Ashgrove Golf Club — Restaurant in Brisbane City

A friend and I arranged a game in the interest of joining as members. 18 holes was booked with a cart and a meeting post game to discuss membership. On arrival to play on Sunday, we were met by a grumpy, extremely unfriendly man who said there are no carts and no way we were told we would get one...either walk with the course pull-carts or leave. This attitude flowed onto other players in the pro shop. So strike one. The front 9 was very nice, picturesque and well maintained. The back nine there are too many par 3's and extreme dog-legged par 4's, which let the course down, strike 2.

Hole 3 and 7 were my favourite par 3’s, well thought out, challenging and beautiful. Hole 15 and 16 provide a wonderful challenge with near...

The course saw some recent storms and was clearly suffering. A few trees down, lots of leaf litter on the fairways and bunkers were washed out and very hard. Despite that, it appears the course could do with a good overhaul. Ball washers were broken, tracks were rough and the greens and fairways were below average. While I accept that we played at a bad time, they were still charging $24 to walk nine holes; we were given no warning about its poor condition nor a discount. The course has some great potential and is in a beautiful setting but I doubt I'd go back again. The bar, and the staff that worked...
