Brighton Lakes Recreation & Golf Club

Has my first visit to Brighton Lakes last night for a quick dinner.I ordered the pork belly and scallops, and my wife had the schnitzel.Service was pretty good, but admittedly there wasn't a great number of people in the bistro.Now, the prices of meals here are above similar places, but the quality of our meals inline with the higher prices.Schnitzel was huge with nice chips and salad.Pork belly was pretty good. Great crackling and the diced apple was a great compliment to the richness of the pork. The scallops were slightly over cooked for my liking, but certainly not a show stopper.Bar staff were friendly and attentive.Recommend coming here for dinner or a drink. We will be back in the near future to try the rest of the menu.The one downside of the visit was the security guard on duty at the door. We walked in behind two males who were obviously friends with the security guard, and the eschewing conversation between the three was littered with F bombs for all to hear. Not really the type of thing you like to hear when you first walk in to what looks like a place with a higher standard than that.

We visited the restaurant before sunset and it was a very nice ambience on the deck. The photos don’t do it justice!

Had the scotch fillet with mash/mushroom sauce and the schnitzel with chips/mushroom sauce. Steak was cooked nicely, however, was kind of grainy. The schnitzel was moist but salty. The chips weren’t as crunchy or hot as I would have liked. The potato mash was delicious and creamy. The mushroom sauce was quite watery and was not thick at all. Very nice venue with beautiful views of the golf course. Very clean bathrooms. Decent selection of drinks and decently priced.Was a bit disappointed as I had looked at the online menu beforehand, however, when it came time to ordering, the food menu was quite limited.Staff were nice. plenty of onsite parking and plenty of seats to sit at with views.

Lovely, open aspect across the golf course. Food and service are both very good. The course still needs a lot of development to make it scrub up as a well-groomed track.

Architecturally designed clubhouse providing stunning views over the golf course and lake. Loved the Japanese teriyaki chicken and grilled barramundi fillet. Lots of parking. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed by the condition of the course following recent local flooding and continual ongoing rain. The course was slightly shortened with temp green/tee box and spare hole brought into play.The fairways and bunkers were in very good condition and the greens rolled smoothly and true. From what I could see, the practice facilities consisted of an very large putting green and a couple of warm-up nets.I'm very much looking forward to playing the full course when and if this rain ever stops.

We hosted our sons 1st birthday here at one of the function rooms upstairs. Given the holiday period, a lot of party vendors were offline, therefore a lot of our decorations and activities for the day had to be DIY. The events coordinators were very accommodating and made the process very collaborative. We opted for the buffet style catering, which turned out to be absolutely delicious! The function rooms are a great space with amazing views of the golf course, creating a nice backdrop to any occasion. Although our son may not remember his first birthday, the decision to host at Brighton Lakes made the experience for us stress free, as we were able to entertain with our guests, enjoy our time and go home without worrying about cleaning up if we had hosted at homes. We are so happy with venue, catering, and service overall! ✨

Came for lunch today with my partner, food was very quick and surprisingly big portion sizes. (Garlic prawns were the winner!)Nice view of the golf course, sitting outside at restaurant terrace and fresh pint of Great Northern on tap for $7

Came here for a Christening, the reception has nice views however the food was below average. The bread on the table was crisp as it had been probably sitting on the table since the morning and had gotten crisp from air exposure. My main was the steak/meat and it was very well done and chewy, would’ve like more sauce or a gravy on the plate. The photo attached was a “kids meal” and which did not look appetising and no way my nephew was going to eat that. Hope this review improves the food in future. Thanks
