Attended the races last Saturday level 2 Sky line lounge It was absolutely fantastic The service and hospitality was 1st class Ernesto was a fantastic host and made the day very comfortable for us especially my 84year old mum GREAT STUFF 😁 Much appreciated Patrick Murphy ( member )

Great track ,we were here for the magic millions pissed rain and got called off .Great facilities and bars .

Quality bad , it was ok the race night could be better

Wonderful venue. Fast bar service. Awesome entertainment

How bad are the management they advertised that Rohan Keating is playing but only have him in the dome so members and public can’t even see him🤬 Time to clean house if my business ran like that we would be out of business it’s time to start again with the team it’s been so embarrassing of late. Why wouldn’t you ask Rohan to play in the main area that Jimmy Barnes will be playing in so you can keep everyone happy?

Generally pretty decent track to attend, punters graveyard but great facilities for l!nes in the toilet however.

Grand opening of Night racing on the GC. What a disappointment. Go to the AFL down the road and have a look at how they do food and entertainment.

💯

地方競馬規模の大きさの競馬場。入場料はカード決済可能。一部のエリアは一般客は入れないです。脱鞍所のすぐ側まで見学可能でした。道路向かいにはセリ会場もあります

Good

We spent the day in the corporate box & FINOA went out of her way to serve us. thank you :)

Melbourne Cup day was another great race meet but so disappointed that the local Gold Coast races results weren’t shown on any of the screens in the members areas and I dare say anywhere else on track.

Best fillies on and off the track

Really nice upgrade

Great place!

Best atmosphere

What a great day at gold Coast race's. I would like to thank the great staff that work in the members bistro, They all do a great job.

I cant believe that this beautiful complex have no usb or power points where you can CHARGE you phone i walked and waked and they were locked or just not available to the public .then a security gaurd said theres one near the bar so i went to it theres 2 disgruntled patrons in there 20s one trying to figure out how to get it znd the other was so angry he couldnt return the STUPID THING ..i said how much did it cost he said 15 dollars for 30% .. i said your bloody kidding me for a start 30% wouldnt be enough . SO I STORMED OUT !! I WENT TO MY CAR PARKEX ACROSS THE ROAD and was charging it there but was attacked by mossies so i drove back to brisbane .. I can carge my phone many place in Doomben or Eagle farm ..so i wont come back there nor will i race my horses there as well thats DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!!!!

Be formal and have some fun Styles

Great venue. Attended a private event here, food and service were excellent. Magic day out.

Fantastic place for a fund-raising event. Great food and bar service. You can also watch the races and have a bet.

Nice racecourse. Has everything you need

Had a conference here all week then Raceday in the Sky Lounge - catering was next level from both a food and staff quality . Facilities were fantastic as far an access, parking etc. Highly recommended

We went for a charity function supporting mental health and the setting was very good - the service was a little slow during some stages but it wasn’t too bad. The venue was well organised and transport was never an issue. The views over the turf club to surfers was pleasing and of course the horses added to the special nature of the event.

What a privilege to experience time at this Iconic Race Course for such a Meaningful Charity Event raising much needed awareness and prevention for Mens Mental Health and wellbeing. My partner and I attended the Men Matter, City Fleet Sitrak Stallion Soiree- The Glasshouse Event, last Saturday 20th July. This Event, Brilliantly Emceed by the Capable, Intelligent, Inspirational, Talented former St Kilda, Hawthorn, Sydney Swans AFL Legend, that is Peter Spida Everett, also long running All rounder, Radio Co-Host for more than a decade, the Number 1 Breakfast Radio Show on our airwaves, every morning from 5am-9am on Gold FM 92.5 Triple M, with the Gorgeous, Hilarious, Witty Ally and the Outrageously Funny, Clever, Musical, Artistically Minded Flan. With Vince Sorrenti and his endless jokes to Sam Thaiday's meaningful speech to raise awareness for Mens Mental Health, Wellbeing was well received ( minus the blatant rudeness of sloppy punters talking while Vince and Sam spoke!!!! Go outside and ramble. Food was Spectacular, Coffee was much needed, to cope, and went down well. Staff were Professional, Polite, Attentive, Helpful and Happy to assist anyone at anytime. Excellent amenities- the less than desirable behaviour of some men. My partner being an Avid Horse Racing in all it's entirity, lover of more than nearly 4 decades Loved spending his afternoon on the Beautiful Gold Coast, in one of the Greatest Turf Clubs ever! Hopefully Men Matters was a massive Success in raising endless funds for Livin, Everything Suarve, The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and The Common Good. Thankyou 92.5 Triple FM Gold for our 2 x tickets and to Aquas Turf Club for having us.

great experience!

Great Venue for races! Open vast arena for watching races as well as holding events for under 1000 people for sure be it dinners or parties, conventions or races! I attended the Eid ul Adha Salah here and found the hall spacious enough to hold separate makes and females attenders for the prayers. I just wondered about the location of lift for my mother for her future visit.

As a member of 15 years we should have 50% of our membership fee for this financial year refunded as we have not had any incentive to visit the track due to the state of the track etc. We normally go to the races at least once a month, if not more and always spend a lot of money at the bar and buy lundh, but with it being a polytrack a lot of trainers will not run their horses there and a large number of racedays are being held at Beaudesert. The final straw is the Hollindale Stakes being held at the Sunshine Coast. Even a free meal or a drink would go a long way to an incentive to join again in June, which we are contemplating not doing. Even last year when the members points were due to expire, we received an email 2 weeks before the cut off date. One of those weeks the races were held at Beaudesert and the following week we were away so our points vanished. The Board need to look at the way the members are treated and do something to retain members who are looking at cancelling their membership.

One of the best racecourses in QLD service was great I was in the members area it was good to watch the horses parade in the closure also the alcohol was at a great price and also the food was good highly recommended if you like the horses go there and experience the atmosphere cheers 🐎🐎

Track was a disgrace and owners not being allowed up stairs in members also disgracful. Owners are what keep racing going . Worst day on a Qld track ever

Great day at the races hope to get another invite

Fantastic big screens to enjoy watching the races or sports ( awesome)

Fabulous that you can get so close to the races! Great parking and bar staff ! Food is definitely top notch, would highly recommend having a lunch in the members area 10/10

Great experience

Had a great day out with friends and really enjoyed it

Great day out at the trackside restaurant

Very clean and beautiful part of the Gold Coast

Shade covers are needed to be placed where blue seats are.So hot !!! Little kids with parents it's so too hot esp December to February .The seats need updated.But definitely put a shade tarp or something before next Magic Millions races.

My horse ran 5th in his second start in the Magic millions carnival

Magic Millions Gold Coast Saturday 13 Jan. What a fantastic day! New Track and facilities look great. It’s an enjoyable day on the coast!

As an owner of a horse running on the day I would have expected to have a much better experience. Acknowledging it was a busy day (Magic Millions) but not being able to sit anywhere (even in the owners area) line up for a drink for 45 minutes, run out of TP in the toilets, run out food and even running out of water and staff suggesting we keep our bottles so we can fill them up in the bathroom. @GCturf really needs to do better than this. Disgraceful :(

Magic millions day what an embarrassment with a 3 million dollar race...bad enough they had to leave the track first time but what the hell over 10 minutes late again...absolute disgrace...Chief steward Jed Clampett should be embarrassed

gentlemen at bet66 found this track to be a blast with great customer service thanks for the facilities

Lucky Clover Thoroughbreds enjoyed an amazing day with our clients. The food was exceptional and the hospitality shown by the club excellent. We will definitely be back again next year.

Gret service from all

It was a beautiful day at my brother Marco Rantanen and Sharon's wedding day.

Great track new turf just laid all the facilities are great the new sky lounge is first class if you get the chance treat yourself 🐴🐴🐴😎🤘

Well set up racecourse and the members and non members are excellent well equipped areas. Used my reciprocal ticket to gain a cheaper entrance The staff were super friendly.

Good day out, love dressing up

Wonderful catering & attentive staff. Extremely special experience with Gold Coast Community Fund, such a fantastic crew & cause.

First time to the races with friends and had a fantastic day out. Easy car parking, food and drinks affordable along with a exciting venue. Definitely go again.

Food was small portions, not for everyone's taste

Great day out and once facilities are finished, gonna be one of the best tracks in Australia!! 😎

Nice racecourse in a good location near Surfers Paradise
