Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club

Coolangatta and Tweed Heads Golf Club is a club located on the east coast of Australia, near the border of New South Wales and Queensland. It is located south of Tweed Heads, New South Wales. It was founded in 1926 and has hosted several prestigious tournaments, including the Queensland Open and the Gold Coast Classic.

On 12 June 1926, a group of golf enthusiasts met at the Coolangatta Town Hall in Coolangatta, Queensland to advocate for a golf course. The following year they decided to build the course and construction began in 1928. However, there were initial environmental setbacks and a new site needed to be found, which was completed in 1930 on a large piece of land near the Tweed River at South Tweed Heads. Within two years, the first nine holes were completed and the club opened on 4 December 1932, the second nine holes were completed in 1951 and in 1974 and 1981, two further sets of nine holes were added to form two 18-hole championship courses known as the Riverside Course and the West Course. The entire club and course covers 101 hectares, including a large wildlife sanctuary.

The club has hosted a number of prestigious tournaments and on 24 May 1978, the club hosted the first Gold Coast Pro Gold Classic. This was an Australian Professional Golf Association Tour event held annually until 1983. Notable winners included South African legend Gary Player, American Payne Stewart, and Western Australian Graham Marsh, and in 1986 the Club hosted the Queensland Open, which was won by favourite Greg Norman, winner of several Queensland majors. The club now hosts the historic Twin Cities Open, a tournament that has become a cradle for emerging professionals.
