About this course
Brookwater Golf Club is located in the master-planned community of Brookwater, approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Brisbane's central business district. The course was designed by Greg Norman and his design team and opened in the early 2000s as the centerpiece of a residential development. Norman's design philosophy emphasizes strategic options and risk-reward scenarios, and Brookwater reflects his approach to creating courses that challenge players of varying skill levels while integrating naturally with the surrounding landscape. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours and vegetation, incorporating native Australian flora and water features throughout. The layout includes a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with several elevated tees providing views across the course and surrounding bushland. Water comes into play on multiple holes, requiring careful course management. The design features wide fairways that encourage aggressive play off the tee, but strategic bunkering and water hazards demand precision on approach shots. Brookwater has hosted professional events on the PGA Tour of Australasia, including tournaments that have attracted both domestic and international fields. The course serves as a private facility for members and residents of the Brookwater community, though it has maintained visibility in Queensland golf through its tournament hosting and its association with Norman's design portfolio. The club offers dining and practice facilities that complement the golf course, and its location within the residential development creates a resort-style atmosphere while remaining accessible to Brisbane's western suburbs.

Getting there
Brookwater Golf Club sits within the sprawling residential estate of Brookwater, approximately 45 minutes southwest of Brisbane International Airport (BNE), Australia's gateway to Queensland's Gold Coast hinterland. The drive from the airport traces the M1 motorway through Brisbane's western suburbs before peeling away into the carefully manicured landscape of the Brookwater development, where tree-lined boulevards and rolling fairways announce your arrival at this private members' sanctuary. For those chartering into the region, the Gold Coast Airport (OOL) to the south offers a marginally closer alternative, though Brisbane remains the primary hub for international visitors. The final kilometres unfold through the club's own gated community, a seamless transition from Queensland's subtropical sprawl into one of Australia's most meticulously planned golf estates.
