The Glades Golf Club boasts a reputation as one of the most prestigious resort style golf courses in Australia and located on the beautiful Gold Coast. The Glades greens are unique to any other golf course on the Gold Coast and will ensure a superior putting surface all year round as they consist of a new type of “Creeping bent grass” that offers a true putting surface and is the preference of professionals and amateurs alike.

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 course is particularly famous for its opening and closing holes. The first hole is considered one of the most challenging opening holes globally, with water running the length of the hole on the left and the world-famous Bamboo Curtain forming a barrier to the right. The signature 18th hole, a 523-meter par-5 dogleg, has been recognized by American Golf Digest as one of the world's top 500 golf holes.
