About the course
Island fun nine on Macleay, reached by a scenic bay ferry
Bay Islands Golf Club is a 9-hole, daily-fee course on Macleay Island in Queensland, set between the Gold Coast and Brisbane and reached via a short ferry from Redland Bay Marina. The course is maintained by greens keepers and volunteers, with a courtesy bus operating Wednesday to Sunday. Facilities include a pro shop, restaurant and dining, plus cart and club hire. Electric buggies are available, or you can walk with a free pull-along cart.
This relaxed island nine has built a reputation as a genuinely fun, friendly day out, with players consistently praising the beautifully kept grounds and the easygoing community feel. The journey is part of the appeal — visitors often mention the ferry crossing, with the chance to spot dolphins and dugong, and the convenient courtesy bus to and from the course. Many reviewers single out the welcoming bar staff, lively clubhouse atmosphere and the verandah overlooking the course as much as the golf itself. The dining draws warm comments too, with the bistro and cold drinks frequently called out as highlights. Overall it comes across as an unpretentious, sociable spot that's just as enjoyable for casual visitors as for keen golfers.
