Southport Golf Club

My first visit here left me with an excellent impression. Very friendly and helpful staff in the pro shop and in the bar. Great to sit on the verandah with a glass after a round of golf with a view overlooking the course. The course is in excellent condition, greens and fairways well treated. Quite challenging and good variation of holes. Am considering membership.

Visited for a Seminar on Thursday 2 Feb. The food was supplied by the Southport Golf Club and was superb. A variety of sandwiches with delicious fillings that didn't fall apart. Fluffy fresh scones with lashings of jam and cream and superior fresh fruit trays were amongst other offerings. My first visit and hopefully not my last. Thank you to those who did the catering.

I have been a keen golfer (but not a champion!) and have, ever since arriving on the Coast in 1981, been attracted to this club due to the convenient location, close to my Surfers Paradise office and the “traditional” nature of both the course and the clubhouse. When I first arrived it was difficult to obtain membership, however the club house was always capable of being accessed and used (even as a member of the public) for a pleasant meeting place, with free parking, for a drink and economical meal from 7.00am to 7.00pm - perfect lunch time venue suiting my business. It has been, in my view, a prestigious private members golf club, a joy to bring my friends and business acquaintances to! BUT the clubhouse is able to be used by members of the public. In the last couple of years I have preferred to use the clubhouse as my business “Office” - and I have become a “Friend of the Clubhouse Member” at the more than economical membership fee of $115/year and enjoy members food and drink 10% discounts. I give a firm recommendation to try this unique venue!
