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.

Weekly Competition
Our regular competition is held on Wednesday morning with a mixture of single and team formats to provide variety.
Tee times vary all year round; the earliest is 6:16 am and the latest is 6:44 am, depending on when the sun rises. We recognise that the majority of Vets like to play early
We play a Monthly Medal competition each month. You must be a financial member of Cooroy Veterans’ Golf Club to win a major prize in our Monthly Medal competition.
To allow players to arrive back at the clubhouse around the same time for presentations and socialising we some times hold shotgun starts for our Wednesday competitions.
Our Wednesday competition is open to male and female veteran golfers. You can nominate online via the member portal.
Host Day Competition
We participate in a program of home and away host day events with other clubs in our District.
Host day competitions are an important part of veteran golf as they provide an opportunity for members to socially interact with other clubs in our District and to play some of the best golf courses on the Sunshine Coast at a reasonable cost.
Member Prize Donation
We have a prize donation program for Wednesday competitions. Members can donate individually or get together with other members to sponsor prizes for a competition.
Participation in this program allows us to maintain prize levels and provide other benefits.
