The course is renowned for its abundant wildlife, including daily Rainbow Lorikeet feedings at 4 pm, and sightings of kangaroos and other native species. Notable holes include the 18th, a 394-meter par 4, considered one of the most challenging finishing holes, with a narrow landing area and multiple bunkers guarding the green.
Not a true links course by design but still has to endure the elements. A real test when the wind is blowing with great drainage and interesting holes.

The course is renowned for its meticulously groomed fairways and type 328 couch greens, complemented by native and exotic flora, ornate bridges, and tranquil lily-covered ponds . A standout feature is the Queenslander-style clubhouse, designed by Alan Griffith Architects, featuring wide, breeze-catching verandahs that provide panoramic views of the course and the Gold Coast hinterland
The nearby Bass Strait and sand dunes along with the weather conditions provide a course reminiscent of famed Scottish links. The undulating terrain, in harmony with the natural features of the land will ensure that you will remember time spent at Barwon Heads.
While not especially long, the Links will test golfers of all standards with cleverly positioned hazards, subtle slopes and greens, along with challenging tee positions. The wind ensures that the course rarely plays the same way twice in the one week.
