The Glades Golf Club

Greg Norman–designed parkland challenge on the southern Gold Coast

The Glades Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 parkland course in Robina, Queensland, measuring 7,264 metres. Designed by Greg Norman, the layout features extensive bunkering and a variety of well-protected green complexes. The course is open to the public and offers a pro shop, restaurant/dining and cart hire.

The Glades enjoys a strong reputation as one of the southern Gold Coast's most enjoyable rounds, with players consistently praising its phenomenal layout and the variety of its green complexes. Many describe the fairways as wide and forgiving off the tee, with the real challenge coming from clever approach shots into well-protected greens. Reviewers regularly single out friendly, helpful staff and good food in the clubhouse as part of the experience. Putting surfaces draw frequent praise for their condition, though impressions vary, with some visitors noting periods where bunkers and greens slipped from their best and the practice range showing its age. Pace of play can occasionally stretch a round, but the overall sentiment points to a memorable, challenging course many are keen to play again.
