Membership
Thank you for considering the Townsville Golf Club for your membership.
Whether you are considering joining as a full or social member, the Townsville Golf Club has something for everyone. From the seasoned golfer on a low handicap (try the championship Blue Course), to those who like a day out with friends, The Townsville Golf Club is one of the most pleasant courses in North Queensland.
Currently the course has a 27 hole layout, designed by Ross Watson, around the banks of the Ross River. There are three different course combinations, the yellow (holes 1 - 9, 10 - 18); Blue (holes 10 - 18, 19 - 27) and Red (holes 19-27, 1 - 9). Each course has its own challenges with water hazards coming into play on the blue and the red. Holes 1-10 are most affected by wind.
There are two practice areas for use during daylight hours.
Golf competitions are played every day of the week except Monday.
The course is relatively flat with wide and fully reticulated fairways, very large undulating greens, hundred year old rain trees lining many of the fairways, and seasonal blooming, colourful trees. The course obtains its water from a sewerage treatment plant located on the grounds.
