Wantima is an 18-hole course on South Pine Road, Brendale, with a par of 70 and a total of 5833 metres on the club's course tour. The front and back nines are both par 35, with a short par 3 10th and long par 5s at the 13th and 15th. The club was founded in 1969 and is open to members and the public. Golfers often mention water hazards, good greens and fairways, and attractive landscaping, with several saying conditions have improved in recent years and that further course upgrades are under way. Visitors book through the public booking calendar on the club site. Carts are allowed but must stay on cart paths and in the rough, and are not permitted on fairways. The club has a pro shop, lessons, junior programs, practice facilities and a clubhouse with dining, bar and function rooms. Reviews are sharply divided on the culture: some golfers find the staff friendly and the course great value, while a number of one-star reviews describe marshals and competition players as unwelcoming to casual visitors. The dress code is enforced, and one visitor was turned away for denim shorts, so read it before arriving. It suits golfers who want a well-presented, reasonably short par 70 test and do not mind a traditional club atmosphere.
