COME & PLAY IN THE SUNSHINE!

I see plenty of 'hits' our web site by interested people from our overseas friends.  So you are planning to come to the Sunshine Coast for a holiday - come see us at Nambour.

Winter is a great time on the Coast here - mild days, plenty of sunshine, any number of golf courses. But what puts Nambour ahead of the rest?? Check out these!

Just have a look on the web at the images of our stunning course in this tropical valley - enough said! However, the relaxed, friendly atmosphere, coupled with the great price of golf here, this is a must visit course. If that's not enough, feast your eyes on some of our promotions for visitors!

Play Socially:Two for One Tuesday (a pair of golfers play a social round for the price of one).

Upcoming Events

  • GOLF CARTS ARE OFF   09 Mar '10

    Currently, and until further notice, golf carts are OFF due to the prevailing wet and dangerous conditions. Decision made 9.00 a.m. Tuesday 09 March.

    This decision is reviewed at 6.00 am. If uncertain, contact the Pro Shop on 5441 4413.

     

    When conditions indicate a change to this advice, this web site will be updated at 9.00 a.m.

     

  • COURSE CONDITION: CLOSED   11 Mar '10

    Latest Inspection: 10.00 a.m. Thursday 11 March

    Decision: The course is closed.

    The course was reviewed again by Match Committee at 10.00 Thursday 11 March, with a view to making a decision on play over the next three days.

    This inspection confirmed closure of the course for Thursday 11th March, Friday 12th March and Saturday 13th March.

    A Course inspection will be held at 10am Saturday.  It is not envisaged that there will be any play on this day, but please call after 11am for an update.

    Over two inches of rain again on Wednesday night and seventeen inches of rain prior to this over the past week has left our course absolutely saturated. Rain is forcast into the middle of next week, and is falling heavily at the moment. Green staff are desperately attempting to prepare the course for play as soon as possible. However the wet, slippery conditions make it extremenly dangerous to get machinery onto the worst parts of the course. Some mowing is being competed to 'air' the ground, and some is being done with brush cutters.

    However, there is much about the terrain on our course which makes walking, especially on slopes a risk to safety at worst, and at best some injured pride and wet backsides.


    Weather forecast also predicts more rain for us on today and into next week.

    Consequently the course condition is continually reviewed, attempting to having our course open as soon as possible. Yes, we need to let our golfing tragics loose on the course before mental health is impaired, we want to make money for the Club, but not at the risk to your safety!

  • CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS   15 Feb '10

    So the course is closed for Round 1 of the Club Championships.

    Now what is going to happen??

RULE for MARCH: Ahh - my ball has moved by itself!

You are holding the flagstick for a fellow competitor who is about to putt when your ball lying on a sloping section of the green about 4 metres away starts to roll and comes to rest 60cm away from its original position. What do you do?
