Dating back to the 1950s, the course at Burleigh Golf Club offers a diverse playing experience, with a woodland front nine followed by a more open back nine. Designed and built by members, it’s now a regional star attraction. The club was originally founded as Burleigh Heads Golf Club but it changed its name to Gold Coast Burleigh Golf Club in 1970.
Squeezed into a 115-acre property, the layout measures just under 6,000 metres from the back tees, playing to a par of 71 (35 out then 36 in), with holes arranged as two returning nines. The current course configuration features three par threes on the front nine (at #4, #6 and #8), along with back-to-back par fives at #13 and #14.
Highlight holes include the right doglegging par four 2nd (with a lake to the right of the fairway as it bends towards the green); the long par four 10th (rated stroke index 1, with out of bounds on the right); and the last of the par threes at the 158-metre 17th, where an ornamental pond threatens the front left of the green.
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.
