No one can complain that there's no town called 'Golf Paradise' on the Gold Coast map. After all, Heaven shouldn't need a signpost either.
Call it what you will, but no one can deny Gold Coast golf is at the leading edge of the sport in Australia, thanks to decades of hard work by a multitude of entrepreneurs, resort developers, course designers, landscape engineers, players, officials and clubs.
The main push shows no signs of easing and now, with dozens of Gold Coast golf courses, and Gold Coast golf holidays, to suit every level of player and competition.
Much of the popularity of Australian Golf holidays and, more specifically, Gold Coast golf holidays stems from close attention to packaging that provides resort guests with family options. Little kids can play away the hours at the resorts facilities while one of more of the big kids follows a little ball around on the grass.
And if you're too busy getting birdies and eagles to pop out to a shopping centre, necessities are always on hand in well-stocked golf shops.
The combination of the golf resorts location as well as the mild Gold Coast weather ensures you get plenty of time on the greens while also offering an ideal way to appreciate the region's natural beauty.
Australian golf packages often include major tournaments featuring stars like Adam Scott and Amy Yang, ANZ Ladies Masters Gold Coast 2006 champion. And even if it's not tournament time keep your eyes peeled for other golfing legends who are (or consider themselves to be) Gold Coast 'locals'.
