MARYBOROUGH TRIP on 14th JUNE 2016

39 Cooroy Vets headed north last Monday for our first trip to Maryborough.  From all reports the trip was a very enjoyable day despite the fickle weather.  We didn’t win too much – well actually hardly anything.

Joyce McKay was our best performer with 37 points – well done Joyce.

The contrasting club shirts provided quite a vibrant scene over lunch in the club house.

  • 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.

  • 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.
