This is not the case anymore and we are seeing an increase in younger people taking up the sport. I had never really tried playing golf before but decided to head down to the Mt Gravatt Driving Range and try my hand at it. I was quite surprised that for a club and 100 balls it only cost 11 dollars and there was no time limit either. It was a little bit busy but they had a lot of lanes or driving areas that you could use. I was more concerned for the first time of making a fool out of myself and being laughed at by the pros. Thank fully the people did not laugh but instead some of them even came and gave me some tips. I have to say that after that day I have a new respect for golf because its not easy to get into to. I did persist and went back a few times and once you find your rhythm it can get quite addictive because you want to try hit further and more accurately every time. I do like the fact that its quite cheap and if you just want to go out and practice your swing or just hit something then head down and see how much fun it can be.

Putt Putt seems to be an activity that has followed me my entire life. I remember vividly playing…read more weekly rounds of ultra competitive Putt Putt with my family on the Gold Coast as a kid. Since moving the Brisbane Putt Putt has since fallen off my radar... until now! A friend of mine recommended we go to Victoria Park (up near Kelvin Grove) and play some night Putt Putt for a bit of fun. Intrigued by the proposal I agreed and we made our way there around 7 o'clock that night. Initially I was a bit nervous that the repressed, competitive, Putt Putt demon within would bare all seven of its malevolent heads, however these concerns were soon alleviated due to the low admission fees and the presence of alcohol, which can be purchased and consumed legally on the course. Also, I was honestly relieved to notice that the majority of the people there were younger adults doing something a bit different with their Friday night. There were indeed kids and families around but they became adorable accessories to the evening, as opposed to tiresome obstacles. The course itself was in fact a lot of fun. Though there are no gimmicky windmills or miniature rollercoaster-things, the course still proved to be very entertaining. Each hole has three different levels of difficulty; so all players can still have a good time. Being the competitive psychopath that I am I insisted we play on the top-level of difficulty, which proved to be mostly accomplishable (all those years of competitive Putt Putting paid off). The entire experience was genuinely a lot of fun! I'm even sure I would of managed to have a good time even if I didn't win, which I did. Victoria Park is definitely a great way to break the mold and do something different with your mates around Brisbane. Though inevitably we all end up back in Fortitude Valley, Victoria Park Putt Putt is definitely worth a gander.

Putt Putt is definitely one of those things best done with a small group. Yesterday, I had my first…read moreattempt at putt putt and I have to say it is so much fun! I highly recommend if you are up for something a little different. You can of course, purchase alcohol as you make your way around the course. It has the potential to make the last few holes rather interesting. From selecting a stick that feels 'lucky', to taking that first nerve racking swing and everyone getting a bit competitive towards the end, it is genuinely a fun day. Girls, wear flat shoes and take a shoulder bag that won't get in the way. Holding a putter, a glass of wine, your ball and your bag can be a bit of a challenge otherwise!

The Pacific Golf Club was formed in 1937 at Kessels Road, Mt Gravatt, before relocating to its…read morecurrent site on Pine Mountain Road, Carindale, in 1964.

Not a golfer myself, I have accompanied friends who've played and can say the clubhouse is very nice on a hot day.

After all, even community courses these days aren't the cheapest when it comes to playing 18 holes, and when you add in travel, lost balls, tees and that all-important stop at the 19th hole, well, let's just say I like to "play it save!" - every pun intended! I first had a hit at Ashgrove Golf Club a few years ago and was immediately impressed by the greens and fairways on this challenging, yet forgiving course. It's conveniently located off Waterworks Road and is really located in The Gap, so how it came to be known as Ashgrove Golf Club is anyone's guess. However, what's in a name at a golf course is something we care less about than being able to enjoy a swinging good time, and that's exactly what you'll find if you go. Visitors pay just $29 for 18 holes and score a motorised cart from Monday-Wednesday, or $27 without the cart. Weekend and holiday play is $32 (without a cart) and if you're lacking either clubs or shoes, don't worry - you can hire them from the club. The idyllic surrounds of the course, which is located only 8km from Brisbane's CBD, is located at the base of the Taylor Range and is covered by lush vegetation and tall trees that come into play on almost every hole. The course layout is easy enough for a pull cart, and once your play is over you can flip for bragging rights with a coldie at the Outlook Bistro while watching others tackle the 18th.

The holes are very imaginative, a UV area, putting through a car, a skeeball hole, an "iron" throne made of golf clubs, oh and the 18th hole is fantastic!! With a bar inside and outside drinks are plentiful, I would suggest saving most of your drinking for after though as you will need to have some dexterity for a few of the holes. We had an amazing time and i think that this is well worth a trip into the city for a bit of fun! At the time of review prices are 9 holes for $16.50, per person 18 holes for $33 per person, which is a bit expensive of your planning on taking the kids (kids are welcome before 5pm for legal reasons). But I highly recommend doing it at least once! Will make another date night here soon i think!

There are nine holes in total but you can play 18, you'll just have to repeat the course. Not that that's a bad thing particularly if you're starting out. Non members are welcome. We had a voucher for a round of golf but since we had an extra person we only paid $14 for them. We also had their fish and chips and it was massive. You get two pieces of fish, some salad and chips. It may not sound like much but it was. If you are a beginner like us, then I strongly recommend getting there early, around 11am. We had the course to ourselves for about 2 hrs before others started coming. So we were able to learn how to hit the ball and such. If it gets a little crowded and you're a slow golfer, it's best to let the faster ones ahead of you just so you don't feel rushed and so that they can go on with their game. There is a dress code, the minimum standard is: shoes, socks, tailored shorts and collared shirt. Be sure to bring a hat and sunscreen too and water to keep you hydrated.

As golf courses go this place is incredibly small compared to other places around Brisbane. Imagine a really big pitch and putt. Mostly Par 2's and 3's this course is great for beginners or maybe anyone wanting to practice their short game. No need to bring a driver, we comfortably got around the course with just a Pitching Wedge, 7 Iron and a putter. They are a lot more relaxed about their dress code than most places. Just make sure you don't wear board shorts and thongs.
