Gold Coast

Palm Meadows was the first resort golf course on the Gold Coast when it opened in 1987. Host to the Palm Meadows Cup in the 80’s & 90’s, this tournament at its peak had a prize pool of $1.4m - which in those days was a heck of a lot of money. The signature par 5, 18th hole is will test even the best of golfers, and makes for an exciting finish to your round.

The previous home to the Australian PGA Championships, this course has tested some of the biggest golfing legends in the game. The Green & Gold course is the 18 hole championship layout, whilst the Blue course gives visitors the option to play a composite 27 holes. Elevated greens, rolling fairways and pot bunkers provide a good challenge.
