Links Hope Island is reminiscent of the great courses in Britain and Ireland and is an 18 hole traditional ‘links’ style championship course. The course has an AGU rating of 74. The course consists primarily of two loops of nine holes. The front and back nines are separated by an extensive practice facility, consisting of putting greens, driving range and chipping green with bunkers.
Since opening in March 1993, the golf course at Hope Island has consistently ranked in Australia’s top ten resort courses. Host to the 1997 Johnnie Walker Classic and Qantas Legends Golf Classic, the course is both nationally and internationally renowned.
Designed by five times British Open Champion, Peter Thomson, and partner, Mike Wolveridge, it is rated by Australian golfing legend, Peter Senior, as “one of the best championship links courses you’ll play”.
An iconic course it forms the centrepiece of the Hope Island Resort located on the north shore of the Gold Coast, just 20 minutes from Surfers Paradise and 40 minutes from the Brisbane CBD.
