I played this course last week and loved it,I was on holidays in airlie beach,resort staff came and picked up my wife and myself even though she isnt a golfer but had hered how beautiful the course is and just wanted to ride in the cart with me(this was not a problem at all when i rang to book).

Upon arrival at the pro shop he apoligised for the condition of the course due to some recent heavy rain and gave me a discount ($50 for round and cart and missus).from there the day got better with me playing one of my best rounds ever.I found the course quite challenging quickly realising that sometimes driving off the tee wasnt the best option and the par threes are pretty short so smashing the ball didnt always work.

As mentioned in other reviews the course is visually spectacular and a absolute pleasure to play, even the wife had a good time.the only bad thing to happen was the cart running out of battery on the 18th which is up hill so a hard push back to the club house. as for the condition of the course, i couldnt fault it, the staff where very friendly and more than hoppy to have us for lunch beside the resort pool before driving us back to our hotel, all in all a great way to spend the day whether you are a hacker or serious golfer P.S only 4 stars because of the cart

This course is fantastic and a real challenge. Well worth the time to play. Looking forward to the next two courses being completed.

This is the golf course that really spoilt me. After being closeby & playing several times I thought that all golf courses looked like this one.

Well this course is one that you MUST play. The setting for the course is magnificent & David Graham’s design is a masterpeice. All the holes are too different to metnion in detail but my highligh is the par 3 lined with trees on each side hitting towards a green that has an ocean background. Some days the wind is nothing & otherdays you almost need a wood to hit the green.

A great course that is well worth the trip or detour from your travels.

WOW! This is a visually spectacular and thoroughly enjoyable golf course to play. I rate in in the top tier of courses I have played, alongside Bonville, 13th Beach (Beach), The Cut and Joondalup. If you’re nearby (or even driving through Proserpine on the Bruce Highway) stop here and play.

From the plates it is 6366m, par 72 and ACR 73. There are two easier tee placements and then the red tees at 4918m. The holes wind their way through tropical vegetation playing in all different directions, with some changes in elevation and with plenty of variation in lengths. The shortest par 3 is 132m, but don’t be short as it’s over a lake all the way. The longest par 5 is a real three shotter at 541m and has the same lake running completely down it’s left flank. But it’s the variation in the par 4’s that really make this such a strong golf course. The spectacular 6th runs along the bay; the short 17th is terribly inviting and the dog-leg 15th offers reward for a well shaped shot, but has risk in the closely placed hazards.

The best news is that this course (called Turtle Point) is part of the Laguna Whitsundays resort which has another two courses in various stages of planning / development. If the other two are as good as this one then golfing heaven, for me at least, might be found.

I would rate this course second only to the glades in Qld. Beautiful conditions and scenery and holes that if you're off the fairway you're literally in the Pacific Ocean! A par 3 that one day I hit 5 iron onto the green and the next day same hole fell short with a full blooded driver - that's golf! Only one of 5 courses I have ever rated a 5 star out of about 100 I have rated!

Put simply, this is an amazing course! Visually spectacular, beautifully maintained, challenging and a whole lot of fun. I cannot believe that for my entire round I only saw one other group. This really gave me time to enjoy the beauty and just take my time. Playing at a relaxed pace and the lack of traffic meant that I finished my round in 3.25 hours. Never having to wait or being hit up on makes a welcome change from my usual course in Sydney. This adds to whole feeling of seclusion while being at one with nature.

Every hole is different to another and the course design takes you on a journey through tropical rainforest and ocean side mangroves. It is difficult to highlight any one hole as being better than another but the one thing that is common to them all is that they are all visually âÄòpostcard perfectâÄô. This leads to excitement and anticipation because you can hardly wait to see and play the next hole. The change in surface slope, strategically placed bunkers and trees makes you thing about your game and is excellent fun. I have to admit that I wanted to go around again, immediately after I finished.

This is a course that will excite all golfers and but reward straight hitters. The scrub is so thick that if you donâÄôt hit the fairway, you will loose your ball. I also had an encounter with an overly friendly Tiapan which added to the overall excitement of my round. At $95 including cart hire this is a bargain. Hire clubs are in excellent condition so you have no excuse not to play it if you are in the area. I will definitely be coming back, and next time IâÄôll bring my friends!

In the words of the Terminator "I'll be back!"

And I have. If asked to rate this course as a true hacker a few years ago, it would be a ten for lost golf balls. After my third visit it's just a 10.

It is a truly affordable resort course, beautiful fairways, amazing diversity, and plenty of options for the different level of golfer. Great for the group of golf tragics on a hit and run social visit or just a relaxing holiday with the Leader of the Opposition (Who, in my case, travels around in the cart just to shake her head at the futility of it all)

When compiling my reviews this is my benchmark.

After playing this course I'm very seriously thinking of moving to the whittsundays so I can play this course 7 days a week, easily one of the best courses I have ever played right alongside Waireki Resort in NZ.

I to played this course mid-week and there wasn't a sole around so I to could enjoy the beautifull views from the 6th and the 14th then theres the par 3 where your looking out to the ocean beautifull golf course, even my wife who like most golf widows who doesn't like golf was quite taken back by the beauty this golf course possessed.

Course 10/10

This is the best golf course I have ever played on - Playing mid week and being the only person on the course I could take my time to appreciate the beauty of the scenery. Very playable off the middle tees for me (your average hacker) and every hole was a sight to behold. The condition of the course was first rate and fees of $65 including a cart was good value - Extremely jealous of those who can play here all the time. Would love to visit hear again.
