Clear Island Waters

For travellers with a dog, the conditions in the garden are particularly specific; golf focuses on the course profile, figures and formats of play. Before comparing hotels, you can weigh up which of these topics matters more for your stay.

Takasu Gardens for a morning walk

Takasu Gardens is a designated area in Clear Island Waters where dogs may be off leash. They must remain under effective control. Being off leash therefore does not mean that responsibility no longer applies: both conditions go together. The garden has shade-providing trees and is suitable for a morning walk. Check the signs on site for any current restrictions. If you are travelling with a dog, take note of the garden’s signs as well as your accommodation’s pet rules; the park rules do not tell you which rules apply at your hotel.

Golf: course profile and formats of play

Surfers Paradise Golf Club in Clear Island Waters offers competition golf for members and Golf Link players seven days a week. There are also social rounds after work or on weekends. Club activities and participation requirements may change, so check with the club in advance to find out which format is available for your visit.

The 18-hole championship golf course is located in the heart of the Gold Coast. Its features include tree-lined fairways and strategically placed water hazards; the fairways and greens are well maintained. The course is listed as par 71 with an ACR of 71. These course figures may change. The course features describe elements of the facility, while par and ACR provide numerical ratings of the course. Fairways are the playing areas between the tee and the green; greens are the closely mown areas where the holes are located. This helps distinguish the well-maintained playing areas from the target areas.

The course profile and club offering provide information about different aspects of a golf visit: the features and figures relate to the course itself, while the formats of play relate to the types of rounds offered. For your planning, it may therefore be helpful to look at the course first and then consider the format relevant to your stay.

What matters for your hotel search

If a morning walk with your dog is important, the conditions at Takasu Gardens and your accommodation’s pet rules are relevant. If golf matters more, the course profile and formats of play can help you assess your options. You can also compare the timing: the garden is suitable for the morning, while social golf rounds take place after work or on weekends. This makes it easier to match each activity to your daily routine. Then compare hotels based on the features that matter for your trip.
