Hervey Bay Golf Course, My home course is situated at one end of beautiful Hervey Bay about half an hours drive towards the ocean from Maryborough in Queensland, Australia & is made up of 9 holes of relativey open fairways dotted with a couple of tight water holes, followed by 9 holes of tree lined fairways. This course plays long into strong winds.

Maryborough Golf Course is situated approximately thirty minutes drive inland from Hervey Bay & is a short but challenging course lined mainly with pine trees & situated in the centre of residential Maryborough. Golfers must keep their balls on the fairways as the rough is thick & the pine trees punishing..
Bundaberg, Just over one hour north has Bagarra golf course & Bundaberg Golf course. Bagarra is by the beach & is one of the most pleasent courses to play A recent edition to this area is Coral Cove Resort course at Elliot Heads on the beach near Bundaberg. A well constructed course of nine holes with nine more holes recently opened.

Update on Coral Cove Resort. I have some photo's on this site as well as some more Queensland links.

Tin Can Bay Golf Course. About one hour south on the coast is a nice course in a holiday area. With good club house facilities, I would recommend a visit. Our regular group of four visit this course yearly for a challenge cup. Further south we have Gympie, Nambour , Coolum Resort, Caloundra, all with in 2 hours of Hervey Bay. And Queensland's Gold Coast with all its resort courses a further one hour away.


In beautiful north Queensland I have played Willows, Rose Bay, & Townsville courses all in Townsville. Townsville with its 27 hole layout is challenging. Hello to Terry up there , my Golfing mate.
Luguna Keys near Mackay is a high quality resort course. I have had many trips to Capricorn Resort at Yeppoon, near Rockhampton. Here there are two 18 hole courses. One is a links layout whilst the other is cut through the jungle with at least 9 holes of water.
