Kooindah Waters Golf Club

The course and accommodation were fantastic, and the restaurant served high-quality meals at reasonable prices. We stayed four nights and will book a week next time. The place has indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a fully equipped gym, a kids playground, and BBQs. The birds and other wildlife were a highlight, along with the sunrises and sunsets. Staff were relaxed but professional. A must for golf lovers, their families, and friends.

This is a scenic, well-kept course, but it's tough. There's a lot of water, so bring plenty of balls and make them cheap ones. Losing balls adds to the cost of a round. The bunkers are challenging too, and some fairways have hazards crossing the middle. I can accept lateral water hazards when I hit into them, but a cross-fairway hazard can punish a good shot. The course is already difficult without those.

We visit fairly often and always enjoy the afternoon. The staff are pleasant and accommodating, and they applied our Accor membership discounts without any hassle. There's plenty of free parking, and after the meal you can walk through the lovely gardens. The Mercure Hotel has a lovely setting, with water features, golf greens, and a large covered outdoor dining area. There's a range of seating, including quieter spots. On Sunday afternoon there was live music from a solo female singer. The menu was extensive and well priced, and the food was quite good. A very pleasant visit each time.

Kooindah Waters Golf Course is a nice, challenging course with lovely fairways. The course overall is really good, though some greens were disappointing. They were soft, but a few had dead patches, and one was more dead than alive, which was a shame.
