SET just far enough away from the hustle
and bustle of the Gold Coast’s glitter strip
yet close enough to enjoy the attractions,
RACV Royal Pines Resort is the perfect
golfing and corporate destination.
The serene and picturesque beauty of the
27 holes is a complete departure from
other coast options.
Home of the RACV Australian Ladies
Masters, the resort is a one-stop Gold
Coast golfing haven.
Here you can stay, play, eat, drink and
party without a worry in the world.
That’s because there are 331-stylish
guest accommodation rooms including
executive rooms and suites, new
executive lounge and premium spa suites
with expansive views of the Gold Coast
skyline, hinterland, golf course, tropical
pool and huge children’s playground.
There are several restaurant choices
ranging from alfresco, poolside dining,
delicious seafood, rustic wood-fired pizza
and pasta, teppanyaki and hand-rolled
sushi or casual dining.
The award-winning Videre restaurant,
which is located on the 21st floor, is
superb and offers breathtaking views as
far as the eye can see.
A lot has been happening at RACV Royal
Pines Resort in recent years.

The resort’s Golf and Sports manager
Adrian Lawson said the facility was
continually upgrading and refurbishing
all areas of the resort facilities.“We are
unique compared to other facilities
on the Gold Coast,” he said. “We have
a wide variety of accommodation,
internationally-recognised golf course,
restaurants, corporate facilities, tennis,
kids’ club, swimming pool and more.”
“It’s the ideal corporate venue for big
or small groups,” he said. “We have
conference facilities that can cater for
up to 1800 guests.“We host a number of
corporate golf days that are followed by a
400 or 800-person function.”

Here you can
stay, play, eat,
drink and party
without a worry in
the world.

“We are the specialists when it comes
to organising golf and corporate events
because we look after your golf and
corporate events from start to finish. We
can even theme the event to suit the
client. Just tell us how many are coming
and we’ll do the rest.”

“That’s why we continue to host the
RACV Australian Ladies Masters, the Jeep
Australian Four ball Championship, the HiLite Pro-Am, The Jeep Tour National Final
as well as other national finals for various
golfing bodies.”
One of the brand new events this year is
the Ultimate Skins Challenge from June
17-21.
“We can put together a welcome function
and presentation function, make your
restaurant booking and even organise
outings to the Gold Coast’s attractions.”
Still, the resort doesn’t just look after
large groups – it also caters for individuals
and small groups who also received the
same five-star treatment. In fact, one of
the most popular products at Royal Pines
is the Pamper-and-Play package.
“If a husband and wife and their friends
come here and the wives don’t play golf,
then they can enjoy the luxurious spa
treatment while the partners play golf,”
Lawson explained. “Then the group can
go and enjoy dinner together.”
The resort is extremely family friendly and
has heaps of kids’ activities and five floodlit tennis courses (two undercover).
Because Royal Pines has 27-holes, it gives
golfers the opportunity to play three
different layouts – the Gold, Green and
Blue courses.
At 6570m off the back tees, the Gold
course is a stern test, but off the white
