The Course
Cooroy Golf Club
An 18-Hole Layout Like No Other in the Hinterland
Founded in 1936 as a 9-hole layout and expanded to 18 holes in 2005, Cooroy plays out and back just like St Andrews, rather than a conventional front-nine/back-nine split.
Strategically placed cart paths and upgraded drainage make the course less susceptible to wet weather, while tree-lined fairways and well-placed water hazards reward accurate play across both nines.

The Layout
Out and Back - The St Andrews Way
The layout is not a conventional 9+9. You play all the way out, then all the way back in. A round of 9 holes takes in holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16, 17 and 18.
The front nine features 3 par 3s, 6 par 4s and tree-lined fairways where accuracy is rewarded. The back nine is longer and tougher - 3 par 3s, 2 par 4s and 4 par 5s - with fewer trees but plenty of water waiting for the wayward golfer.
Signature Holes
Holes Worth Knowing
Four holes that define the Cooroy experience - from dog-leg drama on the front nine to our own Amen Corner on the back.
#3
Par 4 · Dog Leg Left
Hole 3
A par 4 dog leg left with the fairway sloping into trees hiding a water hazard, all the way to a generous green with severe surface contours. The back and right side fall away steeply. Favour a right-centre approach with a slight draw.
#4
Par 3 · Water Right
Hole 4
A flat, tree-lined par 3 with water hazard right and rear. Bunkers left, right and rear protect a small green with moderate contour. Favour a left-centre approach with a slight fade.
#11
Par 5 · Our Amen Corner
Hole 11
A long par 5 with a slight dog leg left, lightly treed, out of bounds left and a generous bailout right. A blind second shot leads to a layup area short of a green protected by water. Two long shots and an accurate approach required - too bold and you find long grass beyond the fence.
#15
Par 3 · Downhill
Hole 15
A downhill par 3 with out of bounds left and water 50m short of a large, raised, narrow lateral green with a greenside bunker right. Trees encroach from both sides at the hazard. Favour a centre approach or lay up short of the water.

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.

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.
