Entry and Exit Points – As part of the green replacement program (GRP) we have re-designed many of our bunkers to ensure they have a clear entry and exit point that protects their quality. Members are encouraged to use those entry and exit points at all times. These are generally more level areas thus making the raking and maintaining of the bunkers easier also. The Brisbane Golf Club recommends and asks members to leave rakes inside the bunkers.

Safety, Consideration for Others:
Click here to read about safety on the golf course and the consideration of others. The Brisbane Golf Club insists all electronic devices be turned to ‘silent’. Outgoing calls are permitted but are to made out of earshot of fellow members and should be restricted to calls of an essential nature only.
