7 ABOUTMcLeod The McLeod Country Golf Club is an oasis within the Centenary suburbs of Brisbane, ideally located just 20 minutes from the Brisbane City centre. The course was developed around the hills and creek systems of Mount Ommaney and sits in harmony with its surroundings. The design brief of the course was in part, to create a championship course for women but not at the expense of the average male golfer and always keeping in mind the length of the course. The layout of the course was influenced by the Mt Ommaney Creek and its tributaries, which flow through the course. The hills surrounding allow the course to rise and fall. The addition of bunkers adds further difficulty and creates holes requiring strategy. The end result is a course with surprising difficulty

The pro-am was a great success, with McLeod welcoming players from nine different nationalities to Brisbane for the ALPG s first visit in 38 years. The Management and Board at McLeod Country Golf Club want to build on that success and have a long term goal to host a major Women s Professional Tournament. The McLeod Country Golf Club was established in 1968 and has a proud and rich history, with the club being the first in the southern hemisphere to be administered by women. ALPG are completely supportive of McLeod Country Golf Club s ambition to bring the Queensland Women s Open to Brisbane, and feel they have a fantastic course and venue well worthy of hosting such a prestigious event.
