Played 26/10/09

Really tight track, some great holes, some hohum. Mt Coolum as the backdrop on a few holes is spectacular. As someone pointed out, the back nine is alternate Par 3’s and 5’s until the last which is a Par 4, kinda odd.

Smallish greens which were difficult to hold, course was very dry and a lot of work being done.

At $44 didn’t consider it great value particularly as we were not told that they were sanding the greens that day. Why do courses deliberately not tell punters. We would have still played but perhaps a $5 reduction on fees or a free beer in the clubhouse would have been the go. We were going to have a few beers and lunch in the clubhouse but decided to go elsewhere cause they obviously didn’t give a crap about us.

Doesn’t look much from the road and clubhouse (quite cramped and small greens) but it spreads out after a few holes and it is not easy by any means. It is very easy to get out of position through poor approach shots and leave yourself with no shot. Unusually there are an equal number of Par 3, 4, and 5’s. Interesting short Par 5 17th with the option to go over the water with your 2nd, a real risk-reward hole. Lovely views of Mt Coolum but watch out for the insects if playing near dusk, there is a lot of water on the last 6 holes.

This is a great course to play which is soooo much cheaper than many other options. Sure, it is not quite manicured to the standards of the resort courses, but there are a number of holes that could easily be in any of the big courses 18 and not be out of place.
The greens are all pretty small, which is fairly uncommon these days. Most are slightly elevated, so precision shots are pretty well rewarded.
There are a few moments where some information on distances to hazards would not go astray, but all in all this course is great. Make sure you take the aerogard though as you may have an arm taken off by some of the mozzies down the back of the course!
The new holes are superb, the old holes are pretty good but a bit short. I didn’t know what to expect when I went and got a great suprise – I would rate it above Headland and Horton Park for value golfing on the Coast

Played here yesterday. Only played front nine which I found to be very tight and some interesting holes. im not a long hitter by any imagination but found that I could have good opportunities to birdie the Par 5’s. Great little course. Great staff in pro shop and enjoyed the day.

Nice course. Not too difficult, not too easy.

Played at Mt Coolum on 28th September 2008. Have played there many times and always find it a challenging course. The fairways are generally in good condition (although a bit dry on this occasion). Playing times are well spaced and rarely if ever have to wait for the players ahead of you, whether walking or in a cart. Overall, can recommend Mt Coolum for all levels of player.

Played on the weekend and the course was very wet and soggy in areas, albeit, we have had next to no rain for a week so drainage is obviously an issue. The greens were average. On a positive note; the course was very challenging, tempted you to go long when it wasnt the safest option. And to have Mt Coolum towering over the fairways make for quite the surreal view. Great value. Worth playing if you want to be tested.

Played this course during the Australian PGA. Club pro was kind enough to let my partner & I tee-off just before a large group of punters with no idea! A pretty good track. A decent challenge. Scenic with plenty of hazard. Not in the same class as neighbouring courses but save yourself a small fortune in green fees & golf balls.

This is a great value "tricky little course". Not super long but very interesting. Well kept and very friendly. 3 and a half stars.

I have reciprical rights with this course and played in a Saturday comp with a friend of mine. It so happened we were paired with Stephen Bowditch's dad who is a member. He is great value for a laugh but always a great golfer.

This is one tough course when the wind gets up which seems to be all the time.

The course is divided into two half, the old and the new. The new holes are fantastic but extremely difficult and require low stragectory shots to keep out of the wind. The main battle on these holes is the wind always seems to be across you and so you have to aim your shot out over the bush to land it in the middle of the fairway. I'm not a big fan of doing this as sometimes the wind doesn't blow when you need it to and you hit it straight in the bush.

This is a real thinking course and despite the crappy score I enjoyed the day.

I can't remember the hole number because we played the course back to front but there is this one par five played away from Mt Coolum and it bends to the left around trees and a pond up to a bunkerless green the view back down this hole from the green toward Mt Coolum is magic. The word PURE comes to mind

It truly is. Again this Kiwi couldn't handle the shift from NZ winter to Queensland greens. Truly value for money. A challenge, don't take it lightly. Some holes will challenge each and evry one of you - no matter your handicap. The course is very popular, but with a little planning you'll get a game. As a single they paired me up with all sorts and it was fun.

I want to go back

I have just returned from a lovely holiday in Qld. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Coolum, our package did not include golf so we enquired about playing and were told that it would be $154.00 per player including a shared cart! That was going to cost us $616 for the 4 of us to play one round of golf. We look around the corner and found Mt. Coolum, and what a pleasant surprise. This course must be the best kept secret in Qld. Magnificent views, beautifully maintained course, greens were great, an incredibly challenging course without being intimidating, there is water on 12 holes but the water is used to enhance the game not totally dominate it in the way that most Qld. Courses do. With green fees of $30 club hire from $15 a friendly club that welcomes visitors. The course is an easy walk but carts are available should you need one.

This is a truly unique golf course. A challenging front nine makes way for a back nine that runs as follows: Par 3,5,3,5,3,5,3,5,4.

There is some great risk/reward holes on this track that make every tee shot a test of your nerve. The short 17th gives you a real opportunity to add an eagle to your scorecard whilst still keeping a snowman (8) as an option.

This is also a great course to take visitors to QLD for a hit. Kangaroos and other wildlife frequent this course whilst the Mt Coolum backdrop makes for some stunning scenery. Additionally the green fees are excellent for this region compared to the "rock star" neighbouring courses.

Off the course the locals are friendly and the clubhouse has a superb deck to enjoy a quiet beer on.

My one criticism of this course is it's greens which seem to be permanently under maintenance. I'm sure that when they get these up to scratch this track will be one of the best kept secret slices of golfing paradise.

This is a very beautiful and picturesque course nestled at the foot of Mt Coolum. It's in a golfer's dream location, right beside Hyatt Regency Coolum G.C. and with Twin Waters only 5 min away. This golf course holds it's own however against it's two more well known cousins, due firstly to it's green fee (around $30), and secondly it's a great test on all golf games. The fairways(very tight on certain holes) and greens are a joy to play on. There are a lot of beautiful holes on this course, but none more so than the par 5 17th, with Mt Coolum as the backdrop and a lake guarding the green front and right. I highly recommend you play this course. You won't be disappointed!
