About Chinderah

The Brinsmead family originally used the property for sugar cane farming. The driving range was developed in the early 1990s to provide a haven for local golfers to practise their swings. The golf course was subsequently developed in response to the growing demand for the sport. 

The course (measuring 3,373m) features 18 holes with 18 tees, hundreds of trees, shrubs & native plants to provide a park-like golf links experience with dams, bunkers, mounds & swales. Showcasing manicured fairways and contoured greens with tiff-dwarf grass featured in all greens in the summer and oversown with Poa Trivialis in the winter.

The course par is 61 with a scratch rating of 58 and a slope rating of 70 for men and 74 for ladies. With a mix of challenging par 3’s and par 4’s, accurate drives and sharp iron shots are the keys to mastering the course. Chinderah Golf Course provides a keen challenge for accomplished players. The absence of hills makes it ideal (as a public golf course) for beginners and social players – the perfect place to learn and grow your golf game.

A social competition began in 1992 with local Senior players – men & ladies (over 50’s) playing on Monday mornings. This grew to take in Thursday mornings as well, with numbers of players increasing year on year.

A new club-house was built in 1998 to replace shipping containers previously used as the proshop/office. 

With the assistance of the Federal Government, Chinderah Golf Course became the first golf course in Australia to benefit from a scheme utilising town sewerage effluent (from Kingscliff & Chinderah) enabling us to fully water all fairways, greens and the driving range.

Following affiliation with Golf NSW in May 2018, Chinderah/Tweed Golfers now provides golfing events for members (aged 50 years & over) each Monday & Thursday in an official AGU competition. Visiting and holidaying golfers (with AGU or LGU handicaps and are aged 50 years of age & over), are welcome to join in the competitions. Times commence at dawn and generally run to 11 am.
