More Golf Courses and Practice Facilities for Kids in Brisbane
Four more genuine junior golf options around Brisbane, beyond our Bayside guide, from full courses to Toptracer-equipped practice centres.
Beyond our Brisbane Bayside guide, Brisbane has more genuine junior golf options worth knowing about — from a course with real design pedigree to purpose-built practice centres that are often easier for younger beginners to start at than a full 18 holes.
St Lucia Golf Links — St Lucia
St Lucia Golf Links is an 18-hole, par-69 course opened in 1926 with design influenced by Alister MacKenzie (the architect behind Royal Melbourne), and has hosted the Queensland Open.
Runs a well-documented junior program in two formats: 8-week Weekly Lessons during school term, and 3-hour school-holiday Junior Camps covering the "7 Shots of Golf" plus rules and etiquette, across six progress-tracked levels, with equipment included. Green fees are $32 for 9 holes, $51 for 18, and no membership is required.
Golf Central — Brisbane Airport
Golf Central isn't a full course but a large practice and entertainment complex at Skygate: a 50-bay floodlit driving range with Toptracer ball-tracking technology, an 18-hole par-2 putt-putt course and a dedicated coaching centre.
Runs term-time Junior Clinics for ages 6-16 (small groups, PGA coaches) and Junior Holiday Camps for ages 5-10, plus a School Holiday Golf Clinic for ages 6-12 with some prior course experience.
Big Easy Golf & Leisure Centre — Fitzgibbon
Big Easy Golf & Leisure Centre is a walk-up practice facility in Brisbane's north with covered driving bays, a chipping and putting green, a bunker and floodlit night play — no full course, and no bookings required.
Reported (via a local parenting directory, not directly confirmed on the club's own site) to run Friday after-school and Saturday morning Junior Clinics hosted by a PGA professional, capped at eight children. Confirm current details before enrolling.
Ipswich Golf Driving Range & Putt Putt — Raceview
Ipswich Golf Driving Range & Putt Putt is a practice facility west of Brisbane with 25 covered, lit driving bays, a lit chipping area, putting green, two indoor simulators and an 18-hole putt-putt course.
Runs a clearly priced junior coaching program with AA-accredited PGA professional Scott Berry: $90 for a 7-week term (six lessons at the range, a final lesson on-course), for ages 5-14, with all equipment provided.
Where's the easiest, lowest-cost starting point?
Ipswich Golf Driving Range's $90, 7-week junior term is the most affordable, clearly priced option here, and its range-and-putt-putt format is a gentler entry than a full course for a genuine beginner.
