The Palms golf course underwent an $8.8 million reconstruction and redesign by renowned golf course architect Ross Watson and is consistently ranks in the Top 100 golf courses in Australia.
Stretching 5,904 metres off the championship tees, The Palms golf course offers a classic design that celebrates the traditions of the game. Framed by century-old cabbage palms, it features a par-70 layout defined by strategic bunkering, water hazards, and subtle elevation changes that demand thoughtful shot-making and control.
Considered a championship course to rival some of Australia’s finest, The Palms golf course has been refined by Crafter + Mogford Golf Course Architecture to enhance its natural contours while preserving its distinctive balance of playability and challenge. Tee placements have been designed to accommodate varying skill levels, ensuring an enjoyable yet testing experience for every player.
