Located 10 minutes from Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in Australia, The Colonial designed by Mr Mitsuaki Kobayashi boasts beautifully groomed playing surfaces that are widely regarded as being in the best condition on the Gold Coast.
A farmland once home to cows, weeds and bush has been transformed into a beautifully groomed course with lush fairways and meticulously manicured greens. The par 72, championship resort layout, meanders its way through 39 hectares of eucalypts, picturesque lakes and serene waterways. Flowering native and exotic trees and plants abound, while ornate bridges cross the abundant watercourses which feature on all but the 10th hole so pack a few extra balls and get out there, as always enjoy!!!
I should point out that this is a RCR, I was a member here for quite a few years a while back so I had to get it in the game, plays pretty easy in game but it’s intimidating as hell with all the water and bunkering IRL. I started with Lidar and OSM, then detailed/planted the heck out of it. Turned out pretty sweet!

Course is great. TGC servers are not. P/P off every tee box. P/F with the same steady rhythm swing on approaches. Shorts shots were a nightmare. P/whatever it wanted to stop on.
I shut the game off.
Course is gorgeous though so I will try again and hope the server is stable.

Great stuff Rod. I will be putting this into my next XB1 Seniors society schedule.
I agree about it being tough IRL - I've played it a few times and usually lose a stack of balls into the water.
I had my wedding reception at the clubhouse when it was called Paradise Springs!

Sorry..but I'm here again. Fantastic work. I was surprised for the 16 holes with water involved at the Glades... And here they are just 18 Par 3s are simply beautiful.. And the accuracy of your work here is, if possible, still more astonishing. There's not a shadow missing. Everything is in its right place. You have great talent. uh..Sorry if i ask, but there is some crowds, in both of this courses? Again, thank you for your work. You made my day tonight, seriously, giving me the chance to know these fantastic aussie courses i shamefully still don't knew.
