INTERCONTINENTAL SANCTUARY COVE RESORT

Positioned on the northern end of the Gold Coast, InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort is the perfect destination for your next golf getaway with unprecedented access to Queensland’s championship golf courses, including The Palms and Arnold Palmer’s only Australian course, The Pines.

Find yourself perfecting a blend of pamper and play, enjoying luxury accommodation by night within one of InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort’s recently refurbished guest rooms or suites, and world-class golfing adventures by day on two of the country’s premier courses – both of which are conveniently located within a five-minute drive of the resort.

Designed by legendary golf course architect Ross Watson and ranked one of the Top-100 golf courses in Australia, The Palms golf course’s tee placements have been designed to suit a variety of playing conditions and a diverse range of players.

“The Palms is unique because of its rustic bunker style and unique layout. The Palms is deliberately shorter and requires the player to think more about where the pin is and where they need to be aiming – it’s the thinking man’s course.” Ross Watson, course architect.

Meanwhile, 2021 will see Australia’s only Arnold Palmer designed course, The Pines, undergo a $1.5 million restoration which is planning to be finalised by July of this year. The restoration will see The Pines’ greens returned to their former glory with all-new high quality ultradwarf hybrid grass promising golfers a superior playing surface, and additional draining facilitating all-year-round playability.

Post-game, golfers can retreat to InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort’s vibrant dining scene for whisky flights and tapas in Verandah Restaurant & Bar, or wood-fire cuisine in the resort’s signature restaurant, The Fireplace. Or, spend an afternoon soaking in the Gold Coast’s sun-rays beside the resort’s iconic one-acre Lagoon Beach.
