Chequers Golf Course

Bullsbrook sits in the hinterland country of Queensland, where the landscape tends toward open pastoral terrain and the kind of wide skies that make you feel exposed on a golf course in the best possible way. Chequers GC plants its 18 holes in this setting, offering a round that connects you to the quieter, rural side of Queensland golf rather than the resort corridors of the Gold or Sunshine coasts.

A par 71 layout suggests at least one fewer par 5 than the traditional card, which typically means either a demanding stretch of par 4s or some shorter, more strategic holes that reward placement over power. Either way, the course is unlikely to ask you to simply overpower it — courses in this style of country usually demand you think your way around.

For golfers wanting a break from the crowded tee sheets and manicured sameness of bigger operations, a regional club like Chequers offers something harder to package: a genuinely local game, played at a pace and in a spirit that belongs to the community around it.
