Best Time to Visit?
The best time to golf in North Queensland is during the dry season from May to October. Expect warm, sunny days with low humidity — perfect for full rounds followed by poolside relaxation or beachside dining.
TIP: Visit in June or September for premium weather, fewer tourists, and ideal course conditions across the region.
Travel & Transport
Fly directly into Cairns or Townsville airports from most major Australian cities. The region is easy to navigate via self-drive or group transfers, with scenic drives connecting golf courses, beaches, and major attractions.
TIP: Add a hire car or ask about multi-stop transfer packages if you're playing both Cairns and Port Douglas courses.
Booking Tee Times
Standout courses include the Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course in Port Douglas — Australia’s northernmost championship course — and Cairns Golf Club, a well-maintained tropical layout with mountain views. Townsville Golf Club, the state’s oldest club, offers a heritage-rich round with river frontage and a brand-new clubhouse.
TIP: Book early in peak season (June–August), especially at Palmer Sea Reef. Midweek play offers quieter fairways and better value.
