Tucked into the foothills of the D’Aguilar Range, Keperra Country Golf Club offers one of Brisbane’s most balanced golf experiences. With 27 holes, lush fairways, and a warm, community-driven atmosphere, it’s a favourite for both social players and serious competitors.
What makes Keperra stand out is its ability to cater to every type of golfer—whether you’re chasing a low round, enjoying a twilight hit with mates, or joining one of the club’s many weekly comps.
Course Overview
- Location: Keperra, Brisbane, Queensland
- Par: 71–72 (depending on the 18-hole combination)
- Total Holes: 27 (Blue, Red, and Yellow nines)
- Access: Public (membership available; visitors welcome on most days)
The three nine-hole layouts are rotated to create different 18-hole combinations, making Keperra a course you can play again and again without it feeling stale. The design incorporates elevation changes, native bushland, and well-placed bunkers for a classic Brisbane feel.
Layout and Design
Keperra’s design is straightforward—but that doesn’t mean it’s simple. The layout rewards smart shot placement and punishes anything offline, especially on holes with narrow corridors and well-guarded greens.
Standout Holes:
- Blue 3 – Par 5: A reachable par 5 for longer hitters, but water and bunkers make going for it in two a true gamble.
- Red 5 – Par 4: Tight off the tee with elevation in play—accuracy is more important than power.
- Yellow 7 – Par 3: A scenic downhill one-shotter that plays shorter than it looks.
- Red 9 – Par 4: Strong finisher with a well-protected green and clubhouse views.
Each nine has a slightly different personality—Blue is the most open, Red offers the most challenge, and Yellow adds a nice balance of elevation and visual appeal.
Conditions and Facilities
- Greens: Consistently smooth and true, with good speed and contouring
- Fairways: Well-maintained and forgiving, though tight in places
- Bunkers: Basic but functional—some have been recently updated
- Clubhouse: Comfortable and relaxed with full bar and dining options
- Practice Facilities: Includes a driving range, chipping green, and putting green
- Pro Shop: Friendly staff, stocked with essentials and local advice
Keperra doesn’t try to be flashy—but it nails the fundamentals. The course is always in solid shape year-round, and the facilities have a down-to-earth, welcoming vibe.
The Experience
What really sets Keperra apart is the culture. It’s a course where everyone feels welcome—whether you’re a first-timer, a returning visitor, or a long-time member.
- Social comps are frequent and well-organised
- Twilight golf is popular, especially in summer
- Member culture is strong but not exclusive—visitors are encouraged and well-supported
It’s the kind of place where you’ll get good golf and good company, no matter the day.
