sT lUCIA gOLF lINKS

St Lucia Golf Links is an 18-hole golf course, 5,411 meters long, designed to suit golfers of all levels (par 69). Nature, wildlife, and sport blend together on a course that was once a bird sanctuary.

Now approaching its 100th birthday, the course has grown remarkably over the last century. From the very beginning, its owners, Indooroopilly Golf Club, sought input from the world’s most renowned golf course architect, Alister MacKenzie, to enhance its layout. The course has continued to expand and improve ever since.
