Tucked in Brisbane’s southwest, just 20 minutes from the CBD, Oxley Golf Club has been serving up golf since 1928. With nearly a century of history and about 900 members, it’s earned a reputation as the “user-friendly course with a championship layout.” Translation? It’s welcoming for casuals, but still tough enough to keep the low markers honest. Wide fairways, lush greens, and a relaxed community vibe make this a favourite for locals who want quality golf without the fuss.
What does the course layout look like?
Oxley is an 18-hole, par-71 course stretching just over 6,000 metres. The fairways are generous, the greens are quick, and the rolling terrain adds just enough spice. For mid-handicappers, it’s forgiving enough that you won’t lose a sleeve of balls every round — but smart bunkering and water hazards mean you’ll still need to plot your way around. The greens? Smooth and fast. Bring your putting game or you’ll be humming the lyrics to our King of the 3 Putt anthem before long.
What are the standout holes at Oxley?
Two holes get most of the chatter:
- The 16th (Par 4): A classic risk-reward hole with an elevated tee and bunkers daring you to take them on. Play it safe or go bold — either way, it’s memorable.
- The 12th (Par 3): A picture-perfect one-shotter that the club itself calls “visually spectacular.” Hit the green and you’ll feel like a hero; miss it and you’re scrambling.
Add in some meaty par fives for the big hitters and crafty par fours for the shot-makers, and Oxley keeps every club in your bag busy.
How much does it cost to play golf at Oxley?
Oxley prides itself on being affordable and accessible. Social play is available seven days a week, with 18 holes typically running $45–$60 depending on weekday or weekend. Twilight deals are often on offer for those chasing a cheaper late-afternoon hit. For the quality of course you’re getting, it’s one of Brisbane’s better-value rounds.

What facilities and clubhouse vibes can you expect?
The clubhouse is the heart of the club, with the Octima Restaurant and bar serving cold beers and hearty meals overlooking the course. It’s casual, social, and the kind of place where locals swap stories after a round. The pro shop is run by PGA pros, offering lessons, gear, and friendly advice.
Practice-wise, you’ve got it all: a driving range, putting green, and short-game areas. There’s even a new Golf & Wellness Training Facility if you’re keen to work on your swing or fitness. And for something more laid-back, the on-site TopStroke Mini Golf (designed by Dave Pelz) is perfect for families or a laugh with mates.
Does Oxley Golf Club host weddings and events?
Absolutely. Oxley doubles as a popular wedding and function venue, with packages that are considered some of the best value in Brisbane’s southwest. The clubhouse overlooks the manicured fairways, making it a stunning backdrop for ceremonies, receptions, or corporate events. With a lounge that can host up to 150 guests and plenty of photo ops on the course, it’s a favourite for couples and event planners alike.
