The Glades Golf Club sits in Robina on Queensland's Gold Coast, designed by Greg Norman and opened in the early 1990s as part of a residential development. Norman's design takes advantage of the region's subtropical landscape, incorporating natural wetlands, mature eucalyptus stands, and the area's characteristic water features into a layout that emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length. The course reflects Norman's preference for wide fairways that reward positioning and greens defended by water and bunkering rather than narrow corridors. The routing moves through varied terrain for a coastal Queensland property, with elevation changes modest but sufficient to create visual interest and strategic options. Water comes into play on multiple holes, typical of Gold Coast courses built during this era, and the design asks players to manage risk around lakes and wetland areas that serve both aesthetic and drainage functions. The greens feature subtle undulation, and the bunkering style shows Norman's Australian influences combined with strategic principles drawn from classic designs. The Glades serves a membership drawn from the surrounding Robina community and the broader Gold Coast region. The club operates as a private facility with a focus on member play and social golf. The course has hosted regional amateur events and remains a fixture in the Gold Coast's golf landscape, offering Norman's design philosophy in a setting that balances residential context with playable, strategic golf.
