How it compares
- Rated 4.2 on Google, about the typical 4.3 for courses around Brisbane.
Minnippi Golf & Range is on Minnippi Boulevard at Cannon Hill and is a Brisbane City Council public facility described as the city's newest pay-and-play golf course. Anyone can play without a membership, and rounds can be booked as 3, 6, 9 or 18 holes through the online booking page. The council lists a 20-bay driving range that takes walk-ins, golf coaching with private and group lessons, a golf shop hiring clubs, buggies and motorised carts, the Cooee Cafe and Restaurant, and free parking. Par and length aren't published on the pages we read. Golfers often describe the course as short and forgiving, good for beginners, juniors and casual players, though a few say the first holes needed work. There are no sand bunkers because the site is a flood plain; grass hollows and wooden slats are used instead. Reviewers mention fairways close together, so stray balls can reach neighbouring holes, which can be awkward for newcomers. Greens are generally well rated and carts have screens showing course information. Pace of play is a common complaint, with some rounds running long. The range is dog friendly and has lounges at the bays. It suits beginners, families and anyone wanting a casual round close to the city.

“Regularly go to the Minnippi GR to play golf and practice. (I think Minnippi means pink in someone’s language??) A shortish course for me but a good challenge for the newer player and juniors. There are no sand bunkers on course but…”
