GCR Score: 4.0 / 5
Verdict: Recommended for affordable 27-hole variety and serious practice facilities
Best For: Logan locals, improving golfers, families, and value-focused members
Think Twice If: Consistently premium conditioning matters more than price and variety
Last Reviewed: 4 July 2026
A$50 buys a weekend round across two of Meadowbrook’s three nines. That is the headline from this Meadowbrook Golf Club review.
The public Logan facility offers 27 holes, a floodlit Toptracer range, and unusually inexpensive annual subs. Junior membership is currently free.
The layout is friendly rather than visually dramatic. Broad landing areas and modest slopes help social players, while water protects several scoring holes.
Condition reports are less consistent. Recent golfers have described both enjoyable greens and weak fairway presentation, particularly after difficult weather.
I recommend it for practice, variety, and regular affordable golf. Check recent conditions before building a special trip around one round.

Course Overview
Image: Meadowbrook Golf Club
Meadowbrook is an accessible 27-hole public course built around variety rather than one signature routing. Three nines create three possible combinations.
All three nines play to par 36 from the men’s card. Combined distances vary, so golfers should check the day’s routing before comparing scores.
The club sits in a green Logan corridor near the M1. It feels more open and relaxed than its urban location suggests.
The Logan City Council implementation plan identifies the golf club as a community recreation asset with upgrade potential.
The official club brochure describes three different 18-hole layouts and inter-club competition. The extra nine is Meadowbrook’s strongest competitive advantage.
Our key takeaway: Meadowbrook’s range and extra nine make the total value stronger than the course alone.
Course Design and Standout Holes
Meadowbrook rewards straightforward driving, but water and changing angles prevent every nine from feeling identical. It remains approachable for newer golfers.
The opening nine contains the longest overall stretch. Its first and ninth holes demand committed drives from the back markers.
The middle nine mixes medium par fours with reachable scoring opportunities. Water and tree lines punish misses without making recovery impossible.
The third nine measures about 2,986 metres from blue markers. Its slope around 111 suggests moderate difficulty for bogey golfers.
Daily rotation matters more than any single signature hole. Ask which nines are operating if one combination suits your available time or handicap.
Green Fees and Visitor Access
Meadowbrook’s current public price is excellent for greater Brisbane. Online booking is cheaper than paying through the golf shop.
| Visitor Option | Live Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 18 holes, weekday | A$45 | Prepaid online rate |
| 18 holes, weekend | A$50 | Includes Sunday and selected holidays |
| Nine holes, weekday | A$35 | Subject to available routing |
| Nine holes, weekend | A$40 | Prepaid online rate |
| 18 holes plus shared cart | A$67.50 per player | Shown as A$135 for two players |
These live rates were checked on 4 July 2026. Saturday, Sunday, and public-holiday bookings require online prepayment.
Changes require at least 48 hours’ notice. The club usually issues booking credit rather than a cash refund unless it closes the course.
Course Conditions
Image: Meadowbrook Golf Club
Condition is Meadowbrook’s main variable and the strongest reason to check recent feedback. Value does not guarantee premium presentation.
Independent 2025 and 2026 reports range from good green speed to disappointing fairways. Temporary greens have also appeared during maintenance periods.
Call before a special visit after sustained rain. Local members can judge value across a season rather than one weather-affected round.
Membership and Annual Subscriptions
Meadowbrook has some of South East Queensland’s most accessible annual subs. Intermediate and junior pricing is particularly strong.
| Category | Annual Subs | Playing Rights |
|---|---|---|
| Seven-Day | A$1,300 | Unlimited social and competition golf |
| Midweek | A$999 | Monday-Friday |
| Pensioner | A$999 | Seven days |
| Intermediate, 18-24 | A$350 | Seven days |
| Intermediate, 25-34 | A$600 | Seven days |
| Junior, 5-17 | Free | Seven days |
| Seven-Day Cart | A$2,500 | Golf and cart hire |
| Midweek Cart | A$2,199 | Monday-Friday golf and carts |
An additional A$86 affiliation fee applies when members want a GA handicap and district competition eligibility.
Seven-Day dues equal 26 weekend public rounds before affiliation. That break-even point is compelling for golfers playing twice monthly.
GA Handicap at Meadowbrook
Meadowbrook’s ratings change with the two nines selected for the day’s round. Never assume one fixed par, scratch, or slope figure.
Blue slopes generally sit near 108-114 across the available combinations. That range indicates a manageable challenge compared with tighter championship courses.
The A$86 affiliation charge connects eligible members with GA Handicap services and South East Queensland district golf. Use the printed card for daily calculations.
Pennant and Competition Golf
Image: Meadowbrook Golf Club
Meadowbrook offers daily club events, inter-club pennants, veterans’ golf, and junior pathways. The extra nine supports a busy programme.
The veterans’ group plays a Thursday competition and participates in district inter-club events. Weekly fields can be substantial.
Members wanting pennants should confirm 2026 divisions, trials, and eligibility with the match committee. The optional affiliation fee is important here.
Reciprocal Rights
Meadowbrook does not publish a prominent current reciprocal-club list. Do not count reciprocal savings before receiving written confirmation.
Ask whether your category qualifies, which clubs participate, and whether introduction letters are required. Host green fees and restricted days can still apply.
Facilities
The practice complex is the clearest reason Meadowbrook outperforms its green fee. It supports improvement, families, and evening use.
- Driving range: 26 undercover Toptracer bays with floodlights.
- Short game: chipping and putting practice areas.
- Coaching: PGA professionals, clinics, and junior programmes.
- Mini golf: 18 holes with beginner and advanced pin positions.
- Bistro: public breakfast and lunch service seven days.
- Golf shop: equipment, bookings, hire clubs, carts, and pull buggies.
Best Time to Visit
May through August provides cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and generally firmer ground. Dry spring mornings are also attractive.
Summer temperatures can exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Storms, lightning, and intense rain can change conditions quickly.
Book an early winter weekday for the lowest fee and comfortable walking. Check maintenance timing before choosing Meadowbrook for a group event.
How to Get There
Meadowbrook sits about two minutes from the M1 and Logan Motorway. The club estimates 20 minutes from Brisbane CBD.
On-site parking makes driving easiest. Loganlea station is nearby, although a short rideshare is practical when carrying clubs.
Dress Code
Dress code level: Casual to Moderate. Neat golf clothing and enclosed shoes are the safest choice.
Wear a golf shirt with tailored shorts or trousers. Avoid singlets, swimwear, thongs, offensive clothing, and visibly dirty workwear.
Nearby Alternatives
- Emerald Lakes Golf Club: premium Gold Coast night golf with a stronger resort feel.
- Pine Rivers Golf Club: compact Brisbane value with a more informal nine-hole identity.
- Nudgee Golf Club: two championship courses and a much higher membership commitment.
