Indooroopilly (East)
Indooroopilly Golf Club, known locally as "Indra", boasts two Ross Watson championship redesigns, both dating from 1985. The East course combines the Blue and Green nines, while the usually higher-rated West course comprises the Gold and Red nines. Occasionally, other combinations of the four nines are also used (see Did You Know section below).
There is much to like about the variety and quality of the holes to be found on the East course (Blue-Green), with its pleasantly undulating layout and lovely views from the higher elevations. The layout features much less bunkering and water hazards than found on the West Course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

Excellent
Indooroopilly GC benefits from having four nine-hole loops of championship golf (green, blue, gold and red), which can be combined to create six different 18-hole combinations. Typically Indooroopilly has featured the East course (green-blue) and the West course (gold-red). But there's also the possibility to play the Long Pocket course (red-green), Captain's course (green-gold), President's course (red-blue) and River course (gold-blue).
Indooroopilly GC's original home was in St Lucia, just south of Brisbane. Here in 1926 they opened an 18-hole course, which is today's St Lucia Golf Links (a public course). In 1964, Indooroopilly added to their St Lucia course, with a second 18-hole layout a couple of kilometres further south at Long Pocket ... on the banks of a horseshoe bend in the Brisbane River. Based on exchanging the original St Lucia site for additional land at Long Pocket, the club developed their current 36-hole golf complex in 1976, and permanently moved away from their original St Lucia home.
Tournaments:
US Women's PGA Championship: located just outside Philadelphia, the famed Donald Ross layout of Aronimink Golf Club hosts the third women’s major championship of 2020 (Oct 8-11).
Scottish Open: first played in 1972, this year’s championship is again played on the Tom Doak-designed Renaissance Club course, which sits alongside mighty Muirfield in East Lothian (Oct 1-4).
Who's Who:
Jim Furyk: in winning the Pure Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach Golf Links, “The Grinder” joined Arnold Palmer and Bruce Fleisher as the only players to win their first two starts on the PGA Tour Champions.
Georgia Hall: recorded her first win in an LPGA Tour event on American soil at this year’s Portland Classic, played at Columbia Edgewater Country Club … on the edge of the Columbia River.
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
