2016 SINGLE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Another one of our prestigious annual events has been settled for 2016.

Bruce McLean (left) is the 2016 Single Match Play Champion taking out the title with a win over Russ Rylance 4/3.

NEXT WEDNESDAY – 28th September 2016

Next week is a single Stableford competition with an 8:00am shot gun start.

It also includes one of our annual competitions that has almost reach State of Origin status – the Internationals vs Aussies Trophy.

The field will be divided into 3 separate teams where the best 10 scores from each team count to win the coveted trophy. Last year’s winning team “The True Blue Aussies” captained by Dave Lyons are throwing out the challenge to the “International All Stars” and the “Australian Attack”.

The two Captains of the challenging teams Jim Henderson and Grant Smallacombe have vowed to turn the tables and put a stop to Dave’s constant bragging.

Best value for money golf course on the Sunshine Coast. A really fun course layout, forces you to use multiple clubs off tees And have good course management. The grains are in great condition and are really receptive
Liam Henderson
Fantastic golf course! Really well setup with signage, sand buckets, and ball cleaners on most tees. This course is designed for playing 1-18 consecutively rather than stopping midway. A ‘grip it and rip it’ mindset will lead to disappointment as there are many hidden hazards (yes I speak from experience!). Some of the fairways are deceptively narrow or have huge swathes of flanking rough hard to see from a distance. Lots of variety! Long par 5s to short par 3s and everything in between. Take care when walking between tees as its easy for first timers to get disoriented. At just $40 I felt it was great value and would definitely go back.
Daniel Bowater

carl gall

This is a friendly country course in great condition. Greens are in good nick. Well worth a visit if you ate on the area.
Karen Lilliebridge
Beautiful fairways and greens, quite a walk but worth every step. We played in the afternoon and was very pleased with the price and quality of the course.
Hendrik van Aswegen
Lovely course. Challenging enough to make it fun, but not too difficult for high handicappers
Jonty
Great place to play golf. Course is a good challenge for all HC’s. Very picturesque,but if you walk it the last couple of holes uphill might get you. Very limited parking. Worth a look.
Daren Muddle
I’ve played at this golf course several times. The par 4 course is a bit short but well-maintained, and the lady at the pro shop were very friendly.
