Mirage Country Club Port Douglas is a golfer’s paradise. Rated as one of the world’s best resort courses, the 18 hole international standard championship golf course was designed by renowned golf architect Peter Thomson, and contains the usual combination of 6 par 3, 6 par 4 and 6 par 5 holes all within two quite different 9’s with the bordering Coral Sea and the panoramic mountain backdrop providing the only distractions to a memorable round.
The course also has practice putting green and bunkers, and professional golf instructors, and any equipment that you need is available for sale or hire from the Pro Shop. The Pro Shop are happy to arrange mail orders and deliveries for you.

While visiting the Mirage Country Club in Port Douglas for a round of golf, we were extremely disappointed with the conditions of this golf course.
It seems as though there is no greenskeeper the tee boxes and greens are extremely dry and damaged, with weeds growing…Not even sure the watering system works, or is on.
Seriously, this is unacceptable for something that is advertising itself as a ’Championship" course.
I understand that the property is currently for sale, which would probably explain the lack of care and money spent on the course, but if this is the case, then the Sheraton cannot be charging it’s full price, when a beautifully kept course like Sea Temple Country Club is charging it’s off-season rates of $55-$75.
I expect and hope that once there are new owners of the property, they will spend money and rebuild this course to an actual, ’playable’ course, but for now, unless they seriously reduce the price to at least half, don’t both playing it…The driving range and putting green at Sea Temple is better than all of the Mirage course.
Don’t waste your money…
