Parkwood Village Golf Club

I really enjoy parkwood and the facilities that it brings but the 4 times i have played this course now it's been absolutely packed to the maximum number. It really brings the vibe down there. Tee times aren't spaced out enough. It just seems like they want to get as many people on and couldn't care less about nice smooth running tee times. Or at least make the 4 groups of 2 pair up. To make 2 groups of 4. I get people sometimes just want to hang with their mate, but this is an issue on this course. I've played 92 courses now and parkwood has by far the worst for this issue.

The course is great itself. A lot of people don't seem like rake bunkers or fix their divots on the greens.

Staff have always been friendly and the place is a joy to attend.

Easy to get booked and play and walk course. Lots of other work going on around course but after recent heavy rains course struggling to maintain drainage and bunkers. Reasonable value for money but would only play again if couldn’t get on another course on the Gold Coast.

Took 3.5h to play 10 holes before it got too dark, ridiculous (& paid for 18), nothing was moving and the front is Par 33 with mainly Par 3’s, fairways were average and greens rock hard. Felt like playing (if you can call it that) a Par 3 course, not recommended, sorry.

Ridiculous, took 3.5h to play 10 holes before it got too dark (paid for 18), nothing was moving & the front 9 has a lot of par 3’s, fairways not great and greens rock hard. Felt like playing (if you can call it that) a Par 3 course.

In my opinion this must be an extended 9 hole to 18 course. The front 9 is new and shows it. Very poor condition, like playing in a field . There were some interesting laid out holes - the par 3 4th especially but there were 5 par 3’s due to one hole being reduced to a 3 for local residents safety.

The back 9 was totally different, some good testing holes and a straight shot required - often especially off the tee.

The condition, especially the front 9 was poor, bare lies, sandy fairways, buggy path reduced to broken tarmac and rubble and no sand in bone dry bunkers.

Overall though this is a beginners course to enjoy a walk and not much else. Not one to play if you’re looking for a challenging teat of your ability

Over all nice to play at enjoyed the day nice layout.

Played today 7/7/2024 and the pace of play was the worst I've ever witnessed playing golf in over 20 years. Arrived 30 mins before tee off time to be met with a back log of buggies waiting at the first tee. Got talking to one of the earlier tee times and they were on a society day and the club managed to squeeze them to an already busy schedule. I was playing as a 2 ball and managed to get waved through by a group who were playing as a 6 ball?? We ended up catching the society group up by hole Hole 4 and they had no intention of letting us play through. I'm no Rory Mcilroy but these guys were spraying into the trees, into the water and all in all taking forever to play. In total it took us just short of 5 hours to play 18 holes which is horrendous. There were four lots of buggies behind us who had had enough and just drove through back to the clubhouse. All in all a long day.

Haha lovely round of golf with a guy I got paired with that was only his second time playing so it was lovely just having a relaxing game with him.

Then after my game I caught up with my fiance for lunch at the club. It was a lovely day.

I will be using golf now app to book all of my rounds.

The course ended up being flooded due to rain/thunder and lightning and cancelled after 9 holes

Phoned the next day and the staff were very amiable and offered a 9 hole credit

Staff were very customer orientated , will return to finish the round
