VETS ON THE ROAD

Ken McKay is on holidays in Scotland and has returned from a fantastic golf day out with his son Brad who generously bought Ken a round at the famous Turnberry course, the site of many famous British opens. Here is Ken’s report on the day.

“The day was fine and sunny and I played in my hole-in-one Cooroy Vets shirt. We hired the clubs and they presented me with a brand spanking new set of Taylor Made clubs and bag to play with. We played on the second course …..which was difficult enough. The pot bunkers were a killer, but I got out in all but one with a single stroke. The 18th has 11 bunkers, which gives you a sense of the difficulty level. For the record, my score was 95, I lost 2 balls and only found the rough on 3 occasions……not bad for a vet from Cooroy.

Donald Trump is determined to make this the number one course in the world and has invested 700 million dollars so far and there is no sense that he is slowing down. The clubhouse and hotel is just mind blowing!” Click photo to enlarge.

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

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.
