Royal Queensland Golf Club is the premier Golf Club in Queensland and one of the finest in the Country boasting the number one golf course in the State.
The original course was designed by Carnegie Clark, the Australian Open Champion of the day, and was opened by the Governor-General Forster in 1921.
Due to the state Governments decision in 2005 to build a second Gateway Bridge over the famous course, the Club lost seven holes and construction of the new course was undertaken.
The new Championship Course was designed by Michael Clayton and completed in December 2007 it is currently rated the 30th best course in Australia.
“Royal Queensland is not a course where players will grow bored. The best lines to take from the tees and the best shots to play vary from day to day depending on the wind, the position of the flag, the state of one’s game and the state of a match. That is the essence of making the game interesting on more than just a superficial level and Royal Queensland is a course that captures that spirit.” Michael Clayton

Designed by champion golfer, Peter Thomson, the par 71 championship Hamilton Island Golf Club on neighbouring Dent Island measures 6,120 metres (6692 yards). The only championship island golf course in Australia, the course has been designed to challenge all levels of golf enthusiasts, from resort guests to professional golfers.
Given the changes in course elevation; restricted landing areas and the ever-present breezes will provide a definite challenge from the back tees and enjoyable resort golf from the forward marks.
The course is designed as a series of holes strung along the ridges and played across steep valleys and the course layout works with the landform, with generally broad fairways taking the “line of least resistance”, avoiding the steeper, more sensitive areas.
The par 71, 18 hole course features two distinctly different nine hole circuits returning to a central clubhouse with panoramic views of Dent Passage and Hamilton Island. The outward nine holes are a more compact layout around the centre of the island and the inward nine are strung out along the ridges to the south.

Ceduna is located on the shores of Murat Bay. The protected waters, sheltered bays and numerous sand coves ensure a plentiful supply of fresh seafood, including local oysters which, because of the bay’s crystal clear water are some of the finest available anywhere in the country. Coffin Bay Oysters (south of here) are particularly well known but oysters from Ceduna and Streaky Bay are just as good. Upon arrival at Ceduna Golf Club we tackle the first two holes of the Nullarbor Links Course – Hole One is the 485 metre Par 5 “Oyster Beds” and the second hole is the 370 metre Par 4 “Denial Bay”.
Penong Golf Course
Hole 3: Windmills, Par 4 – 260m
We move on to Penong – about 100kms to the west of Ceduna – to play the Third Hole. A lot of the local water for the township of Penong comes from windmills that pump from small underground basins near the town – hence the name of the Third Hole “Windmills” – a 260metre Par 4.
