreciated easier pin placements though. Some really great holes.

27 Jan 2015

rijafrauo

The course was in top condition after the recent storms. A bit of a hold up behind the blower machine on quite a few holes but overall we had a great round of golf. Will certainly be back.

31 Dec 2014

swikafros

First round I have played at this course and I loved it particularly the front nine with its undulating terrain and tall trees surrounding the layout. Played after two days of rain and the course was in great condition and both fairways and greens played well. Will definitely play again when visiting the coast.

30 Dec 2014

First time have played there. Enjoyed it immensely, will be back for sure.

We had a great day, haven't played Robina Woods for years. We arrived late due to traffic but the staff still got us on the course without complaint. Fairways green and in great condition, bunker had sand in them, strange for the southeast, greens were still recovering from renovation but still held the line, played from the whites and found the course a good test for my mid range handicap my wife played her best round in a year, will definitely go back.

15 Nov 2014

jbu97504

The course was fine, but the biggest issue was with the naming of the venue. There are two Palmer courses quite close to each other on the Gold Coast. I'm sure I'll not be the first person turning up to the wrong golf club to play a match. The court is also known as Robina woods so when you are checking maps it's hard to find the actual venue. Something must be done about changing the naming of the courses. I know Clive likes to put his name in everything, but commonsense must prevail

14 Nov 2014

Amazing service from the pro shop staff. Great avo of golf, course was in good nick and round was fast.

Still one of the best for $50. Greens and fairway better then good. 17th and 15th awesome holes.

The course itself was in good condition. Unfortunately everything else is well below par. No taps on course working...no toilets on course open. Driving range was not open (10am on a Sunday!) Not worth $80

24 Oct 2014

chrispritchard

Played Palmer GC (Robina Woods) teed off at 5.30am to beat the rush. The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens were dry and slightly patchy which made putting conditions tricky. The course on a whole was 100% better then last time I played there, probably due to the world amateur comp coming up, as 1 of the 4 day comp is being held there.

20 Oct 2014

jaspa88

Course has gone downhill, nothing what it used to be! Greens were terrible, double booking tee off times, slow play and no marshall in sight. Never again...

20 Oct 2014

Palmer Gold Coast provided a great test of golf. Last few holes killed my score but thats the challenge. Course was in good condition, especially fairways

16 Oct 2014

Well its the first time in a while Ive played the woods and thought it was still very good. Greens rolled well and fairways were super green with a good lie. My golf was average but had a great arvo

16 Oct 2014

uerabrase

Lovely layout but the greens are in terrible condition. Uneven and many areas with patchy growth.

14 Oct 2014

sparker56

The fat wombat has succeeded in destroying one of the great courses on the coast. Never go back, it's crap.ISEEK should take it off your list, I really should ask for my money back from you.Live wiring hanging down in the toilet just added to the day. $12.50 for one schooner and a small bottle of coke, really!! $7.50 for a plate of rock hard chips.........really? Complete trash, Palmer has ruined even the 19th hole for crap's sake, the lady at the bar said not to shoot her about the prices, so obviously she gets hammered about it daily.

09 Oct 2014

katana

Can't beat (Robina Woods) for a game when on the coast. Always challenging and in good nick. The wooded areas along fairways aren't as punishing as they once where which is great, you can actually find your ball now.Will always come back when on the coast

11 Sep 2014

swoswibri

Not the top course it once was, tees and fairways in poor condition, greens so so only, definitely over-priced at $89 per pax.

08 Sep 2014

Haven't played here for years. We'll presented and enjoyable golf course. The worst presented Palmer course is Coolum.

05 Sep 2014

niswohobr

Although Iseekgolf was showing available tee-offs all day there were heaps on the course.. Tour groups by the bus load,so play was very slow and annoying towards the end.. Course condition: Fairways were above average.. Greens were patchy and was rough in some places.. overall 6/10 only just worth the money... IT a shame they overbook..

13 Aug 2014

katana

Really enjoy playing Robina Woods or should I say Palmer Gold. Always a tough challenge. Course was very well presented in all areas with greens enjoyable to play on and not really firm like most coast courses at the moment.

07 Aug 2014

mackey

Haven't played here for at least 5 years and the course was in great shape. Greens were rolling really well but didn't help my putting. Such a great course but play was a little slow

07 Aug 2014

justinsmith

The second nine (whether it be the back nine or in our last experience the front nine) is just becomes clogged all they way. I think this is through over booking. Money grab Clive?

07 Aug 2014

mikey78

The course was in great condition. Played the first 9 in 2 hours. Went to play the next 9 and had to line up for 30mins then we were stuck behind 3 groups playing a social club comp. It took 25 mins per hole which just ruined the day. No course Marshall to be seen and when I bought this up on the pro shop they couldn't see any problem with it. Just like Palmer colonial they over booked. It must be screw the players as long as we squeeze out all the money we can. Loved the course but won't be playing there again!

28 Jul 2014

matty_bob

Very dry, course still okay considering, but busy. Group in front walking, slowing play up and group behind hitting up when still in range. Competition mixed with social play. Course and facilities very tired and not being as well maintained as previously (not in the same league as other similar rated courses), which was disappointing. No drinks cart being run, despite large number of people on course. Potentially better options for the price.

21 Jul 2014

deanobravo32

Great course in everyway, very tight requires good course management along with big accuracy off the tee especially. Definitely go back next time I'm back up that way and hopefully shoot lower off the back markers

10 Jul 2014

llicmc

One of the most beautiful courses on the Gold Coast. Challenging.

02 Jul 2014

thebeerman

Played here today and having not visited for 6 months or so was very disappointed in the greens being covered in medium to large amounts of duck/water fowl poop,along with many of the water fowl pecking at the greens and having 2 shots stopped by the mentioned birds.The greens seemed to be very patchy with assorted grasses growing into them and they seem to have not been maintained correctly hence the birdlife pecking them. Course was also damp in many areas after minimal recent rain on the gold coast. Doubt I will return in a hurry till greens improve.

25 Jun 2014

drafroher

Thoroughly enjoyed our game. We were made very welcome by local pro who spent time exposing the course. We are on Brosdbeach. Could you recommend another course for Monday and Wednesday not too challenging Thank you

14 Jun 2014

petestubbs

We played on a Sunday at 11 am and payed $59 each including cart after booking that morning through ISeekGolf. This was my first round here and I loved it. We played off the yellow tees and found many of the par 4s a real challenge off the tee as you have to shape your drives if your a long hitter or tee off with a 3 iron to avoid trouble. I think we will play the back markers next time. Great course with lots of lovely creeks and bridges. I will be booking all of my rounds now through this website as the retail price for this course is $120. Great value Great Course.

02 Jun 2014

Could not fault this course. In very good nick in particularly the greens which rolled very true and fairways were great

Another lovely day for a game of Golf, and Robina Woods (Palmer GC) Didn't disappoint once again.

Played there on 18th, course in top cond, except.greens have been cored at diff times. So some were cored last week and some 3 or 4 weeks back, very inconsent. Hold off 4weeks for greens to be alot better

Best course on the Gold Coast. Loved it . No course is looked after as well as this one and what a mgnificent layout. Play it, you'll love it.

Loved the course. Challenging without being penalising so (if you course managed).

15 Apr 2014

weetixbix

Palmer Gold Coast aka Robina Woods is a great course that I would recommend to anyone who wants to play a quality course, very well presented, scenic , and a very good golfing challenge. Every hole is different, the use of bunkers, water, and some pretty spectacular mounding makes you have to think about your shots. And the greens themselves are fast and have a lot of shape. The course presents and to some extent plays like Brookwater requiring accuracy off the tee. The green complexes are probably more challenging but are not as penal apart from where the water borders them. One of the best courses on the Coast and in South East Queensland generally.

14 Apr 2014

frauenski

Very manicured golf course widing through the residential estate. Challenging with undulations throughout, creeks in strategic positions and mature trees lining the fairways. A good variety of golf holes makes you really think your way around.

09 Apr 2014

psasco

The course was mint when we played. You forget how good this track is. Layout is really tight on the front nine and opens up a bit on the first half of the back nine but the home stretch is a killer. Course condition was fantastic with smooth, fast greens and fairways were as good as they get.

03 Apr 2014

berrgolf

Great course in very good condition. The best and nicest course we've played around the gold coast. Staff was very friendly. The changing rooms are not like the rest, they could be much better.

21 Mar 2014

davidmackay

The course was in very good condition, tee time was good with a 20min break between group in front. This was until 6 holes when it slowed down as there was a 6 ball playing two in front, come on, this should not happen anywhere. After the 9th there was nobody in the pro shop & there was no marshall.

05 Mar 2014

dudey

I have played here many times before but haven't played since it became palmers.It is a good course but this time I noticed the maintenance of the clubhouse,buggies and ball washers at tees were lacking The roof to the club is filthy as you can see coming down the hill . The buggies we had were weak in battery strength and bald tyres. Canvas coming out of them. Maintenance is a needed along the buggy paths near all the tee boxes. This is a great course but needs to be maintained more professionally. Don't let it slip anymore please it won't take much to bring it all back

03 Mar 2014

storrisi

I love this course - just so scenic and a great layout that rewards a straight drive. Played early morning and scored my best score ever. Lots of ground staff at that time but they were all very polite and accomodating. I love the view from the 18th tee over the club house to the Q1 tower however the clubhouse roof needs some maintenance.

12 Feb 2014

dannynunan

5th time playing here and I always enjoy the course. No problem with the Iseek booking and the staff were very welcoming and polite in the pro shop and clubhouse. Course was in good condition throughout.

10 Feb 2014

mancoadsimka

We turned up on time then the issues started: couldn't find the booking, once found there were no carts. The guy in the pro shop left and locked the door chasing some carts probably. While he is gone 4 other groups arrive along with the two already there, all wanting to play off the first. What a joke! The course is in good condition except 1/2 the bunkers. The pro shop or and booking needs to be sorted to run smoothly and get people off the tee at the booked time to allow play without too many hold ups.

03 Feb 2014

lizardking007

Palmer gold coast (Robina Woods) A somewhat challenging course for your average golfer but a beautiful course to play anyway. In such a flat area you wouldn't think you would find a course so undulating, which means up and down lie's making the course even more challenging. The tree's are tall and fairways mostly narrow so you need to be straight. It's one of my favourite courses on the gold coast regardless of the fact it beats me more than I beat it!! It's well run, looked after and the staff are friendly and helpful.

02 Feb 2014

andycapii

Great course and dont play there often enough...you get to use all the clubs in your bag...Even with a bit of rain from the night before the course was not boggy...greens were fast. A great course all round.

26 Jan 2014

hujarse

I always like to play Robina when I'm on the Goldy. It's a real golf course with penalties if you are wayward off the tee. The layout is great but not overly long. Yesterday the greens were pretty good and the crowd had thinned when I played so it only took 3.5 hours for my 2 ball to play. Pro shop was friendly as was the bistro/ bar afterwards. They even had live music in the bistro for entertainment. Carts aren't good and mine died as we were going down the 18th, but I'd say all course on the Gold Coast are feeling the pinch. Happy to play there again.

14 Jan 2014

Great course I will be back

12 Jan 2014

wrosarohis

a great track that is showing signs of age, the fairways and greens still in fairly good nick but needs some love!

10 Jan 2014

dovephase

The course is a challenge to anyone and I thoroughly enjoyed. Some areas around the course were a little patchy, but all in all the course is in great condition. The greens are firm, fast and can be very tough with large slopes. The rough is very thick and can be hard to play out of. Basically, you get rewarded for good shots and you get punished for bad shots! Very good course

10 Jan 2014

cocrelapr

Played Palmer Gold Coast yesterday and whilst l have read previous reviews about course condition especially bunkers l felt the course was in reasonably good condition. The tee boxes, fairways and bunkers were all in good condition however some of the greens need a good core as they looked and felt like we were putting on bitumen. The only other disappointing aspect was the green fee price of $89 which I felt was well over the odds and a price around $70 would be far more appealing to the average golfer.

09 Jan 2014

trowebroc

The course was in good condition. THe club was a little unorganised with tee off times and we were pushed to the back 9. The biggest issue was being held up by players walking the course.

06 Jan 2014

vopebrefr

Beautiful course..,very different from other GC courses. Front nine especially tight and scenic. Very nice staff as well.

04 Jan 2014

dannynunan

Great course, really like the layout and off the blue tees the front 9 is tough. I couldn't disagree more with the last review. All bunkers had plenty of sand and had been raked perfectly. All of the staff I encountered were well mannered and pleasant. I am not a member here by the way, but, I wish I was. A top notch course well worth what they charge.

03 Jan 2014

rolltherock

Played this course for the first time last week. Excellent front nine layout and finishing holes. The early holes on the back nine having emerged from the forest are however quite bland. The greens were patchy looking but rolled well. The staff in the pro shop and on the course conveyed disinterest. What prompted me to write this review was the state of the bunkers. They screamed zero maintenance and looked like a herd of wildebeest had just completed the great migration through them. Unplayable lies in cavernous footmarks were very disappointing for a course in this price range.

02 Jan 2014

dobratroc

Nice course with some challenging holes. Should be compulsory for everyone to take a cart as the groups in front walking made it very slow going and ruined the experience for me.

28 Dec 2013

Played early to avoid the hold ups. Love the course. Staff were good. Great morning had by the 2 of us, got around in under 4 hours.

Played early in the morning and got around in less than three hours. The course was in great shape and I enjoyed every hole. It really is one of the best courses on the coast.

20 Dec 2013

mike99

Played here twice in the past few days, i love this course. It is scenic and layed out in a way that makes you think about shot selection. The course is in grest condition with green fairways and lush rough. The greens are hard and quick like many of the goldcoast courses but they are interesting in shape and pin placements.

27 Nov 2013

chipperslice

I do like this course. I've only played it about 3 times & it usually blows my score card way up every time, but that's why I've come back because it's a challenge.I played better yesterday even though the course was a little wet after rain in the last 24 hrs.Tee'd off at 2:30 pm so the price was just $39 which for this course is quite reasonable. The greens were running well just the fairways in places were so soft a well driven ball was just stopping dead. Bunkers played well. A little bit of traffic on course wasn't a problem but towards the end of the round, the last 4 holes, it became a little congested. I am not a handicap player & have only been playing for less than 2 years, but I managed to birdy the last hole & a 1/2 dozen pars with most of the rest being bogies. The carts are nice & quick , unlike a number of courses where the carts are slower than walking speed. Think I lost about 4 balls. Over-all a very enjoyable (challenging) course.

25 Nov 2013

phoenix666

Some solid deals in the mid afternoon for $49 with cart are an absolute bargain and fantastic value for money as the course is worth more. Course was in pretty good nick considering the recent rain. bunkers were fair and greens were still a few weeks away from being top notch but still a fantastic course.

24 Nov 2013

geoff

A great course! Beautifully positioned within a natural forest environment, this course would have to be one of the best that I have played! The greens were still quite sandy which was affecting some putts, but everything else was great. A course that I would love to play again! - a great price through iSeekGolf as well!

21 Nov 2013

dannynunan

Played Sunday 17-11-13, booked through Iseek and everything was easy. The guy in the pro shop was very professional and well mannered, he suggested we could tee off early as it was going to be a busy day. Tee'd off at 5-45am and was expecting the course to be much wetter than it was. The course in general was in really good nick. Everything was very green and lush after the recent downpours. The bunkers were great, some were a bit compacted from the rain, but, you could still play out of them. The greens had been cored 4 weeks before and weren't at their best, but, weren't horrible either, in a couple of weeks they will be mint I reckon. A lot of short par 4's, but, most had doglegs or elevation changes to make you think. Stand out hole for me was the par 3 17th, 155mtrs off the white tees all down hill to a green that sits on a plateau, beautiful looking golf hole from the tee. Overall had a very enjoyable golfing experience, would definitely recommend if you haven't played before and I'll be back for sure.

Very enjoyable course,excellent service Would play the course again Big plus with the guys there,very friendly and helpful

For those not familiar with this course you must have a ready supply of balls. Not suitable for high handicap players.

10 Nov 2013

The bunkers were in very poor condition And there was a group of 6 players in front of us which made play very slow Very poor impression

06 Nov 2013

katana

Always a great track to play anytime of the year. Course looked great and greens were true and speed adequate. Fairways were good and you can still get a good lie in the rough to have a crack at the green. JUst one of those courses you can count on for a good day of golf

01 Nov 2013

benny88

First time playing here and had a great day. Course was in pretty mint condition with lots of interesting whole lay outs. First time here, we played off the whites and it was definitely a little easier on distance but still a challenge, probably play off the blues next time. Layout of front 9 was a little brookwater'esque with plenty of bumps and mounds and undulation. An interesting design that rewarded a good tee shot and approach shot. Cant wait to come back.

I booked a 1.30pm hit-off but due to groups in front did not hit off until 1.50pm. One group ahead had five carts in the group - there were about six players in this group - slowed things down. Otherwise experience ok.

Played a few courses on the coast on a holiday and was glad I managed to fit in Robina, although the wife wasn't impressed. Always tough off the blues and the course was in really good condition. Greens were rolling great and fairways lush with great lies. Played Colonial as well and though this one was a little more enjoyable in regards to layout.

Apart from all the GUR bunkers, once again an enjoyable round. Very amicable staff & the course was as challenging as ever!

Went through the front 9 in 2hrs and 20mins and was told off by the course marshall for slow play. I am no Greg Norman and my 3 friends aren't Nick Faldo, Duffy Waldorf and Davis Love III but 2hrs and 10 mins for a round of 9 really is not that bad. Also considering the people behind us that we were "Holding up" were a hole behind us then by the end at least 2 holes behind us. I think the very old course marshall should get out of the right side of the bed tomorrow or work on his people skills.

Played Palmer GC Saturday mid August &amp; booked 8 spots for a birthday hit. Overall NOT pleased due to poor presentation of course, bunkers and fairways. I played the course 3/4yrs ago and it is a major let down to what it was - back then it was beautifully presented and a pleasure to play. To top it off the members would not let us 'the social birthday group' take several chairs from their area to enjoy a post round beer bearing in mind we paid $720 thru iseek into their club #wontbegoingback

It was quiet enjoyable.Very nice layout & a great coarse to play.I will be back to play soon.even with the greens being cored...they still played very true.

Palmer Gold coast (Robina Woods) is now one of my favourite tracks! It has an amazing layout with every hole offering the golfer something to think with club selection and ball placement. Its also very different to most of the other courses you will play on the Gold Coast.

stakgriff31

looks a little tired, whats the go with bunkers as GUR ?? we still enjoyed the golfing experience and has potential to improve with some upgrades to bunkers. I am comparing this to Brookwater !! but spoke to lads who just came from Coolum and they had nothing nice to say about whats happened to the golf up there. Does Clive Palmer play golf ???

21 Aug 2013

Enjoyable round, was a bit concerned reading some of the earlier reviews but course was in reasonably good condition with the exception of a few bunkers GUR. Quicker round, and hence more enjoyable,than some of the other courses played at on the GC. Good priced lunch at clubhouse as well. Wll be back for more.

goldenduck

Played here on 13/08/13 whilst on holiday from Melbourne. Was able to book the round through the Iseek golf website for $59 with a cart which was super value. The course was in good condition but was pretty short in distance from the white tees. Back 9 was a pleasure to play and the 17th and 18th hole was a great way to finish the round. Will play here again if back on the coast.

16 Aug 2013

Having played here just a few times and seen the latest reviews, I was worried that the course would be as it was some months ago. I am pleased to say that the greens are better than the last time I played (still slow, but at least have grass)the first 9 has sand in the bunkers the back 9 not so much. The feeling is they will get around to putting drainage in them and then put the sand back. The course is a great layout, tight and reasonably short. Its a great day in the woods but not as spectacular as some of the others courses on the coast. Let price decide if you play here.

Sensational day out on one of the best on the coast. Greens were mint, true and firm but i couldn't putt. Fairways like carpet but not a lot of run. Very tidy presentation overall. I thought bunkers were good bar the last two holes which they were adding sand too

15 Aug 2013

Very good course to play and very enjoyable. Staff were pleasant, carts were a bit old but got us around. Course condition was fantastic with great greens and fairways. Considering the rain the course has definitly improved in the last 12 months and look forward to returning

Had a fantastic day! Will definately play here again, a very challenging course for a 20 hcp'er! Although I played Under my hcp (18over). Even so what a pleasure to play such a Great course. I would rate it 8/10.

05 Aug 2013

sdacosta

Played this layout as Robina Woods 12+ years ago, still a good layout, but really has fallen into disrepair, no way is it worth $69. It needs money, If it means adding dinosaurs, so be it but something has to change, it was a good course, not sure i would bother again.

05 Aug 2013

Sat 3/8- tee off at 1 and finished at 5.30. Not sure if it was due to slow players or over booked.

A great challenging course but could not use carts off paths as course was very wet underfoot. Greens all good and consistent. Enjoyed our day.

The course design itself is great, but the standard and upkeep of the course has slipped significantly since Clive Palmer took over. Bunkers GUR when the weather didn't dictate them to be - some bunkers on the back 9 were exposed down to rock level and didn't look like they had been attended to in weeks given the amount of weeds & grass growing in them. The course sadly is now lacking a lot of TLC (the lakes by the 18th green being littered with rubbish for example) that really makes a massive difference when you are being asked to pay the same amount of $'s to play as what it would cost to play courses like the Glades and Royal pines - both which are now far superior to Robina Woods. I've played this course many times over the last 2-3 years and each time I go back to play (post Clive) I hope that the standard of the course and surroundings improve and each time I have left disappointed. To be honest - you're better off going to the Glades, Royal Pines or Lakelands and getting value for money.

adam1973

Played it yesterday, most of the fairways were wet and muddy from the recent rains, however the greens were ok, the bunkers were basically unplayable and in poor condition, no draining with most being GUR. Overall I think this course would be good if it was dry however yesterday the it was poor to play on... if you are planning on playing this course in the next week, save your money and find a course with better drainage.

Played here today. The fairways were very wet after rain and carts had to stay on the path. The fairways and tees on several holes on the front nine seemed quite sparse - I understand that they haven't really bounced back after the deluge early this year. I would have loved to play this course when it was in its prime. The mix of holes is excellent and the difficulty level off the blues (or even the whites in the wet) makes this a great test of golfing skill.Â Standout holes for me included the 1st, a picturesque par 4 with a creek running down the right side. Not a hard hole to start with but one that requires accuracy. The 3rd is a par 5 reverse dogleg which requires 3 nice shots to be on the putting surface. The 6th is a downhill dogleg where you need to hit a gentle shot to the right hand side of the fairway to set up a shot into the sloping green. The 9th is a tough par 4 with a sloping fairway and water on the left. Bunkers guard the right hand fairway and the green. The back 9 seems less affected by the wet and has quite a few memorable holes. 12 and 14 share a double green. 12 is a relatively straight-forward par 3 while 14 is a par 4 with water down the right side and in front of the green. A carefully placed tee shot short of the water is needed and an accurate shot into the green for par. 15 is a dogleg that again features water, this time on the left so a long accurate drive is needed to set up the approach to a green guarded by 3 bunkers. A bunker along the dam wall saves a slightly misdirected drive. The 18th is a spectacular hole with swales, water, bunkers and a tremendous green right in front of the clubhouse. Pause for a moment and take a photograph of this great golf hole. As you can see I was impressed. Staff were friendly and the drinks cart visited twice during the round. I'll be back to play again when the weather fines up and the grass has chance to grow.

Hadn't played the course before, but what a gem of a course ! Really enjoyed it ! It was a good balance of technical & quality. I really loved the slight slope on most of the greens & the shape of the area around the greens. Some greens were a little quick but still very good. It was a little wet on the fairways so it was carts on paths. I also liked the fact that there was an odd hole with hills in amongst it all which really kept it interesting. Unfortunately I teed off a little late & didn't get to finish the 18. Only got to play 14 holes. There was no traffic on-course. Only downside was the wet on the fairways & some of the greens had a few ball impact marks. I will be back & am thinking about a membership.

lodebrobr

Terrible experience. Overbooked, took 6 hrs to play 18 holes. The course was still saturated from rain that fell 6 days ago. Clive needs to sort out his golf course first before even thinking about running for PM. The course was much better when it was robina woods and its previous owners knew how to take care of it. The fairways at the moment are terribly wet and muddy. It's a shame as it is such a beautiful course with a lovely layout. My statement to Clive is. How do you think you can run this country when you can't even run a golf course properly.

glyn08

Excellent value at $39 through iseek. Would want to pay the quoted price of $130 as advertised on their website. However, very testing course. Unfortunately played there after several rainy days and as a result the course was extremely wet. In drier conditions this is obviously a fantastic course.

04 Jul 2013

Beautiful course in pretty good condition considering the amount of rain we had just had. Look forward to playing there again soon.

A gorgeous, picturesque, challenging course with many hills and slopes. Greens were in excellent condition and very fast. Many bunkers were GUR. Fairways generally good although many soggy patches even after days of no rain. It would be helpful to have a score card that shows the course layout. My cart had nowhere to put the sand bucket - holders would be good. As a local, I was disappointed that the name had changed. Robina Woods was a more fitting name to describe this beautiful course. However, I love the course overall - one to take any Gold Coast visitor. If it was cheaper, I would certainly go more often.

The course is always good to play and the greens were in excellent condition, the club house needs some new life into it as it is ageing. Buggies need better sand bucket holders as signs everywhere to replace divits but no where to put sand buckets.

20 Jun 2013

thebeerman

Having not played here for almost 2 months I was shocked at the drop in course condition a.a few bunkers marked as GUR but all should have been marked out of play as I live about 5 minutes from course the amount of recent rain could not be cause of totally washed out "mud pits" which were terrible. b. many fairways were again waterlogged and sloppy, suggest maybe some airation to be done,this along with a number of the dry fairways not having been cut made the game experience really poor overall.

Always a pleasure to play such a beautiful golf course. Lovely surroundings. Course has everything undulations of the greens. up and downhill hill shots. wonderful on the eyes. It does get a bit soggy under foot easily, so be prepared after rains. I love Clive but should have kept the name Robina Woods and his new drinks carts are a bit wacky looking and don't actually carry alot.

Was a great course and the staff in pro shop were very helpful, was well worth the $59 the front nine had an inch of sand on all the greens but had forgotten about it as I was coming down the 10th fairway, the drinks cart came back to us 3 times and the new guy on cart was very chatty, overall a very welcoming course and a nice challenging course, will certainly be back hopefully they have fixed up the front nine greens.

Played for the second time in a couple of months. What Mr Palmer lacks in value for money on food and drink (expensive) he makes up for on the course. Course was in great condition and the best greens I have played on in a long time. Big difference when the course has dried out

05 Jun 2013

liwacraji

I do like the palmer gold coast but I wouldn't like to pay more than sixty dollars to play it on the weekend .Some of the bunkers require some TLC eg. SAND . And some clean water in the ball cleaners and replace the the damaged ones. Repair some of the cart paths and cut the grass on the tee boxes some looked like they had not been cut for several days .These are just small things and if they were fixed it would look like a eighty dollar a round course .

Played on Monday - five and a half hours!!! Course was a little on the rough side but considering the recent rain it played well. With torturous pace of play, it was lucky I didn't have a decent score going - would have been impossible to keep any rhythm. This is a good layout, genuinely different from most of the rest of the courses on the Coast. How long do we think until Palmer adds mechatronic dinosaurs here as well...

25 Apr 2013

ticacouit

The fairways were pretty wet but it was to be expected after Saturdays rain. I still had plenty of clean lies and it didn't really hinder the round. The bunkers are in desperate need of a few truckloads of sand. Greens were slow but still held a line to an extent. Pin positions were pretty tough, I had more than a few putts that for all money looked straight at it only to miss up to a foot either side. Pro shop staff were very friendly

16 Apr 2013

sabretewr

I have always liked Robina Woods as a golf club, it is very impressive and demanding. Unfortunately the day that we played 14th April 2013 was the day after a severe rain "event". The fairways on at least 10 holes were so badly affected by water that they were as good as unplayable, the bunkers on most holes were washed out. Countless balls were lost in plugged situations on the fairways or water in bunkers. Apart from that, the greens and tees were good. Since the club has been taken over by Palmer, the condition of the carts has deteriorated, both for aged and cleanliness. This needs urgent attention. If you pay top fees then you expect the best.

"Shadow of its former self" was what one previous reviewers wrote. Please, cut back on the hard stuff. The course is still in terrific nick, can't do much about all the rain the region has had in recent months. Awesome layout, fairways terrific and fluffy rough. Exactly what a course should be. All this for $49, find me better value and I'll buy every reviewer a carton of beer. The only downside is every piece of merchandise has fat Clive's name on it. Palmer Titanic is the only thing that should have his name on it. Looking down the 18th is magic until you see the roof of the club house. C'mon Clive spend a few dollars and fix her up, you've got a bit! Terrific day out at the Woods

Very wet(100mm) the night before but the course was ok, bunkers out of play, pro shop staff were great. First time I have played here and I was impressed, dont understand the whinging of some about "how it was" It would be interesting to see feedback from the pro shop staff ?? Recommend the venue

06 Apr 2013

schmuck

Sad to report that it is shadow of its former self...even after only 6months of 'clivedom'. Been coming here for 20+years and love the layout, but the lack of any form of maintenance bar some indiscriminate mowing is heartbreaking. Allowing for the recent bad weather doesn't cover the paspalum on the fairways and greens with 5 types of grass & holes cut with a blunt woodsaw. Bulk sand piles in the carpark? guess its good that it was 80% empty. Will go back if ownership returns to responsible management. Was hesitant to be so critical, but after playing Glades the next day in much better condition, we were convinced that what was the great Robina Woods is gone.

Played the course 3 times in the past month. Very wet after the recent rain and carts on paths only. Despite the rain the greens were in great condition and very fast but some of the fairways were holding water. A good test of golf but I prefer the front 9 over the back 9. Staff in the pro shop very friendly.

28 Feb 2013

Great course and considering the amount of rain we've had the course was in good shape. Bunkers had suffered from washouts and the greens we also suffering but all GC courses have the same problems at the moment. Staff were great and food was good, the $10 lunch special is good value

25 Feb 2013

hiwribrit

Played Palmer Gold Coast several times and enjoy the challenges every time. Course is in great shape. Only draw back was that we booked very early - 5.45am - to get a quick game and when you get to half way you find that the 2 x 2 ball groups in front of us and then us are held up by a social club 4 ball that had been send of the back 9 just as we were approaching the back nine. Love the course but this is the second time in last 4 games that they let the back 9 tee go as well when there didn't appear that many players to warranty a 2 tee hit off.

22 Jan 2013

Since changing hands the course has lost a little condition wise, in particular the greens. Still love the layout & will continue to play there in the future as long as the course condition doesn't slip any further.

18 Jan 2013

prispolot

For $69 worth the money. In general a well designed course and quite challenging for all types of players. Played here two years ago and was very pleased played again yesterday and again happy with course but they are having MAINTENANCE ISSUES. All Bunkers terrible except on the 18th hole, some ball cleaners had no water, many greens need looking after. Despite the above I will be back.

Absolute joke of a course. Played during a 4 course tournament this was easily the worse. Hidden hazards and sloping rock hard greens made the game a nightmare. Wouldn't play here again with another persons money. Ended up tired and annoyed. The other courses were enjoyable although my golf at four courses was below par.

Am yet to join a club on the gold coast where I have lived about 40 years now. I have played golf about 120 times & believe I play about a bogie round average. Today was my first time playing @ (Robina woods) "Palmer Gold Coast" My partner & I are not amongst the elite income earners so it's not too often we play luxury coarses (I mean expensive) But we tee'd off at 1pm on a Monday & payed on-line for $39 each with cart. It was a good challenging lay-out with water along most of the 18 fair-ways. A good % of the holes gave you a chance to open-up for some bigger drives & even the par 3's off the white tee's were around 170m +. The greens were very large & in good condition, but I found them very firm & very often sloping strongly. This affected my score dramatically, as I chipped onto the green I often rolled-on considerably after landing it, & more than once rolled off again. The number of shots around the course doing this blew my score-card over the top. The fairways were excellent & didn't encounter any bogans during play. I will definately play again, but only on discounted rates as the full asking price I thought too steep. The price of drinks & snacks was far too expensive-$4.60 for a very small bottle of coke, $5 for a dry meat pie & $6.50 for a meagre ham & tomato sandwich.

On holiday with my wife and looking to play as many of the Gold Coast Courses as we could. Robina woods was a pleasure to play, even though it was wet underfoot (expected given the rain) Course was in great condition and will certainly play there again.

brettgould

Liked the layout and change in topography and trees

23 Jul 2012

davethedinosaur

played 11/7, carts on paths as a lot of fairways quite wet underfoot, making iron shots in slightly harder. Good layout as you meander through the trees, not customary up and down adjacent fairways. Greens ok considering rain. Tough but enjoyable course which the more you play it the easier it would get as tee shot placement important.

12 Jul 2012

very nice course i ll be back

great course. except for the course being a bit wet at the momoent. making the greens a bit slow and fairways wet. also the play speed on sunday was extremely slow. with a couple groups nearly punching on with hitting up on one another. was a bit of entertainment while we waited lol

03 Jul 2012

jimmyg123

We played after a solid week of rain and cold weather and the course was quite wet and it was carts on paths, but what a great course. Considering the amount of rain the course was great. It was the first time any of us had played Robina Woods in about 10 years and I can guarantee it will not be that long a break again. A great lay out and a great day had by all. The greens were slower than I remember, but the undulations on them more than make up for it.

02 Jul 2012

gold_coast_golfer

I find this course very frustrating and as a result somewhat difficult, Almost every hole on this course requires you to be in the right spot off the tee, if not you have no shot to the green. On most courses a drive down the fairway either side will see you have a shot in, not here miss the landing spot and your toast. On the front nine you can not miss the fairway left or right or your in the trees or water. It is rather hilly and walking takes its toll. On the greens the grain runs down hill and as a result uphill putts are slow and the break is well allow double what you normally would, putting accross the break allow a foot more than you think and you always want to be below the pin here. The greens are very narrow, some like the first are only 9-10 paces accross but they are quite long and playing to the correct side of the green is vital as a shot on the wrong side will see your ball roll 20 feet away from where you think it will stop. The 5th is a prime example. I can shoot high 70s low 80s around most courses, However Robina kicks my ass from tee to green, I play off 9 and the lowest round there in 20 outings is an 83, its Par 71. If you are not fit take a cart or you'll be stuffed by the 4th green. The drinks cart is never far away. It is quite a good layout very secluded in the sense that you don't see other golfers on the front 9, your playing in the woods. As there are few distance marker I recommend taking an extra club into the greens as they are usually uphill. As much as I hate the course I love it as playing open hit it down the wrong fairway and hit it again courses don't make you a better golfer. This course like Colonial will make you hit it straight if not you'll spend all day looking for balls.

Beware..... They have a whole new fleet of golf carts and ask that you sign for them as you take them out. What they don't tell you is when you bring it back they will look for the slightest scratch and mark on the buggy and charge you for it. So if you play there, check your buggy with a fine tooth comb and report any scratch - I mean any scratch - to the pro shop before you drive away. Course is very wet on many fairways, which is surprising given the lack of rain.

Played this course on a 3 day golf trip with 7 other guys through Oz Golf. This was the best, by far of the 3 courses for mine. Very pretty and amongst spectacular forests. It smacked of what I'd think Augusta might be similar to. I'm only guessing though as i haven't been any where near Augusta, other than on TV. The other 2 couses were Lakelands & Royal Pines. Both of which were nice(ish) but I found them a bit boring. Special mention for Oz Golf who looked after us brilliantly.

Guy in the pro shop was friendly & welcoming. Great layout & design where good course management & accuracy off the tee is needed - is best played off the back plates to appreciate the design. Course in good condition given the recent rain though it (along with Clubhouse)is showing signs of need of additional capital which is probably why we can have the pleasure of playing Robina Woods for such a reasonable green fee in the first place. Contrary to other reviewers pace of play terrific, linked up with a friendly member after 5 holes & round took under 3 hours. Lots of memorable holes & great finishing hole with clubhouse framed off the tee special.

Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful wooded course, lots of water hazards, undulating Greens.

Good condition and got a good price on iseekgolf. Short enough that you can use 3-wood on most tee shots. No real reward for using driver, only trouble.

Robina Woods was in suprising good condition for the amount of rain that had been around. Teed off at about 7am on a Monday morning so I had a great run, finishing the 18 holes in about 3 hours. The course is a thinking golfer's course with course management key to good scores on several holes as water and the tall timber come into play. A good course to balance driver and the long irons.

Played Saturday 31st March.Tee off morning.We were placed behind a group of approximately 20 lads on a bucks day.Very few were dressed for golf and most were not golfers.Poor start to the day.but fortunately they only payed 9 holes.On the 10 th fairway the drinks buggy appeared.We asked for a sandwich,there were none the young girl replied.Oh the pro said there would be, can you bring some next time round. No im finishing now.We were very disappointed wish we had stuck to our original course choice Glades.As for the course very wet considering we hadn't had much rain over the previous days. We had a booking for a large social group later in the year which I will now cancel.

Great Course, well maintained and fantastic challenging layout. Very good value.

Picturesque, challenging course that is well maintained. Good challenge as the fairways are tree lined, so you have to drive straight. Playing this course regularly will teach you course management and is sure to bring down your handicap. Reminds me a little of Brookwater, but more playable and enjoyable. Some interesting par 3 holes.

Just paid $90 for 9 holes !!!!! i love this course but they need to consider the golfer a bit more, really quick front nine only to get to the 10th and 4 groups either on or waiting....i have never seen the point of starting anyone from the 1st AND the 10th

thoroughly enjoyed it eaven with the recent inclement weather. The course is picturesque and a thinking man's golf course. easily to get undone. the staff were great. will play again.

unfortunately we did not play because of the bad weather, however the pro gave us a 3 month extension. we are happy about that.

gcrooster

Very nice course rank it up there together with Lakelands as the better courses on the Gold Coast. Nice amount of water and scenery great. Tough par 3 on the front 9 with large green. Get in the wrong spot there and tough put to stay on. Would like to see some money put into the course and do a bit of a renovation on the clubhouse and get it going again as well as a few areas on the course. Give the tees a few gardens and colour. Enjoyed the day. Well worth playing.

The guys in the pro shop were excellent and made us feel welcome when we arrived. The course was in fantastic shape with the greens very true and well paced. The fairways were well maintained and added to the beauty of the course. A tough course which depending on conditions, pins and tee placement will challenge any golfer

A nice course not dissimilar to Macquarie links in nsw. Paid $50 for a round and cart through iseekgolf which was about what it was worth. Some interesting par 4's and a couple of good 5's. The 17th par 3 has a great elevated tee.

One of the nicest courses i have played.

Very picturesque and well maintained Large greens The 150m distance poles were fantastic for someone who was new to the course. However other distance markers were scant Found ourselves in trouble or penalised due to unforeseen hazards....a better map would help understand the track Will definitely play the course again next trip rto the GC, but will bring a GPS with me

i think the best course on the coast and i have played them all,good hard course its a baby brookwater,its not like most gold coast courses wide open side to side golf if you dont hit the fairway your in TROUBLE and you dont tee off with your driver 14 time a round some really good tuff short par4s i love the course and staff are friendly all round good day

Robina would be the best course in Australia , i have played courses all over Australia and overseas and Robina is one of my favourite courses . I have played Robina many times and i have always found the course to be in great condition .

A great tortuous course. A well appreciated change from the side to side holes at most Gold Coast golf clubs

Played the course on 10.11.11 and found it to be a challenging and very interesting. The course is not long, but requires a degree of cautiousness, if you are to stay clear of the thick rough. If you like to open up your shoulders off the tee and let rip, make sure you take plenty of balls with you, you will need them!!!! The course was in a very good condition and the staff were very friendly. Overall a very enjoyable experience and I will be back again, but this time with a few extra spare balls.

An excellent course in good condition. Alittle too difficult for a 20 handicap

Had a good round although they put the pin in some very awkward spots on the greens, ie: on the top of high spots on the greens and made them almost impossible to put. but had a good game anyhow.

05 Oct 2011

alby69

Very enjoyable layout, tight fairways make for interesting shot decisions. Course in very good nick, lots of green staff out and about. Bunkers need attention and more sand but only a minor complaint. Greens were slick and very tricky, all in all a good test. Would definitely play there again.

05 Oct 2011

mrnoodle

Played today with work mates as an "end of night shift" treat. We will be back (albeit not sleep deprived next time). Thoroughly enjoyed the day, not sure about the comments regarding poor upkeep? We saw dozens of green staff all working at course beautification. Greens as true and as slick as I have played for a long time. None of the perceived issues with slow play (Tuesday mind you) and found our way around the course with little or no difficulty. Very nice mix of holes, great par 5's and the elevation changes on some of the holes were magnificant.

Played here on fathers day, very slow day around the course course was In pretty good shape throughout fairways. Great value for 49 bucks. Only real issue was length of time to get around. Will be back

05 Sep 2011

segephasl

played here on 4/9/2011 not happy with the course. absolutely terrible upkeep it seems as though no money is being spent on maintaining the grounds at all. we payed $50 for a round and felt thouroughly ripped off. tight fairways and hazards are well placed but stray no more than 2m from the fairway and your walking among fallen trees and branches. the water hazards are full of beer bottles and chip packets. no directional signs on the cart paths so never know which way to go. rotten bench seats at all tees so when your waiting (which you will be due to no marshalls) you will break the chairs. one tee on the back nine actually had synthetic grass that you couldnt push a tee into. give this one a miss... give this one a miss

05 Sep 2011

crachicip

Never saw a course marshall the whole round, needed one. The 2 groups in front were slow and needed some "encouragement" to get on with the game.

29 Aug 2011

barrieuk

Good, but tough golf course. Some holes have little, if any, bail out areas. First time around it would be worth investing in the course planner. There are no plans on the tees and it's very difficult to work the layout and distances because of the changes in elevations and dog legs.

21 Aug 2011

timbo61

Played here on 4/8/2011. Agree with everyone else that it is a great layout, fairly tight, and you really have to think your way around the course. A great mix of holes, some with water hazards, some treelined and all in very good condition. The clubhouse and proshop seemed fairly relaxed, a bit more casual than some other upmarket courses, but still efficient. Will definitely make a return to Robina Woods on my next G.C. visit.

11 Aug 2011

mtlion

Played Robina Woods last week. One of the best layouts on the coast. Some tight fairways that make you think about whether or not to pull out the driver. Staff were great. Only problem was that there was a bit of water under foot on some of the fairways and tees. It was so bad on one hole that they have replaced the tee with a synthetic grass tee. It was almost impossible to push your tee into the synthetic grass mat! Loved the course though and I hope that they find some new owners who spend some money on getting the course up to scratch. With such a great layout this could easily be a top 50 course.

31 Jul 2011

stumpgolf

A terrific Golf Course at great value through ISEEK, highly recommended. Placement off the tee important and respect into the greens. Greens are true and fast. Enjoy with refreshments cart visit 3 time on the way around. The 18th is one the the nicest finishing holes.

27 Jul 2011

waraphewr

I thought Robina Woods golf course was good although I can't say the same for amount of people that was allowed to play on the day. I understand it was Sunday and that it was going to be busier than a weekday but to move as slowly as we did was very frustrating. To take two and a half hours to play 6 holes and not to see a marshall once was enough to not make me go back there again. Luckily we were allowed to play the back 9 at the Colonial golf instead (After we complained) where we had a much better experience.

26 Jul 2011

mongrel

The course is in need of a major maintenance and tree-clearing program. Many tees and three or four fairways are in poor condition and on one tee, the 9th, you hit off a mat as you would at a driving range. The proximity of tall trees around the tees and bordering the fairways is the reason as the grass doesn't receive enough sunlight especially in winter. I reckon you need to remove one thousand trees from the course to bring the course up to an acceptable standard. There are some holes on the back nine in good shape but overall the course was a major disappointment.

22 Jul 2011

adunbar

A great deal through iseek enabled to take my son and his mate for the most affordable deal available. Great to get juniors to experience courses of this calibre. Course was in top shape and the greens were awesome, tough but fair. The game took us under 4 hours with an early tee off. We will be back again. Much better layout than Lakelands.

I realy enjoyed playing at Robion Woods.but clubhouse cafe need improved their service. Waiter is not friendly and unwilling to serve customer. I played last week again but all got same expeience.

28 Jun 2011

diphithes

We played the course last Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed it. A little bit disconcerting to lose balls in the middle of the second fairway in the foam markers dropped for spraying - but I guess we have to accept that. A weird way to lose a ball!

26 Jun 2011

ernestchia

This is a golfer's course that requires discipline and patience. Not exceptionally long but it's tight fairways on several holes do require a relatively straight tee short. The tranquil setting with some great scenery makes Robina Woods a sheer pleasure for golfers of all skills. The overall experience is excellent and I would highly recommend this course for anyone planning to golf in Gold Coast.

I decided after watching the US open that i really needed a game of golf...sort of got the bug.....i ended up playing on my own which isn't usually my thing..i must say the course was absolutely superb and to date the best i have played on the gold coast. One of those courses that you have to plot your way around to far off course and your in trouble !!!

21 Jun 2011

Played Robina yesterday, course is in very good condition, though a little wet in a few patches, nothing major. I think it is one of the best and most technical courses I have played on the Gold Coast.

Always good to play robina a testing layout

17 Jun 2011

penski

I have to admit I was disappointed with the day at Robina Woods ... partly because I had to leave the course after the 14th after 4 and a half hours due to other commitments ... partly because the course was still struggling from recent rains ... partly because I was paired with very inexperienced playing partners ... partly because I had played Brookwater the day before ...and partly because I was disappointed with my play on the day. It was just a long time to be out on a golf course for only 14 holes worth and perhaps I missed some of the more spectacular holes coming in??

01 Jun 2011

licaprasi

A good test of golf, unfortunately very wet under foot, would like to play it again when dry. The down side was that it took 5 hours to play and we were waiting on every tee. Hope to play again.

Certainly the cream of the crop for golf on the Gold Coast... amazing tight Par 4's, elevated tee for par 3's and sweeping long par 5's. One of my favourite courses in QLD!

kabespoke

Great course !!! Great Pro Shop staff !!!! Great Bar & Restaurant staff !!! With a sensational beef burger after the round. Considering the rain the course was in great condition. Carts on paths made it a bit slow but that is understandable, better than having a trashed course for next week's players. Well done, just need to see the drinks cart a little more often. Too bad the young lady on the drinks cart missed out on lots of good $ tips.

Had a great day even though the driver was hurting me..... Fist time playing Robina Woods and have to say Ill be back. Awsome greens and loads of interesting holes. Pro shop and bar staff were great and speed of play was fantastic ( 3hrs 50mins ) mind you we did tee off at 630am. Love to play the course in dry conditions but consdiering the rain the Sth East has seen recently the course was in great condition.

04 May 2011

paspolahi

Robina is a good course. Always a little harder than some of the others on the Gold Coast which make it a good challenge. The course still had a few damp spots on the edges but the fairways were pretty good after a few days of sun.

03 May 2011

teesme

Been up on tour this past week and have played Hope Island / The Glades / Lakelands / Colonial / Brookwater and Robina Woods. Now I have been told Robina Woods is in receivership, but gee you couldnt tell. By far the best greens I played on all week were Robina's and their Fairways were also good although wet, but apparently the Coast had over 75mm of rain this week. Loved it, will be on our tour list again later in the year.

02 May 2011

phedley

It was very wet which did not help but the speed of play was rediculous. Where are the marshalls? It spoilt what would have been a pleasant afternoon. No where near as good as Brookwater!

Played on the 27th April on a drizzly wet day. What a great course, full of challenging holes that would certainly play a little different next time (my first time there). Beautifully presented, great greens, fantastic surroundings. Will look forward to playing it again when it is dry

Great course at a great price on iseek. Rate it between Brookwater and Bonville

First time play for this course. The course is too hard for me (handicap 15). I will came back again when my handicap drop to 10.

Played April 2011 - despite LOTS of rain in days leading up to game, course played really well. Agree with the lack of distance markers being an issue, and did think the rough was a fraction too long (although to be fair, I did hit it there...). Greens were in very good nick - true and even.

08 Apr 2011

challenging course which takes a lot of thinking. Wa sa bit wet when I played which made it even more challenging. lack of markers on the course but yardage book from pro shop very helpful

jc30

Played Robina on the 2nd of April 2011 out of the 4 courses we played including Hope Island, The Glades and Lakelands Robina Woods was the best, the fairways and greens were immaculate and the layout of the course was brilliant you cant just get your driver out every hole you really have to think about it which is a great challenge, i will be back there ASAP loved it

06 Apr 2011

Really beautiful course and very challenging. Great pro shop and excellent clubhouse. I loved the front nine with its rolling hills and challenging holes. The back nine was flatter but more water. Will definitely go back.

fantastic course, great challenging holes only issue was lack of markers on the course being my first time playing was difficult to work out lengths on some holes but otherwise a great course will def be back again

22 Mar 2011

swedrahic

A fun, challenging course for a trio of intermediate players. The claims about the rough being too long are grossly overstated. At 60 bucks for 18 holes with a cart I would play here again in a heart beat.

21 Mar 2011

Played on Friday 19 March. Course was great and had an enjoyable round. Staff were friendly. That lack of distance markers is a real problem. I will definitely be back though.

19 Mar 2011

microstih

Played on Wednesday 16 March. Course was great, some bunkers weren't in great condition and should be GUR. Only complaint was the lack of distance markers on the course. Towards the end of the round i discovered there were some distance markers on the asphalt path adjacent to the fairways, however most of the time we were always down the middle of the fairway and the distance markers were too far away.

17 Mar 2011

walter15

was allways my favourite course when on holiday will not play there again if just off the fairway is a chalenge to find the ball which sinks to the very bottom of thick grass and you can almost be standing over the ball and not find it if found try to hack out and this happens on every hole lost 4 balls which were betwene .5 abd 4 metre from fairway I am a 19 handicap and the best part of my game is that I hit straight I do not wish to play find the ball again

08 Mar 2011

Played Robina Woods a couple of weeks ago on a business trip to the Gold Coast. Got a great tee time and deal through Iseek, which made life easy! First impression of the course: Picturesque, well manicured, challenging. It's a thinker's layout needing strategic management of the course rather than a bomb and gouge style of game. I loved the play through the trees and the variety of holes. Contrary to what some others have said, I didn't find the rough too long or penal though, admittedly, I had a good day and found the fairway most of the day. When I did find the rough, I thought it was challenging but, in retrospect, not nearly as gnarly as the rough at Lakelands which I played the next day. Fairways were in outstanding shape as were the couple of bunkers I did find. As for the greens, I thought they were in great shape and the speed was consistent. Staff at the course were very friendly and welcoming, and it was nice to have a beverage cart come around on a few occasions. If I had one complaint, it would be the lack of distance markers on the course -- or perhaps it's the lack of visible distance markers on the course, I'm not sure. Overall, I loved the course and will definitely be back. I couldn't believe it wasn't more busy in fact. Perhaps that may be the reason why I got around the course in less than 4 hours. If this course was in North America, they'd easily be charging $200 and up...

07 Mar 2011

smitty74

Played Robina again after playing early January. WOW, what a difference a few weeks of sunshine and some mowing makes. Fairways were perfect, rough much better length (tough but fair) and the greens were exceptional. Only payed $59 and no traffic on the course so will definately be back several more times.

Excellent course. Great day out.

amirashrafi

Played the comp on Saturday 12th Feb. Took us 5.5 hours to go around. Not very impressed. The layout of the course is not too bad, the greens, while not the truest were undulating so quite a challenge. The fairways were at times patchy and I thought they should have preffered lies as sometimes your must play the ball off a dirt patch in the middle of a fairway. What I didn't like above all was the first cut. The grass is about 1.5 inches long (the same height as a galf ball) and heaven forbid you end up in the first cut because the chances of finding your ball is about 50/50. I lost 2 balls in the first cut where I thought I hit a straight shot up the fairway, and to make my point, I found about 3-4 balls resting in the first cut where people have obviously failed to locate them

16 Feb 2011

Great Course. Fairways and Greens were exceptional. Staff were friendly. Will definately be Back.

Played the course Australia day and found it to be in great condition and very enjoyable. Only down side was speed of play - but we payed $59 with a cart so to me it was great value.

04 Feb 2011

balldrick

would not recommend robina woods at all. rough way too long and very difficult to find balls that were in rough. you didnt have to be far off the fairway to lose a ball. even though it was wet, for the price you are much better playing at royal pines. greens were ok and the staff were great, but will not play here again. was one of those courses that you have to play once to say ive played there.

30 Jan 2011

susukokolupin

The course condition was so far OK. But some bunker's sands were flow out. And we took long time to find a ball in the rough cause of too long grass.

27 Jan 2011

jne

I used to ,love Robina Woods., now I would not recommend to anyyone for a good social day of golf. The rough is very deep and fine grass, so if the ball is sprayed even 6 inches off the fairway it is very difficult to find. 6 holes, about 8 lost balls that did not come from very poor shots. Just a liitle bit off the rough would be OK. Golf is not meant to a game of hide and seek "lets hunt for the ball" Also after 7 holes losing ball and playing behind 3 very slow players (just over 2 1/2 hours to play 6 and a half holes) there was no enjoyment so we left. Noone seems to monitor slow play and it was very slow. I can only imagine perhaps in front were not only slow but had to play hide and seek with their golf balls as well

20 Jan 2011

I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Robina Woods. A good variety of holes with risk reward available. Will go back. Shame the guys in the pro shop seem to have left their manners at home.

17 Jan 2011

th13rteen

Played this morning and had the best round in two years. The course reminds you to check your ego at the door and use irons or fairway woods at the tee. It also could have been that my latest set was totally fitted for me and that I toned it down a bit on the swing with practically a whole new setup. The fairways were in great condition. Some muddy and soft spots around the 150 markers, but nothing to fret about. The greens were hard and manageable. Hardly anyone on as the Junior Pennants were cancelled last minute. Didn't bother me at the least. Wouldn't pay full price. Bring heaps of balls. Hard to find balls in just 1st cut of rough.

16 Jan 2011

jibrisloh

Have been holidaying on the Gold Coast now for the last 20 years from England, Robina is one of the best courses on the Gold Coast, great holes all with diffrering challenges throughout, course was a little wet in places and the semi rough was a little long but understandable given the recent weather. In the main in good nick, once again enjoyable round.

Greens had been scratched/cored and were quite sandy hence the cheaper price $45 inc cart. bunkers were not that flash even though we had somje recent rain i fell these were a bit poor. fairways were good but had some wet areas again due to rain so couldn't really hold this against them. i have been a social member here a couple of years back and have always enjoyed that course. would always come back again

14 Dec 2010

wrejecopr

course presentation 10 out of 10 the only down side 245 players playing on the same day therefore we only managed nine holes after three hours we'd had enough after speaking to the course marshall we were credited our last nine hole's i suggest friday is not the day to play Robina as the have a very busy social day apart from that very good

15 Nov 2010

sire_of_spin

Played Robina Wood recently and enjoyed every minute. Very well designed course with large trees and developed vegetation. The fairways are in top nick and carve their way through the tall gum trees. Plenty of bunkers with a nice amount of sand, challenging greens which were OK but i expected them to be a little slicker as they were a bit inconsistant. We saw the drinks cart at least 3 seperate occassions and the guys at the Pro shop were informative and helpful. About the only thing i could pick on was the golf cart. It was pretty slow moving which was a good thing as the breaks didn't really work that well. I would recommend this course to anyone in a heartbeat. I will be back for sure.

Tough greens. Almost every hole was on a slope. So challenging but tricky.

28 Sep 2010

heathpgc

Played today in good conditions. Despite the coring of fairways they played well. Two disappointing aspects. Firstly the greens were quite patchy and didn't roll as well as I remember and it didn't appear to have anything to do with the recent heavy rain. Secondly, there is an artificial tee in play on the 9th, which you cannot put a long tee in to hit driver. I teed it up off to the side. Quite strange considering the other tee blocks looked pristine. Would play again but would never pay full price.

24 Sep 2010

laurie004

Golf course renovations is not the ideal playing conditions glad we didn't play when it was full price in fees. Would of liked to have known that the course renovations were in process. But happy to go back and have another hit.

First time you play this course, you learn alot about it. Its all about position and thinking out the holes. I'm sure I'll score alot better second time around but it was an enjoyable challenge nonetheless. Really impressive layout and scenery throughout the course provides for a very relaxed round. I rate it above other courses I've played on the coast and will definitely be back. Well worth a game.

22 Sep 2010

What a great golf course. Water sand trees meandering fairways, a real challenge. I love it at this course reminds me of what golf is all about. Its a chalenge and if played with sense can be a most enjoyable experience.

i loved this course, hit needed acuracy and a good hit. i have had time off from playing and shot a pretty poor game, but can't wait to hit it again. i killed the 10th and loved the 18th. two holes i would proably regret playing again hahaha my two best holes of the day. i anyone that wants to play a well kept challening course to play here

05 Sep 2010

mkelly

Played last week and thought it was a bit over rated to be honest. I have played most resort courses in the area and Robina would easily be at the lower end of the scale. Tees and fairways were the most dissapointing but greens ok. Overall presentation of the course is quite untidy with leaves and sticks impeding lies, weeds everywhere and treeline scattered with fallen down trees and broken branches. Course has a great layout but condition leaves a little to be desired

02 Sep 2010

Thanks to iseekgolf, we have a good price to play at Robina Woods. The course is of good condition, but it is a real test especially the green and the fairway is tight. Overall we have a good time and they offer $25 for a repeated round. Good bargain. But it was a busy day given it is on a weekday. Slow play.

Course was in good nick as usual but slow pace of play made the day quite painful almost 5 hours and marshals seemed reluctant to move groups along, perhaps because they were members. Robina Woods is a real test, pressure drives and very tricky greens certainly not made any easier by having to wait for ALMOST half and hour on the 7th tee!!! Won't be rushing back unless we manage to be first out next time

Played at Robina Woods this week. I found the course to be in great shape, especially the greens. I found the front nine slightly more challenging than the back nine. Great variety of challenges which required smart course management. The staff were very friendly. I'll definately be back sooner rather than later.

Played here monday 1pm.. For a weekday was still a few pairings about which made things a little slow but cleared up by the second nine.. Firstly, i played Parkwood 3 days earlier at Gold coast and the difference in courses was phenomenal. Robina woods is in Exceptional shape and is challenging but gives everyone a chance.. Also used a little of the iPhone app iYardage to guage distances. Was a cracking day for swinging the metal stick and my tee off time could not have been more perfect - with the sun setting at the top of the 18th tee.. What a sight!

Played the big 4 coast courses last week and cannot believe the feedback from Mikiwraco about Robina Woods. We must of played on the same day and I think he was the group in front, who spent all day in the trees looking for balls. The house comment is strange as I felt I was enclosed in a forest with most fairways treelined and rarely did I see a house. I guess if you have a shocking round you give a bad comment. The course was in immaculate condition despite it being winter, fairways were striped with good coverage and greens terrific. The speed of the greens was perfect, a great smooth roll and if they were any quicker you would putt off the green. Staff were very friendly and helpful, clubhouse facilities older but didn't go there for that. I came to play a terrific course and that's what I got. In the best condition of all the coast courses at the moment and great value for money. We will be returning for another round in the very near future.

Have played this course before and both times have found it to be a challenge. The course is maintained very well and reminds me of my old home course in Launceston Tas. Tree lined fairways and rough that is rough means that straight hitting is required, as always but does not always happen that way. Had a good day at Robina Woods in the woods.

Played Today. Was quite dissappointed with the overall course. Clubhouse and surrounds very run down, golf carts very old and need upgrading. The course itself was in fair condition, fairways were average with heaps of divot marks unrepaired, tee boxes are in terrible condition, greens were quite good but extremely slow. Distance markers on fairways were missing from sprinkler heads, making it impossible to judge distance. Dont like the feel of the course with the houses being so close. Overall experience 2/10.

Spectacular on all fronts. Well maintained. Great layout. Some very testing greens. Can't wait for the next round.

This course a sleeper. You come to the coast and think Lakelands, Palm Meadows the Glades and Hope Island. Please, I've played the others recently and this course is as good as any of them and apart from the Glades more scenic than any of them. Certainly playing this track the front nine particularly can make you think of some holes at Brookwater, Kooralbyn and even Tuncurry in NSW. The Greens are better, the layout more intreging it has more undulations and over all is a better course. Whilst the club house looks great from the 18th tee first impressions when driving in reminds you of a suburban course and the facility at 21 years is starting to show it's age. You cannot fault this course. If you want a resort course go play the Glades, if you want a great golf course play here! If you don't rate this course it's probably because you did n't play well on the day! Great course will be back and will try and find the money for membership as it's that good!

Beautifully maintained course, and in great condition for this time of year. Was a busy afternoon, so was held up a bit (took 2.5hrs to complete front 9!).

I have played the course a few times, but not in recent years, my interstate visitor played it for the first time. The course has always provided the golfer with a challenge and keeps you intrigued because of the interesting layout. The course was in good condition and we had an enjoyable day.

Played this course during the school holiday period in July 2010. Was pleasantly surprised by the course. If you look at an aerial map of the course you wil see that it is surrounded by houses. However, the houses are set some away back and don't really intrude on the atmosphere of the course. Course was in very good condition, greens were a little brown in appearance (as it was the middle of winter) but played fine. Was surpised by lack of traffic during school holiday period. Pro shop staff were friendly and helpful.

Played this course on a Saturday 9.52am hit-off booked on line and was partnered with 2 members playing at the front of the competition. We had a great round (4 hours) and they were great company. This course requires thoughtful golf to score well and it rewards the good shots. Greens were fast but true and the whole course was presented beautifully. The native vegetation is fantastic and it is difficult to believe it is in the middle of a residential area - so well planned and treed. One of the best courses I have played and fully recommended.

I loved Robina Woods. The course was in great condition and great to play a course that is so interesting. Greens were good and we got around around in 3 1/2 hours never had to wait or were rushed. Oakley thursday competition is great value! Robina still stands up as one of the Gold Coast best.

Anything under $60 for 18 with a cart is well worth it at Robina Woods. Tight challenging fairways and slick greens makes this a great course for mid handicappers. Friendly staff. Our day had some slow players causing us to take over 4 hours to play but otherwise a great day. The clubhouse serves great meals too.

Robina Woods is a very good course, within easy access from Surfers Paradise. A year ago I played the front nine only and this time managed to find time to do the whole 18 holes. The front 9 for me, is by far the more intruiging and interesting 9 holes. Great use of the natural lay of the land, with many beautiful trees, water streams, and many birds accompanying your game. Very undulating. The back 9 was good, but didn't really seem like the same course, and was entirely more forgettable, and flat in my opinion. As a mid handicapper I also found the layout overall a little too pecuniary for balls wide of the mark. So much water in play and some of it hidden can lead to some disappointments. Good service from the food cart and they were nice and friendly. The pro could occasionally smile and be a little more enthusiastic though! Nevertheless I would not hesitate to return as the course condition remains very high and its pretty reasonable value. Best as an afternoon front 9 holes I think.

05 Jul 2010

bregiuore

Great course. Have played it a few times and always enjoy it. Some course marshalls would have been nice though because our front none took 3 1/2 hours to play because of a few groups in front. Still a good day out.

04 Jul 2010

stiuidedi

Nice course, pretty surroundings, with some challenging holes. However, not worth the full green fee of $120. I believe it would only be worth $60 for 18 holes with cart. If that was that the case I would be a good course to play.

I did play Robina about 10 years ago and did enjoy ehte course again - the landscape is just beautiful. Unfortunately a fun game was on which i did not know about which led to long play and could not finish before dark

Played Robina Woods with my broth-in-law from Sydney and had a great round of golf. We organised an early tee off and from the start we enjoyed every hole. As many say, the course is broken into 2 sections. The front nine is hilly and very testing while the back nine allows for more mistakes but makes up for that with longer holes and more water. I kindly donated a few balls to the water. Overall a well maintained and challenging course. Will be back.

My favourite course on the Gold Coast. Not quite in as good a condition as it used to be but still great value golf!!!

Great course well maintained not overly long but some really interesting holes where you need to think from the tee. Lots of water!

Having joined Robina Woods as a gold member 3 years ago and playing just 5 rounds (about $500 a round), I was thrilled to participate with 3 friends yesterday at a cost of $65, including a cart and excellent club sandwich lunch. Great value, will do again and again

Played Robina today, booked for The Colonial but it was still under water. I played here about 7 years ago and was really impressed, today, I was more impressed. What a course, probably one of the best I have ever played. The greens today were sooooo fast and soooo true, it was great. It was slow today, very big field and took about 4.5 hours, but that didn't detract from the wonderful bushland setting. The test of golf from the back tees was really great and not too lomg like Hope Island or Palm Meadows. Very strategic shot placement required on some holes. Staff were great. All in all, a most wonderful day. 10/10 (I birdied 16 and 18)

08 May 2010

Fantastic. For someone who gets to play as regularly as I do it was great to play a course that rewarded good shots and let you get away with the ordinary ones.

01 May 2010

ditty

Absolutely outstanding course and all the better for playing it at a cost of $49 inc cart. Only had a couple of delays on tees because of par 3's but the 4 1/2 hours was spent enjoying the surroundings and seeing the way the course was carved out of the country's vegetation.

Have been playing Robina Woods a number of times over the last 12 months including one corporate day.The pro shop guys have always been curtious and professional. On course last week I found the greens so fast and smooth. The course is a great day out with a few mates, no wife or kids and a few beers. It provided a challange to all golfers in our group. A great layout and very testing. Our group all thought the green keepers do a fantastic job. Congratulations on a fine product.

Good course rain made fairways very wet but green were great did not go to club house. Only negative was the carts for the amount we paid $120 (except for teh iseekgolf booking) there was no covers for clubs as with most other courses of this cost.

15 Mar 2010

garrickj007

Well presented course that is older than most of the other courses on the coast. Tighter to play and less forgiving if you are not on the fairways. Well manicured greens and fairways. Plays tougher off the blue markers but if your ball is in play you can still make pars. The clubhouse is a bit old but the beer still tastes great. Everything was ready when i got there and they got me away ahead of a social group so i was not held up. Friendly staff who were great. I would play this course again.

04 Mar 2010

croprapra

first time playing this course, and i loved it, i played a day after heavy rain which made the bunkers unplayable but everything else was in fantastic condition, you would never have known the greens had even been wet, same as the fairways, cant wait to come back up to the gold coast to have another crack at this course, definately one of the best ive played, it was a pleasure to play and the front nine is picture perfect.... and the 18th is fantastic whole to finish with,

19 Feb 2010

The unique(as in isolated) holes on the front nine winding through housing estates was attractive and I felt more challenging than the back nine. Greens were large and undulating with the potential for some tricky positions. I had three concerns with the course- firstly, the greens were uncut and incredibly slow; secondly, there were limited fairway distance markers-many had been scratched off the sprinkler heads or were non existent; finally,there was no profile of the hole to be played either on the card or on the tee box, making positioning of your tee shot or distance to trouble simply guesswork.

29 Jan 2010

wbowring

The course was in awesome condition. Perfect lies on all fairways and the greens were smooth and ran at a good consistent speed. Nice mix of long and short holes an overall very happy with the course. Would definately play again and reccomend

Disappointing start to a good round: we booked a tee time of 2.30pm through iseek.Arriving at 2.15pm we were told to head to the 1st tee. After waiting 10min at the 1st the marshall arrived to inform us that we couldn't tee off as there was a field of members coming through that had started a 12.30pm shotgun, could we proceed to the 10th.Arriving at the 10th there were still another 4 teams in the comp to come through (groups ranging from 3 to 5 people)in front of us.We then drove the buggy up as far as the 7th to see if we could fit in but no.Back to the proshop for further advice we were sent back to the 10th.Finally at 3.20pm we teed off finishing 9 holes at 5.20pm due to holdups.We also were told that the cart had to be back by 6.15pm.We raced and completed the second 9 holes to be back in by 6.35pm. Not the most enjoyable day and disappointed with the organisation considering the fees but great course layout.

Tough front 9 and challenging course however doesn't warrant the price of better quality courses.

chrislang

I had a great round here, course was in immaculate condition and loved every hole HOWEVER after booking at the earliest possible time of 2.37 on this site we were told our carts had to be in by 6pm or we would be locked out. We were just on th 14th hole and there was still plenty of light. Disappointing end to what was sure to be a great round and left a slightly sour after taste.

11 Jan 2010

vjsweeney

Played 5/1/10 and joined in with a couple of members from Burleigh. We were all impressed with the course.Great front nine with tight fairways. Back nine a bit more open but still great fun. We were allowed to go through 3 groups and all very friendly.

06 Jan 2010

hinosapra

The BEST golf on the Gold Coast! Robina's layout is second to none. The front nine are a great test of golf with tight fairways, plenty of slopes and tricky greens. The back 9 opens up a bit more with some room for error, but water and tricky greens (particularly 16/17) will keep you honest! Play is generally good speed as the locals always seem to give way to faster or lesser number groups. Speaking of the locals they can definately play! ... we were a 2 ball and went round in 3.5 hrs, while a 4 ball of members were right up with us all the way behind us!

01 Jan 2010

rickshenton

the renovations in progress proved to be no hinderance whatsoever. despite the scarified fairways and recently top-dressed greens, the course still played well and had no effect on our scores. a small price to pay when you know it is only for the benefit of the course. fantastic layout with plenty of character. a good mixture of natural and man-made features

27 Dec 2009

splitpin

We had a great round at Robina Woods. The front 9 in particular is great fun. Distance info is scarse and a lot of sprinker markers are missing. Course guide would have been a good investment. Like all GC courses this time of year it is a bit dry. Greens and tees had recently been punched but weren't too bad. Overall great value.

20 Dec 2009

thiuecala

Teeboxes and greens were shocking! greens had been cored and heavily seeded. A shame because the fairways were good. I appreciate we paid a reduced rate $50 including cart but the greens were that bad we only played 14 holes and had enough. I gather by the lack of people on the course on the day we were amongst the few who did not know about the state of the greens.

16 Dec 2009

droweches

Had a wonderful round - but the tee's and greens had been cored - so my putting was a little rough. This added about 6 strokes to my usual score (this is my story and I'm sticking to it.) Other wise a brilliant round - club house is one of the nicer ones too.

15 Dec 2009

A lovely course. The fairways are emaculate and I'm sure the greens will be the same once their maintenance is finished. Not an overly testing course, but enjoyable all the same.

14 Dec 2009

rocketdog

I played Robina Woods on the 12th december for my birthday. I got the renovations special as they had cored, sanded the greens. I have played the coarse several times and it is still up there with the best coarses on the coast. As many others have said it is a coarse of two nines and it does test your accuracy. Had the best round of my life with a 76 off the blue, great bday present that money cant buy, great coarse.

Very disapointing! got told we only can play the back nine due to course renwation and then the machines started coring the greens we where playing on on the back nine.NOT HAPPY !!!!

very nice course. Not that long but if you're not hitting straight, you will struggle.

24 Nov 2009

boegelmann

This was the first time I had played Robina Woods and was very impressed. The front nine encourages you to 'think' carefully about your choices and the back nine allows you to open up a little. I will definately return with a helpful staff and a pleasant area to have a drink afterwards.

24 Nov 2009

Robina Woods was *FANTASTIC* excellent course, not long but quite tricky. Brilliantly fast, hard greens, with bunkers and fairways well manicured and kept.

17 Nov 2009

frolacatr

Played in foursome. Great service by lady in Bistro before teeing off. The Pro Shop boys lacked that enthusiasm - perhaps they should swap. Price ratio for course quality was excellent. Used the mid tees and as we have no handicaps and twice a year golfers but probably should have used back tees. Straight 3 woods off the tee were running in to fairway crossings such as rocks and the like. Good for the ego but bad for the second shot. Really could not fault the maintenance of the course. Paid $5 for the course book and the yardages in their were useless.

16 Nov 2009

A challenging course full of unforgiving fairways. It really makes you think about playing very straight. I played on a Monday afternoon and it appeared there were too many bookings that day and there was waiting on every Tee. The greens weren't as fast/soft as I was expecting. The fairways were in great condition.

03 Nov 2009

icantchip

Great course, loved it, except for the lack of distance marker that was a bit annoying approaching the greens. Played terribly, will definitely be back to get my revenge.

01 Nov 2009

mattybaz

Well, played here on Subday. Course itself was ok, good challenge and in good condition. Clubhouse looked a little run down for a "top" coast course. Good greens and fairways not too bad. Service from staff- 0 stars. Perhaps the worst welcome ever from any course I've been to. In a word, rude. When you are paying top dollar at any course, the very least the staff could do is say hello. It was as if none of them wanted to be there. Pick your act up. Would've come back for the course but not a chance now.

21 Oct 2009

moses_1

lovely course. worth just driving around in the cart. best on the gold coast in my opinion. everything organised by the staff for us...even our names on the carts! sent us out on the 10th to avoid large corporate group which was fantastic...didn't see another group all day and breezed around. most enjoyable.

13 Oct 2009

sostesesp

Played a four ball last Tuesday teeing off at 12.45. There was a log jam on the 1st tee and we thought we would not be able to complete our round before dark. However things picked up and we finished the 18th. at 5.30.The course was challenging and in great condition and great value at $49. We will definetly be returning.Perhaps there should be a course marshall keeping every group on time to finish in 4 hours.

Being Scottish, I have just spent 3 weeks playing various courses back in Scotland. My first game of golf back in Australia has re-kindled my passion for the game. The course was fantastic, the greens immaculate and the weather, the weather, I say the weather was heavenly. I guess I am a fair weather golfer after all. No more trips back to Scotland to play in those treacherous conditions....

30 Sep 2009

brisbanedrive

Played this course and liked the course. the problem this course has is slow play. Played on my own and it was a really slow round, 5 and a half hours. The course needs to look at the proper course marshall. Not in a hurry to play this again!

30 Sep 2009

taipan

Beautiful course cut through woodland. You hardly know that the course is surrounded by houses. Every hole is a pleasure to stand on the tee and look down at the next challange set out like and oil painting front of you. Its a short course that calls for good course management, I reccomend you play off the back tees as we were hitting 7 irons on some holes, we played off the whites. Greens were a little slower than I like but that is purely down to prefeerence. Staff were relaxed and friendly. All up was one of the best $50 I've ever spent.

nice course, service was a little low budget by comparison with The Glades where we played the week before at the same cost.

magpie1402

This is the third time I've played Robina Woods and as usual it was in very good condition. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the Gold Coast to take some time to play the course. especially the low markers, it can be a bit challenging for the higher handicap and occasional golfers, so I would suggest you have a few spare balls in the bag. Overall it is an enjoyable course, but it can turn nasty if you get out of position or off the short grass.

21 Sep 2009

braslifro

Really enjoyed the layout but course condition let it down. Tee condition on most of the holes was pretty ordinary and on one hole we actually tee'd off synthetic grass. Thought the greens were brilliant - very true but multi tiered and very undulating so no easy putts. Wildlife makes you feel like you are in a tropical oasis - hard to believe it is downtown Robina. Unfortunately, round marred by a very slow group of four who lost a number of holes to group in front but never allowed our group of two to play through despite watching them tee off on almost every hole.

08 Sep 2009

ricrispig

The course itself was in very good condition and the greens ran very true as well .Tight fairways at times and plenty of water to miss .Not a course i'd recommend for beginners.Staff were exceptional and organisation very good .Only down fall we had was length of time it took us to complete round, 5 1/2 hrs ish

08 Sep 2009

terryd

Never fails to impress especially with the current discount in the afternoon. Challenging but not difficult and something different each hole. Couple of walkers in front slowed us up a bit but(why walk when the green fee includes a cart) overall loved it - staff were great and company on the tee waiting for the lot to clear off in front were great as well particulary as their tee shots were no better than mine.

08 Sep 2009

sotatiphe

great course, very challenging off the tee and around the greens. would definately recommend this course to those that like a mental game. BUT very disappointed with the people 2 groups in front of us who were monumentaly slow. 2 hours and 40 minutes for 9 nine holes is an absolute disgrace and people like that should go and play put put. VERY unhappy about only getting to do the front 9. My recommendation is play during the weeks so you get away from twats like that.

07 Sep 2009

benaud

I've got similar reviews to everyone else. We played there yesterday and the course was in fantastic condition. Even after reading so many positive reviews about it, it still shocked us to see how good it was. Only minor complaint would be the slow rate of play. We often had 2-3 groups waiting to tee off ahead of us so the round took about 5 hours. Definitely consider starting your round well before 1pm!

07 Sep 2009

thebigwoohoo

A bit of a disappointment. Bunkers not raked and green pitchmarks unattended. I imagine it would have been a nice course before all the houses were built, although the 18th is a nice looking hole Very slow play on the day.

03 Sep 2009

uipreswav

Fairways and Greens in very good order. Difficult course as very narrow fairways and not forgiving as virtually no fairways are adjacent to each other. Meaning unless you are probably a 12 or better golfer you may find it to frustratingly difficult to enjoy. Personnally I didn't like the course layout and vegitation encompassing the course is very boring and dry scrub. Not picturesqe at all. The course is very run down in terms of the club house and such things as cart paths and the like. The club house has been let go for some time, it was more like a pub than a club house !! I wouldnt pay more than $50 to play this course. Its more like a suburban club than a quality resort style course with great regards to the lack of facilitys. How they charge $110 is a joke. Wont go back. But again the greens and Fairways were well presented. The Staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Played here Friday after a 2 year absence and was very astonished - the course is magnificent. Greens were firm and rolling quick. Fairways were great to hit off, though looked a little dry. Overall "IMPRESSIVE". Hats off to the course staff. Cant wait to come back with the boys and play here again.

very happywith the organisation and the course is very good - - unfortunately somevery ver slow players ahead who prevented us from finishing our competetion as we were 12 of us!!

It is a challenging course with beautiful surroundings. The fairways were not as lush as they should be but the winter months and increased shade dont help. The greens were challenging and quite fast at times. One of my favourite holes was the par 3 17th. As seems to be a regular thing on gold coast courses no matter what day of the week, there were some slow players in front. Overall time taken was still reasonable. Very good course.

12 Aug 2009

tyronankat

excellent condition greens where running about 10. it's a accuracy golf course no need to be long of the tee lots of iron and 3 wood shots of the tee. i was not happy with bunkers as your ball plugs cause the sand is extremely soft.

GOOD COURSE. TOO MANY PEOPLE. 6 HOURS FOR 18 HOLES. NEVER PLAY ON WENSDAYS.

06 Aug 2009

bulldog007

Good Layout. Front Nine is Hilly and tight in places, requires some thought to club selection. Lot's of water to catch stray balls but no water carries. Back nine opens up but still requires careful club selection.Course condition was reasonable for this time of year, Fairways and greens showing signs of winter dormancy. Our 1pm tee off was marred by one slow group holding everyone up and we were only able to complete 15 holes and drive back to clubhouse in the dark.Staff were friendly and attempted to keep things moving but we had a long wait on every tee.Course was crowded on a weekday, so don't expect to finish in daylight in July. Course attracts all types and abilities which makes for a very slow round.

04 Aug 2009

davinconner

I played here two weeks ago. The course itself is fantastic. Very natural and unforgiving. The greens are not great to putt on but I was informed that they use this grass as its cheaper and easier to maintain. Thats fine if it was a chepa council course but this aint. The rest of the course was in great condition. The only issues I had was the slow play. I was playing on my own and had two groups of two in fron of me. I waited till the group in front of me had hit off the first hole till I hit and didnt catch them intil about the 5th. This was ok ezcept that they had also caught the group in front of them and that group refused to let us through. There was no sign of a Course Marshal to speed things up or make them let us through. I was playing well up until this point but due to waiting up to 15mins on a tee to hit off my golf suffered baddly. I eventually ended up joining the group behind me who had 3 in it, after they caught me and there were 4 gfroups waiting on one tee. This experience ruined a day that I had been looking forward to for a long time.

28 Jul 2009

rhino3

ABSOLUTELY the WORST course management we have come across. From hole 5 to 13 we had a wait of 10 mins on each hole as there were 4 groups on one hole thanks to a gruop ahead. Course marshall came around on the 6th and said he was onto it and we never saw him again. We got sick of it ans left after 13th (13 holes took 4 hours). Complained to the pro shop who offered no sympathy, only excuses. NOT HAPPY. (the course, what we saw of it, was great).

26 Jul 2009

drafroras

Played here on Tuesday in the rain. Course was in surprisingly good condition despite the deluge. Had a group of four walking in front which slowed us down considerably. Only managed to finish 16 holes before sunset. Teed off at 1pm for the $49 discount. Lots of rolling fairways with nice greens and bunkers. Course not too long and par 4's are easy to hit in two. Overall a very nice course and I would like to play here in better conditions

Played 3rd of July and I love the golf course! It was cheap and made even better caus we had a cart. The greens were in great condition and the variation in speeds as we progressed throughout the holes was a challenge. The fairways looked excellent and played to my game. The only thing I didnt like was the wait due to no course marshall and the group of kids behind us which kept on hitting up on us. I love the 17th hole and the 15th hole which were a great highlight. I would say one of the best golf courses in Queensland. Worth Playing Again!

Played on Saturday the 27th of June. Due to the amount of rain last week, carts not allowed off the paths. Only played the course once a few years ago in a ambrose so we where keen to play it single. A great layout with 4 wonderful finishing holes. I loved the 15th which is a dog leg left around a lake with a small landing area and OB long and right.

Played on 15th June so the course was wet and carts on paths for some holes. As a group who have played here 8 times now we knew what is was like so thats why we come back. The play was slow and the usual Marshall was not around. Excellent course, great test of golf and will be back again.

Played June 09 - What a great course! Although the course was wet from the recent rain (no carts on fairways - path only)it was fantastic. Each hole is unique, while reasonably tight, not absurdly hard. The 17th down the hill (with the wind blowing)is one of the best golf holes in Qld.

We had never palyed at Robina Woods before so took a 1pm tee time for a reduced price. Carts on path only due to previous days of rain, the course is interesting but it was quite wet in a few areas of the fairway. I shot 9 over on the front (stoked) as I was able to keep the ball in the middle of the fairway but hubby said its too narrow for him. I would have liked to see what I would have scored on the back nine as it looked very challenging. We only played to the 14 hole due to it getting dark. We thought there were either too many players out ( and there were penty of groups behind us) or slow play, no marshall out too speed things up. Hope the Colonial proves play to be faster.

Unfortunately due to slow play we were only able to play 9 holes before sunset. Groups of 5&6 in front of us was very disappointing.

Excellent golf course. Really nice setting. Challenging lay out. Great greens. Only a couple of slightly boring holes. I would definitely play there again if given the chance.

Good morning,this was my first game at Robina Woods. Unfortunately we only got to play 8 holes before the heavens opened up and we had to abandon play. We were so dissapointed not to play the rest of the course. I was really enjoying the course with some difficult chalanges and fast greens with a real tropical feel on some holes. Will have to go back and experience the 10 holes we missed out on. Looking forward to it. The staff were excellent.

Course was excellent, but BEWARE it took us 3 & 1/2 Hours to play 14 holes. It was dark at 5:30pm so we did not finish our round. Need to tee off before 1pm if you have any chance. Too many people on the course means you have to wait at least 10 mins at each tee.

The course was great, pity the electric carts did't last the entire 18 holes. When we tried to get replacement carts nothing was done. Bit of a shame that our lasting memory of the day will be pushing the carts up hill frantically tring to fit in the remaining few holes before dark.

Staff,course,service,cart were all A1. Simple. Maybe just one thing- signs or similar telling foursomes to waive thru a single player rather than make them wait for 4 people to tee off.

great course love the set up cant wait to play again. Front nine is a little better than the back nine but in saying that 16 and 17 were my two favourite holes. helpful staff made for a good day.

Played Robina over the week end, in a word MINT. Greens were quick, fairways looked liked Augusta, couldn't fault a thing. First game there in over 2 years & i must say the best conditioned course on the coast at present. After all the wraps it's been getting of late it certainly lived up to expectation! I'LL BE BACK.

Played Robina Woods today. An enjoyable test of golf. Not a monster by any stretch but position is paramount on most holes which are fairly tight.

Condition of the course was very good. Greens were excellent. Tees and Fairways very good. Keep the ball in play and you will score well around here as it is not overly long. However if you are spraying the ball off the tee or with your approach shots, there are plenty of hazards to accumulate your score.

My biggest criticism was the fact that there are a few holes that are blind from the tee where you run out of fairway with a water hazard running through the middle of the fairway. Very frustrating to hit a good drive right down the centre of the fairway only to find that you have run out of fairway and are in the water. The only other criticism that I had was the fact that there are no par 5's between the 3rd hole and the 16th.

Overall however an enjoyable course and round. Looking forward to playing there again.

Played Robina Woods today 4/06/08. Gold Coast is just getting over some heavy rain. The course was in great condition, greens were a little slow, but fairways at tight and makes you think if you should take out the driver or not on some holes. Play was a little slow but the 18th hole was worth the wait. Great finishing hole.

Just returned from the Gold Coast where they’ve had huge amounts of rain, I was lucky enough to get on at Robina Woods to play in between down pours and I can say it was awesome considering the conditions. Very green and very challenging – look forward to returning when it’s dry to compare….

I played Robina in mid March 08 for the second time and was slightly disapointed. The greens were extremly slow and I found that quite a few of the short par fours were tricked up to the point I hit 7 iron then wedge on one. The last two holes are great but I can’t say I will be back when I revisit the Gold Coast

Played over the weekend on a 3 course trip from Sydney (also played the Glades and Hope). Definitely a tight well designed course. Greens were a little on the slow side. A very enjoyable day overall.

play over easter weekend, the course was in great condition. i really enjoyed it, nearly every hole makes you think and plan. i appreciated the variety of holes. we played royal pines the day before and would much rather play Robina. it is tight in alot of places, and penalises wayward shots more than most courses i have played … but i would rank in my top 5

Played the course in early feb after all the rain so it was nice and lush.I think this is one of the best courses on the coast,with a great layout and some very different holes to the norm (on the coast).If you can avoid the woods of the tee you may still have a tricky shot to an elevated green. Great use of hazards and natural landscapes.Great service and course.

Played in Jan 2008, Great course! Was warned that it is a tough track that makes you think off the tee. Some very tight tree lined dog leg fairways, mixed in with some open driving holes made it a great experience. Great par 5 finishing hole!!

Played robina woods just after all the flooding rain that closed colonial the course we supposed to play that day. The course was tough due to the fact that they had not been able to get the machinary on due to the weather. This is agreat layout tight fairways heavy rough due to no mowing but agreat experience all the same. the greens are quick with plenty of break to keep you on your toes. I will be back to play this course again, cant wait to seehow it plays when they have been able to get it back to prime condition.

At last a Gold Coast golf course that can honestly call itself a Golf Course and not just another “Resort Course” This is without a doubt one of the best golf courses in Qld. The way it winds it’s way through the rain forest up, over and down the many hills and valleys creates some extraudinary views from the elevated tees and the challenges are just as varying. This is a must play course if you are visiting the Gold Coast.

What a great golf course! It has so much variation between the holes with elevated tees, elevated greens, undulations, doglegs well placed hazards & beautiful layout.

This course meanders through a bush & rainforest setting with a many holes not running directly beside another hole. A pretty clubhouse, well equiped pro shop & a very friendly team of staff members as well.

Played here in Nov 07. Obviously a great course – as you would expect from a course of this standard. The pro shop is reasonably priced. Good food too.

Very scenic, set in a forest. Nice layout, with rough that won’t devour your ball, and not much water. So you shouldn’t lose too many balls.

One problem: very few distance markers on the course. How difficult is it to put distances on sprinkler heads? The only marker on most holes was the 150m stake, so most of the time was spent guessing what the distance was.

We played in this well maintained course recently and were impressed by the layout and the quality of the course

Played Robina Woods Oct 2006. What a fantastic course. You wouldn't believe your in the middle of the Gold Coast, with most holes surrounded in trees.

Fairways were lush, greens were in great shape. Excellent service and clubhouse.

The last 2 holes are absolute crackers. Nothing better than looking down the 18th to the clubhouse.

Do yourself a favour and have a round!

For an area that has more resort courses than you can poke a stick at, this is superb. Where it is not quite as good in the manicuring as the resort courses (it is still very good in that department), it more than makes up for in the course design. Instead of playing at the one elevation like a resort course, you are treated to many tee and green elevation changes which make the experience 3 dimensional instead of 2 dimensional. Fantastic!

Played Robina Woods in April 06 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The front nine wound its way through many interesting holes that from the back tees made for some very fantastic driving holes. The back nine started rather tamely but finished with a crescendo with two fantastic finishing holes in the par 17th all down hill to a narrow green and the 18th Par 5 that just sits there and says âÄúbring it onâÄ?. All in all a great experience and apart from the triple bogey on the last where I tried to go for the green in two and failed spectacularly I thought the course was an excellent lay out and in very good condition.

What a joy to play a golf course that wasn't just another "man-made" / flat / boring sculptured resort style golf course!

Robina Woods from the service at the golf shop to the cleansing beer in the bar afterwards lived up to its ranking one of the Top 25 Resort Golf Courses in Australia - certainly worthy of having hosted the Australian TPC some years back.

The front 9 wound its way through natural bushland with sloping greens testing all the shapes in the bag, while the back 9 was open at first then closed in to feature some spectacular elevated tee-shots and before the closing Par 5 18th played back towards their signature clubhouse.

I'll certainly be back next time I'm on the Golden "Golf" Coast...

Played at Robina Woods last week. Like all courses on the Gold Coast, I recommend early morning tee offs to avoid the crowds and the weather. Great set of holes to open the front nine. Good challenge for a high teens handicapper like myself, but was an enjoyable round all the same. Probably one of the better value golf rounds in the area.

No trip to the Gold Coast would be complete without a game at Robina Woods. It is a course of 2 different nines. I just loved the way the front nine winds among the timber using the natural lay of the land to shape the holes.

The back nine starts a little more open and you encouter a bit of water before 2 great finishing holes. A down hill Par 3 and a great par 5. Watch out for the bunkers to catch your drive at the base of the hill.

It was great to enjoy a beer and watch the rest of the group come down 18. One the prettiest sights looking back up 18 you will encounter. I loved it.
