Golf Courses

Half Moon Bay Golf Club, located in picturesque Yorkeys Knob just north of Cairns, offers a memorable golfing experience on an 18 hole, par 70, all‑weather parkland layout measuring 5,129m. Nestled between the Coral Sea coast and rainforest clad Macalister Ranges, the course features tight, tree lined fairways and strategic bunkering, making accuracy essential - yet the breathtaking ocean and mountain views soften the challenge . Despite its modest length, the par 70 layout demands smart shot making while still welcoming players of all abilities

The club provides excellent practice facilities, including two putting greens, short and long driving ranges, a 90m pitching area, and a practice hole.  After your round, the clubhouse welcomes you with panoramic views, dining, and a relaxed atmosphere for golfers to regroup. Blackwood is open to visitors on select days, making it an accessible and rewarding stop for golf travelers exploring South Australia.

Whether you’re chasing a quiet round near Adelaide or seeking a beautiful hill‑course experience, Blackwood delivers a perfect blend of challenge, serenity and natural beauty.

Strong enough from the back tees to test gifted golfers, yet fair enough to be enjoyed by the average player, the championship golf course is regarded as one of South Australia’s finest.

Some of the short holes would grace any of the most famous links courses in the world. In particular the signature 17th hole, which features in Australia’s best holes, provides a challenging test into the wind for the player striving to gain his par 3.

The resort's golf facilities are open to the public seven days a week and include a driving range, practice greens, and a Golf Academy. Joondalup Resort has been recognized among the Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World, offering not only exceptional golfing but also luxurious accommodations, dining options, and a day spa

Visitors are welcome (except during competition times), and the club often hosts open tournaments, including their 36‑hole Open events.

Water hazards, bunkers, and native trees offer strategic challenges on every hole.  After your round, relax at the air‑conditioned clubhouse, enjoy food and drinks at the Rusty Putter Bistro, or take in the sunset from the verandah bar overlooking the 18th green.

The club has a rich history, having hosted numerous state and national tournaments, including the Tasmanian Open. Facilities include a driving range, putting and chipping areas, and a fully stocked pro shop. The clubhouse, known as the "Red House," dates back to the 1830s and offers dining and bar services with panoramic views over the 18th green and the Derwent River.
