Founded in 1924, Southport Golf Club is the first golf course on the Gold Coast of Queensland.
In 2024, we proudly celebrated our Centenary year, marking 100 years of golfing excellence and community spirit. Throughout the year, we researched and documented a wealth of information—fun facts, little-known stories, photographs, and news clippings. These insights are now available on our website, and we invite you to explore them at your leisure.
Set across 47 serene hectares featuring waterways, lakes, and abundant birdlife, our Club offers a challenging course just a stone’s throw from Surfers Paradise beach.
The pioneers of Southport Golf Club envisioned a place that combined challenging golf with a strong community culture. Today, that vision lives on. Steeped in tradition and with a heritage respected by both members and the wider community, Southport Golf Club continues to build an inclusive and forward-looking culture.
We offer social play 7 days a week, competition golf for men, women, and junior golfers, and a vibrant calendar of social functions, events, and dining experiences. We remain committed to setting new benchmarks in contemporary golf club offerings.
