About the course
Peter Thomson par-72 links at Hope Island, ringed by pot bunkers and kangaroos
Links Hope Island is a par-72 links course measuring 5,729 metres at Hope Island on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Designed by Peter Thomson and Mike Wolveridge and established in 1993, it offers a strategic layout defined by its pot-style bunkers. This public course provides facilities including a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, clubhouse, cart and club hire, coaching, and parking.
The course enjoys a strong reputation among visitors, who consistently praise its immaculate conditioning and the welcoming, attentive service from bag drop through to the on-course refreshment cart. Players describe a layout that rewards good shots and punishes poor ones, with plenty of strategic challenge from the pot bunkers and water hazards while remaining enjoyable for golfers of all levels. The 5-star resort setting, lush surrounds and luxury cart fleet add to the sense of treating yourself, and many note the abundant local wildlife — kangaroos are a regular sight on the fairways. The well-regarded practice facilities and modern Mediterranean-style clubhouse round out an experience reviewers happily return to.
