In 1992 the course opened as Paradise Springs Golf Course.

The 6,424 metre, par 72, championship resort layout, meanders its way through 39 hectares of towering eucalyptus, picturesque lakes and serene waterways. Flowering native and exotic trees and plants abound, while ornate bridges cross watercourses in which luxuriant lilies jostle for space.

Day 3

RACV Royal Pines
Tee Time – 9:00am
With three 18-hole, par-72 combination layouts including a Championship course, a visit to Royal Pines guarantees a memorable round of golf for both serious and casual golfers. Situated just a short drive from Surfers Paradise and embracing the natural formation of the land, the course boasts superbly manicured greens, scenic lakes, deep bunkers and an idyllic backdrop of the mountains.
In recent years the championship course underwent a complete re-design by renowned golf course architect, Graham Marsh. For those wanting the ultimate test, the Green combination course, from the championship tees, measures 6,690 metres, with six par 4s measuring over 400 metres, four par 5s that are over 500 metres long and a 201-metre par 3. It all adds up to a tough series of holes when you factor in the parade of bunkers that come into play on most holes, and the far-reaching swales surrounding a slew of elevated greens.
The Gold combination course is comprised of the Gold nine and the Blue nine. The blue nine, located on the western side of Ross Street, proves that shorter is not always easier in golf. While the longer hitters may find some par 4s reachable from the tee, they are surrounded by strategically placed bunkers. The challenge on this nine is to play smart.

This is going to be a whole new experience for everyone involved. The same course, playing off the same tee 4 days in a row. Does it favour the hacker or the most experienced golfer, or like every year (except 2018), will it be pot luck who wins?!?!?
