Our course
Whether you’re an experienced golfer or brand new to the game – get that green bill of health and enjoy the benefits of a round at Minnippi!
Minnippi is an 18-hole golf course designed by renowned golf course architects Phil Ryan & Paul Greeves of Pacific Coast Design.
The land, a major natural floodplain, presented a challenge but also an opportunity for the design team – how to manage the space and make use of stunning natural surrounds whilst ensuring the least amount of environmental disruption (including the delicate squirrel glider population in the area (which actually features in our logo!)
Minnippi offers a unique golf experience with not a single bunker on course (often the undoing of even the best players). Alternatively, players will be met with treated timber fences which create grassy hollows near greens and at traditional ‘bunker’ positions, an Australian first. Did you know these treated timber palings are actually recycled railway sleepers!
This course design will ultimately improve round times and provide players a new and fun experience.
Housekeeping
(or greenkeeping should we say)
Minnippi Golf & Range will be open 6am – 6pm, Monday – Sunday.
*Times subject to change based on events and functions.
Just kidding! We are a public course, so (almost) anything goes (maybe keep the stilettos at home).
Keep in mind the terrain and length of walking (which may include native crawlies!), so we recommend appropriate footwear.
Unsure? Feel free to pop into the Golf Shop and grab something! Tops, shirts & caps available.
We will make you feel
welcome here.
As you can probably tell, we are quirky, cheeky and a little bit fun – and our little energetic team reflects this. It is our ambition to create a sense of community – a space where regulars are remembered, and newbies are appreciated.
Meet the team!

I’ve been with Clublinks for several years managing a golf course down in Victoria, and recently made the trek north (travelled 1,767km to be part of the Minnippi Team to be exact) and couldn’t be more keen to get stuck in and create an amazing facility experience for all that visit.
The best thing about the facility is that it is brand new and we can bring the community along for the journey, plus an amazing view from the top!
I truly love the industry that I work in and the ability to provide a great product & experience for patrons and the connections you can make with the community. Really looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Favourite golf pun: This guy spends more time in the sand than David Hasselhoff (a classic line in the movie Happy Gilmore which as a movie puts a smile on the dial)

My favourite hobby is my job, as it’s not really a job at all (don’t tell Mitch!).
Interacting with people and coaching them on how to play golf is my everyday hobby that I have done for a lifetime.
What I love about Minnippi is its brand new and has a fantastic 20 bay driving range, open for all!
The best thing about the golf industry is the diverse people that are so passionate about playing, discussing the sport and the polar opposite perspectives – take LIV Golf as an example!
Favourite golf pun: A bad day at golf is a fairway better than your best day at work….

I am super excited to be a part of the Minnippi Golf & Range team, bringing you all the fun and excitement that the venue has to offer!
I am a Brissie local but grew up on the sunny Gold Coast! I love sport, coffee, helping others, being outdoors, my beautiful golden retriever, Bonnie, and all things creative!
What I love about my role here and Minnippi as a venue, is that it’s brand new, home to the best (not bias...) 18-hole golf course, 20-bay driving range and mouthwatering food & beverage offerings, and will be a place that welcomes ALL.
I look forward to meeting all of the wonderful people in the Minnippi community!
Favourite golf pun: Stay humble and put your eagle aside

As a 4170 local I’ve been excited to see the development of the new course and am proud to be a member of the opening team!
I can’t wait to get to know our new customers and introduce you to the Minnippi course. I’ve had a lot of fun putting together a food and beverage offering with a spin on locally sourced products that I can’t wait to share with you.
In my spare time I enjoying hanging out with my border collies, Rocky and Finn, going to concerts and drinking champagne!
Favourite Golf Pun: It takes a lot of balls to golf the way I do

Above all golf should be fun! You should enjoy the “getting better”.
People care how much you know when they know how much you care – As your golf professional – I am part coach, game manager, caddy, cheerleader and psychologist – your challenges are my challenges; your success is my success.
After the past 8 years as the Golf Programs Manager at the PGA IGI and the 15 years as the Head Golf Professional at Burleigh Golf Club (10 years) and Inverell Golf Club (5 years) – I have developed a successful game development approach through the ability to deliver golf information in simple and clear terms and taking the role as a “partner “in your continual improvement.
My aim is to make you a better golfer not just have a better swing providing a holistic approach to improve your game at every stage of your golf development.
Golf can be challenging and frustrating, but it can also be exhilarating and rewarding. It’s the challenge which makes the sense of accomplishment so rewarding. Whether you are just starting out or have been playing for years – I believe there is a swing and style of play which gives you your best chance to play your best golf.
