Founded in 1896, Brisbane Golf Club started out with a 9-hole course at its original location in nearby Chelmer. Eight years later, the club moved to its present site where Scots-born Sydney professional and three-time Australian Open Champion Carnegie Clark set out the new course. Today, the layout extends to 6,676 yards, playing to a par of 72. Of interest to those who follow developments in agronomy, Brisbane became the first club in Australia to reconstruct its greens with Champion Ultradwarf Bermuda grass and this three-year conversion exercise was completed in 2015. Feature holes include the 433-yard 5th, rated stroke index 1, with water running the length of the fairway on the left side of the hole, and the 376-yard 8th, where the Moolabin Creek crosses the fairways as it dips down towards the green. |
Reviews for Brisbane
Brisbane Golf Club was the first club to be built in Brisbane back in 1896. The Championship course is rolling parkland type with many water carries, dogleg holes with blind tee shots, and bunkers on every hole 
making for a tough challenge.
BGC put on a magnificent day with the course looking very sharp, with their fairways looking and playing in great condition, the new greens running true, superb staff and great insight from the members regarding course management.
Good elevation and directional change meets the golfer here, some of the vistas need to be opened up a bit to allow full appreciation of the course and to enhance it's quality. Bunkering could use revamp, just to enhance the course.
