Our story

What started as a few locals with a patch of ground and a love of the game has grown into one of Central Queensland's most welcoming clubs.

The course has changed over the years, the clubhouse has had a few facelifts, but the spirit's the same: good people, good golf, and nobody taking themselves too seriously.
