The Glades Golf Club

The Glades Golf Club is a magnificent resort golf course of Queensland and features amongst the best courses of the Australian golf circuit.

History of the Course:

The Glades Golf Club is located at Robina, on the Pacific Highway, just off the magnificent Gold Coast of Queensland. The Glades project began here in 1995; the conversion of a seasonal flood plain area into a beautiful 18 hole championship course is what the amazing Glades course is all about.

The Glades Golf Course was designed by Australian golfing legend and architect, Greg Norman and his co-designer, Bob Harrison in the year 2000, and is owned by golfing great, Ian Baker-Finch.

The 6420 metres, par 72, Championship Course of the Glades Golf Club, spread over 65 hectares of natural wetland region, consists of a typical challenging, Norman-designed layout. The course consists of elevated greens, vast undulating fairways dotted with Norman's cleverly positioned, 98 testing bunkers and sand traps, along with the natural water hazards, that all combine to form a unique golfing challenge that tests the abilities of all golfers.

The greens on the course are well maintained and created out of the tropical bentgrass variety, which serve as an excellent putting surface and provide an immaculately splendid day of golf here at the Glades.

The Clubhouse of the Glades Golf Course serves golfers and guests with its grill bar and also through its wonderful, Glades Lodge and Spa, which rejuvenates one completely.

Course Trivia:

  • The Glades Golf Club & Spa was ranked earlier as Queensland's number one resort course, and also has played host to various golfing events including the Australian Gold Cup.
  • While creating his 'testing' golf course out of the natural wetlands, Norman also preserved space for a natural wildlife sanctuary within the course, that are now home to various species of rare Australian water birds.
  • The Glades Resort Golf Club also provides excellent accommodation facilities along with its Aveda spa, containing treatment rooms and also adjoining tennis courts and swimming pool.
  • The Glades Golf Club member, Amy Yang, is the winner of the ANZ Ladies Masters Tournament.
  • The Glades Golf Club also houses the Golf institute of Australia's famous golf instructor, Gary Edwin; he is the mentor to professionals like Peter Lonard and Paul Gow.

    The Glades Golf Club is a resort golf course that offers a wide range of playing times, 7 days a week.
