Fostering the game of golf and promoting social interaction among veteran golfers
Veteran golf is not simply or solely about golf or indeed winning.
The camaraderie and providing a friendly, supportive social environment for members are essential to the experience and success of the Veteran Golfers community.
It is an excellent way to meet new friends and provides a platform for social interaction between people from all walks of life in the same age demographic irrespective of golfing ability.
Membership of Cooroy Veterans’ Golf Club is open to a financial male or female member of Cooroy Golf Club who has reached the age of 55 years, holds a current Golf Australia handicap and is an amateur golfer – cost $15.00.
We offer an eclectic program of friendly but competitive golf events at Cooroy. Also, as a member club of the Sunshine Coast District Veteran Golfers Association, we offer our members the opportunity to play at some of the best courses on the Sunshine Coast through our host day program – e.g. Caloundra, Gympie, Headland, Maroochy River, Mt Coolum, Nambour, Peregian Springs, Noosa and Tin Can Bay.

A great little course in the Noosa Hinterland. Friendly staff, challenging design with improved greens and fairways. Excellent value course.

Colin Davie
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
Great course. Well maintained with very friendly staff!
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.
