Wildlife is part of the action: kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and native birds share the terrain and may appear along your walk.  One particularly famous hole is the 535m Par‑5 22nd, known for its demanding length and tight lines.  The 13th is another standout — a classic downhill tee shot sweeping around forest to a green guarded by bunkers.

The greens are well‑maintained and subtly contoured — accurate approaches and good pace reading pay dividends. After your round, the clubhouse offers panoramic views, modern dining, and a warm atmosphere where you can relax, share stories of your round, and plan your next tee time.

Set amid gently undulating terrain framed by the Nerang River, it offers tight fairways, deep bunkers, and fast, sculpted greens—with scenic lakes influencing play on nine holes .  The standout signature is the par‑3, 170 m 7th hole on the Gold nine (or 16th on the Green/Gold course), featuring a narrow water carry and challenging bunkering.

Facilities are top-tier: a full driving range, short-game areas, practice greens, pro shop, and an elegant clubhouse with dining and bar services. 

Just a short drive from Surfers Paradise and the beaches, Royal Pines Golf Course delivers a varied, beautifully conditioned, and challenging playing experience ideal for both serious competitors and casual players alike.

The par-71 layout spans approximately 5,790 meters from the championship tees. Notable holes include the 7th, a 375-meter dogleg par 4 with a blind tee shot descending into a steep fairway, and the 8th, a picturesque par 3 surrounded by a 35-megalitre irrigation dam nestled against native bushland.

Facilities include a fully equipped pro shop, driving range, and practice areas. The recently renovated Oak & Vine restaurant and bar offers all-day dining with spectacular views of the lake and course
