Palmer Gold Coast, on Ron Penhaligon Way in Robina, is an 18-hole par 71 layout of about 6078 metres by the club's own figure, with an Australian Course Rating of 72. The club site credits the design to a Marsh and Watson team. The hole-by-hole guide describes creeks, water and bunkers coming into play on many holes, a mix of dog-legs and elevated or tiered greens, and three par 5s on the back nine, finishing with a par 5 18th with water on both sides. Golfers often describe it as one of the more challenging and enjoyable layouts on the Gold Coast, with excellent fairways at times. Reviews on condition are split: several say the course has improved and the greens are well kept, while others mention tired bunkers, bumpy cart paths and greens affected by aeration or renovation work. Many also say the fees feel high for the condition. The visitor rate published on the club page is $125 per person for 18 holes with a shared motorised cart. Booking is online through the club calendar. There is a covered driving range, a golf shop, a bistro with terrace dining and function rooms. The dress code is traditional, so check it before arriving. It suits golfers wanting a proper test and are happy to pay resort-style prices.
