Parkwood International Golf Course

Overview: Central Parkwood provides a public par-72 round over 18 holes in the central Gold Coast suburb of Parkwood. The current layout measures about 6,043 metres and combines tree-lined fairways, waterways and shaped greens in a setting that is easy to reach from the coast. It is a practical round for visitors who want golf close to Surfers Paradise and the major Gold Coast attractions, while the water and mature vegetation give the course enough character to reward careful shot selection.

History: Parkwood has developed as part of the Gold Coast’s public golf network rather than as a closed private club. The facility combines a full championship course with clubhouse and practice amenities, allowing it to serve local members, social golfers and travelling groups. Its current identity is tied to the Parkwood Village precinct, where golf and everyday leisure sit together in a suburban but green environment.

Did You Know? The course’s 6,043-metre boundary length does not tell the whole story because water appears on several of the key approach lines. The official course description emphasizes greens, waterways and fairways together, which is a useful reminder that Parkwood’s challenge is not only about finding distance from the tee.
