Sandgate Golf Club

Historic waterside parkland nine in Shorncliffe, playing 18 to a par 36

Sandgate Golf Club is a private parkland course in Shorncliffe, Queensland, established in 1921 and located around 16km from Brisbane's CBD. The layout plays as 18 holes to a par of 36 over 5,477 metres, with 15 mapped bunkers and a mix of par 3, 4 and 5 holes. Facilities include a pro shop, clubhouse, restaurant/dining, coaching, cart and club hire, and parking. The course sits in a natural waterside setting next to Shorncliffe Railway Station.

With a century of history behind it, Sandgate has a reputation as a friendly, community-minded club where staff are often praised as welcoming and accommodating. Players generally find the course enjoyable and very playable, frequently noting well-maintained greens and a satisfying variety across the par 3s, 4s and 5s. Because the ground is low-lying, conditioning can be affected after heavy rain, though reviewers commonly observe that the ground staff work hard to keep things in good shape. The compact clubhouse comes across as small but well appointed. On busier days some visitors mention tight tee-time spacing and slower play, so booking ahead is worth the effort to enjoy this relaxed waterside layout.
