About the course
Beautifully presented Brisbane parkland, a joy in any weather
Gailes Golf Club is a daily-fee parkland course in Wacol, Queensland, established in 1924 and located roughly 35 minutes from Brisbane. The layout features minimal water carries and is regarded as one of the premier courses in Queensland and a strong wet-weather option in the area. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, coaching, and parking.
Players consistently praise Gailes as well-kept, beautifully presented and challenging but fair, with holes that vary in difficulty to keep a round interesting. Reviewers single out the elevated tees, well-placed bunkers and water hazards, along with greens and fairways that are reliably in good condition. The setting earns plenty of affection too, with abundant wildlife — including large mobs of kangaroos — and scenic landscaping adding to the experience. Visitors also note the friendly community of players, helpful staff, modern golf buggies, easy access, ample parking and good value. The overall impression is of an enjoyable, welcoming parkland course that holds up well even after rain.
