About
Located in Cook Shire, Cooktown Golf Club is a picturesque sports club that offers a unique golfing experience. The club features a nine-hole course with dual tees, providing a challenging and entertaining game for golf enthusiasts. The course is locally constructed on the coastal dunes, nestled in the tropical bushland that borders Walker Bay and the Annan River. With the stunning Mount Cook serving as a constant backdrop, the natural beauty of the surroundings adds to the charm of this links-type course.
One thing to keep in mind is that Cooktown Golf Club is the most northern golf course on the East Coast of Australia. As a result, the wind blows from the southeast around 20 knots on most days, adding an extra element of challenge to the game. The course is well-maintained throughout the year, with tee boxes, greens, and fairways presented in excellent condition. In the event of wild boar diggings, players are allowed a free drop.
Cooktown Golf Club offers various membership options, allowing individuals to enjoy the benefits of being a club member. Weekly competitions, tournaments, and annual events are organised for members to showcase their skills and enjoy their passion for golf. Whether you are an experienced golfer seeking a new challenge or a casual player looking for a fun day out, Cooktown Golf Club offers a beautiful setting and a sand-based course that promises a memorable golfing experience.
To help players tackle the unique conditions of the course, the club provides valuable pro tips on how to navigate the challenges and achieve their best scores. These tips can be found on the club's website, along with an image gallery showcasing the beauty of the course.
