Lakeside is a short nine-hole course on Brisbane Road, Coombabah, with eight par 3s and one par 4 for a par of 28 over 1428 metres. The club describes it as narrow, with plenty of trees and bunkers, and says a round takes about 90 minutes. Reviewers regularly mention the kangaroos, plus koalas and birdlife, and note the water and good-looking greens. Because almost every hole is a par 3, golfers say a cart is not really needed, though motorised carts, pull carts and hire clubs are available. It is cheap: nine holes is $22 on weekdays and $25 on weekends, with 18 (two loops) at $34 and $37. Bookings are essential according to the club, and the pro shop is open seven days from early morning until dark, with everyone off the course by sunset. Golfers often describe it as a good spot for beginners and social rounds, and a few complain about how tee time availability and carts were handled by staff. Enclosed shoes are required and singlets are not allowed. Children under three are not permitted on the course. It suits beginners, juniors, short-game practice and anyone wanting a relaxed nine.
