The late Norman van Nida (three-time Australian Open Champion in the 1950s) may have been in his late 70s when the 18 holes opened here in 1992 but he was still capable of recognizing a good course when he saw one so he was quick to endorse the opinion of many that Arundel Hills was – and still is – one of the premier golf venues on the Gold Coast.
The golf course at Arundel Hills is part of an extensive leisure complex that includes the requisite sporting facilities like swimming pool, gymnasium and tennis courts but for golfers, the main activity here takes place out on the fairways. Many of these are long and tight with plenty of water to contend with – in particular, at the evenly spaced holes at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18.
The signature hole is the 182-yard 15th, the shortest of the four par threes on the scorecard. Played downhill from the tee, the green is protected by water to the front and left with a putting surface that slopes markedly from back to front.
The course closed in May 2022.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
