Gailes has now entered into its 82nd year of association and continues to offer a Championship course similar to the layout that held the Australian Open in 1955.  It is a course steeped in history and tradition and one that we’re sure the majority of members are proud to be associated with.   Where else in Brisbane can you be a member of a Championship Golf Club and play each and every Saturday, sometimes by just even turning up without even booking a game?  There are no membership ballots at Gailes to play on a Saturday, nor is there a set waiting period that you must endure before you get the ‘right’ to play on a Saturday.  It is an open Club and one that we continue to enjoy.

Mar 21 06 The Associates will host the prestigious GAILES CUP at Gailes on Thursday June 1. This event is a Womens Golf Queensland stroke averages event and is expected to attract many of Queensland's top women golfers. Download the entry form here.
