Slightly difficult to find unless you know were you are going. Not well advertised and signed. A round of 18 holes cost $15. From what I can gather, the club house is not opened alll the time, so it is a honesty system for fees during this time. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS I SAY. Amenities in the club house and on the course are very basic. Carts are not available, however, a lovely member was kind enough to let me borrow his. If he reads this, THANKS. The first 9 holes are what they call the inside the race track nine. These 9 hole are simple, mostly flat, minimal hazads such as bunkers or long grass etc and have next to no trees. Be careful though, when teeing of on the 4 hole, remeber, it is a doglg left. From the 4th tee, the 6th hole green is about 280 yrs straight ahead and one could get confused as to which green one should be playing, as I did. When this happens, you will have trouble finding the next 5th and 6th tee of areas, however, I did recover. Most of these fairways and greens are basic and easy to play. The greens are slow however.

The back 9 are referred to as the outside the track 9. These holes are very differant. Most have large trees, water causes ways, ocassional bunkers and long grass for anyone who strays and plays poor. When on the fairway, it is alot easier. Again, the greens were basic, one or two do require good reading, but all seemed slow.

The only down side to the round I experienced was the obvious lack of proper and consistant greenkeeping and maintainance to all the course. I played between Xmas and the New Year... this may have been a factor. I lost a few balls, not from poor shots, but from goods shots that happened to land in some extremely lush area's both on and just of the fairway's, and for the life of me, I could not find.

Overall, not a bad course. If your in Ingham for a few days for what ever reason, if you play, give this a go. Not a challenging or pretty course, but one for a nice social day out.

Finaly some rain in the Tropical North.

Unable to play on my scheduled day, I accepted an offer from Peter from the Lucinda Point caravan park to join him and his park guests on their regular 14 hole social day.

As the organiser, handicapper and barman Peter gave me a stroke a hole. This proved a decent challenge on a course with two personalities.

Front nine inside the race track, long par fours and fives and not a tree in sight (plenty of mushrooms after the rain)

Back nine trees galore and a complete game change as we navigated around behind the track. Missed holes thirteen through sixteen which are the hardest (so I was told)

Lush fairways, decent variety, affordable, and great company. Beware the 11th, it sneaks up on you after the open spaces of the front followed by a par three.
