Jindalee Golf Club is a nine-hole public-access course in Brisbane's western suburbs, approximately 15 kilometres from the CBD. Golf was first played on the site in 1963, Jindalee Golf Club was formally established in 1967, and the completed course was officially opened on 21 February 1970. The layout was designed by former professional golfer Tom Southcombe on land that had been a mixture of farmland and bushland and is now owned by Brisbane City Council.
Alternate tees allow the nine physical holes to be played as an 18-hole, par-66 round measuring 4,714 metres from the men's tees. Golf Australia lists that course at a scratch rating of 66 and slope of 115. The compact routing uses doglegs, bunkers, mature trees, out-of-bounds boundaries and several water hazards, with different tee positions altering both distance and strategy on the second circuit.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 66, 4,714m (5,155 yards), course rating 66 and slope rating 115. Designed by Tom Southcombe, the course originally opened in 1963. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Putting Green, Golf Lessons, Club Fitting, Club Repair, Golf Club Hire, Golf Cart Hire, Push Buggy Hire, and 5 more.
Golf arrived at Jindalee during the early development of Brisbane's Centenary suburbs. The club's official history says the course was first open for use in 1963, when the surrounding district was still undergoing rapid suburban development. The site combined former farmland with bushland and is owned by Brisbane City Council.
Former professional golfer and Queensland course designer Tom Southcombe was engaged to lay out the course. Jindalee Golf Club was formally established in 1967, creating the organisation that would operate and develop the facility around the existing nine-hole layout.
Southcombe worked with a compact parcel of undulating land rather than attempting to create a long championship course. The resulting nine-hole routing uses alternate tees to change distances and playing angles when golfers complete an 18-hole round. The men's configuration totals 4,714 metres at par 66.
Water is deliberately incorporated on several holes, including the opening hole, the dogleg third, both versions of the fifth and the finishing hole. Trees, out-of-bounds boundaries, short doglegs, bunkers and relatively small greens provide much of the defence. The official course guide repeatedly emphasises positioning from the tee rather than raw length, particularly on the short par-4 seventh and sixteenth holes.
Although golfers had used the course since 1963 and the club was constituted in 1967, the completed course received its formal opening ceremony on Saturday 21 February 1970. Queensland Labour and Tourism Minister John Desmond Herbert officially opened the facility, while Brisbane Lord Mayor Clem Jones drove the ceremonial first ball. Volunteer labour became an important part of the club's development.
The official life-members history records extensive working bees and member involvement in maintaining and improving the course and clubhouse. That volunteer culture was particularly important after the major Brisbane flood of 1974, when members including foundation secretary Flav Weller helped repair flood damage to both the clubhouse and golf course.
Jindalee's role has been primarily local rather than as a national tournament venue. It developed alongside the Centenary suburbs and remains closely connected with community organisations and elected representatives. The club describes itself as a not-for-profit organisation and reports a substantial social membership in addition to its golfing membership.
Its accessibility and short nine-hole format have made it a community golf facility rather than a private members-only property.
Jindalee Golf Club continues to operate the nine-hole course from Brisbane City Council-owned land at 62 Yallambee Road. Social golfers are welcome and can play either nine or 18 holes, although tee times must be booked and public play is restricted during club competitions. The club operates an on-course pro shop offering PGA tuition, custom fitting, repairs and equipment hire.
The clubhouse contains a bistro, bar, outdoor dining and function facilities and is used by both golfers and the wider Centenary community.
