You piss more in one toilet visit that many western areas of Queensland gets in rain in a year, so it is not so much courses like these are by design, it is by necessity.
Sand greens at least on most Western Queensland and NSW golf courses are a given - what you get on the tee and fairway is pretty much what you get.

I always remember telling the Americans that watched "Survivor: Outback" that where that was filmed (West of Townsville) was only just over an hours drive to the nearest McDonalds.
Hardly the outback as we know it.
For the record, Lightning Ridge is outback, much like the opal fields out around Winton (1700 km northwest of Brisbane, west of Longreach, and about 800 or so Km inland).
Amazing country.
Boring, but amazing.
