RACV Royal Pines Resort

RACV Royal Pines Resort is a 27-hole facility in Benowa, Queensland, offering three distinct 18-hole combinations built from the Green, Gold, and Blue nines. The championship course — redesigned by Graham Marsh and home to the Australian PGA Championship and the ALPG Players Championship — combines the Green and Gold nines. Tight fairways, undulating greens, and bunkers placed throughout make it a genuine test. From the championship tees it stretches 6,734 metres, featuring six par 4s exceeding 400 metres, four par 5s over 500 metres, and a 209-metre par 3. The Blue nine to the west brings deep bunkers and natural land formations together with generous but undulating greens, pairing well with the Gold nine for a challenging round. Set against a tropical backdrop minutes from the Gold Coast's most famous beaches, the course is rated 4.7 by Hole19 golfers and ranks as one of the most-played courses in Queensland on Hole19.
