A Golfer's Paradise

Experience golf in a spectacular setting on the 6,120 metre, par 71, 18-hole championship Hamilton Island Golf Club course and complete your round with a lazy lunch at its contemporary Clubhouse.

Accessible by short helicopter flight or quick five-minute boat ride from Hamilton Island, the award-winning course designed by Peter Thomson, five-time British Open champion, is a series of competitive holes strung along the ridges and across steep valleys to challenge golfers and professionals alike. The Chris Beckingham-designed Clubhouse perched high above the Coral Sea is an idyllic spot to unwind with a cold beer after your hard work on the course.

Every October, the Island hosts the Amateur Golf Championship, where you get the chance to test your golfing skills in a 36-hole amateur stableford event at the Hamilton Island Golf Club. As well as the Golf Course, Hamilton Island boasts a driving range and fun mini-golf course suitable for the whole family.
