Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Gracemere Lakes Golf Club?
We highly recommend visiting Gracemere Lakes during Australia's cooler, drier months, typically from April to October. You'll find the weather much more comfortable for a full round, avoiding the intense summer heat and humidity that can make play less enjoyable. The course conditions are usually at their prime during this period too.
How challenging are the "lakes" at Gracemere Lakes Golf Club, and do they really come into play?
Absolutely, the lakes are a defining feature here and you'll definitely be navigating them. They're strategically placed, demanding accurate shot-making, especially on the back nine where water seems to guard every green. Don't be surprised if you donate a few balls to the local aquatic life - it's part of the Gracemere experience.
Is it common to see Australian wildlife, like kangaroos, on the course at Gracemere Lakes?
You're in for a treat! Gracemere Lakes is known for its resident population of kangaroos, often seen grazing peacefully on the fairways, particularly in the early mornings or late afternoons. It adds a truly unique Australian touch to your round, just remember to give them their space.

It's a well-maintained local gem that provides a solid challenge for all handicaps at a very reasonable price point. You'll feel right at home here.
Are there any specific holes at Gracemere Lakes Golf Club that are particularly memorable or tricky?
Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th hole; it's a beauty but also a beast, requiring a precise carry over water to a well-guarded green. The finishing holes, especially 17 and 18, also demand your best, with water lurking and putting pressure on your final approach shots. It's a strong finish that will test your nerves.
