Howeston Golf Course
Howeston Golf Course is Birkdale golf without the velvet rope: 27 public holes, three distinct nines and a pay-and-play setup that keeps Brisbane rounds refreshingly simple. Open since 1972, Howeston welcomes golfers from sunrise to sunset on most days of the year, with no membership and no advance booking required. Official green fees cover the same nine or 18 holes, while carts, clubs and pull buggies are available to hire. Come for an easygoing social round, mix the nines for variety, or use the practice facilities before chasing a score that behaves itself.
Reviews and ratings
4.0/5150 reviews
Bayside, family-run pay-and-play course with multiple small loops that mix up the routing; greens run true when tended but fairways and bunkers can be patchy. Very affordable and relaxed — expect a friendly community vibe, occasional slow groups and straightforward play.
