I had an opportunity to visit Brisbane for work recently and had the chance to play at 2 golf courses around the BNE area.
Sharing some photos and a short review:

1) Indooroopily Golf Club
-Location is approx. 25mins drive from BNE city via my GPS/rental car 
-This club is affiliated to SICC, if you are SICC member, you can play for free with the usual member benefits
-walk-in visitor rate is Aud$55 for 18holes
-if you need a trolley/cart, it can be rented as well (don't know the charges, as I walked 18holes)
-Club is located in a suburb area, very quiet area
-Fairway is quite flat and hard
-Air was dry and windy, on the downwind, you can really bomb it
-Greens super fast, easily >11 and they were still cutting it that day I played

2) Pacific Golf Club
-Location approx. 30mins via driving
-This club is affiliated to Keppel Club, hence with a Keppel intro letter, you can play for free (which I did), else the green fee is approx. $30-40 bucks
-a lot of dog-legs for this course and quite hilly
-fairway also a bit narrower with trees lining the F/W
-greens were undergoing core-ing work when I played, hence it was putting on sand most of the time
-no distance markers on each F/W, only a marker at 150m only, hence a rangefinder would be helpful

Entrance signage - doesn't look like a golf club

For the 1st course, pace of play was ok, I was single ball, so a lot of 3 n 4 balls flights in front let me pass
for the 2nd course, we were 2 ball, so we had to wait for the flight in front of us
I was more amazed at the air, being in Spring, AU air is quite dry, it plays on your throat since SIN is more humid
need to drink a lot of water while walking
