Golfing in Mackay & Whitsundays
Golfing in Mackay and the Whitsundays means swapping the reef for the fairway between cane fields, marina towns and tropical islands. The region's standout layouts are well-groomed and welcoming: both Sarina Golf Course and the city's own Mackay Golf Course earn top marks for tidy parkland greens that suit holiday play.
Further north, Proserpine Golf Club makes a natural base for Airlie Beach getaways, while Bowen Golf Course offers a genuine links feel for those chasing sea breezes and firm turf. Inland mining communities at Glenden, Moranbah and Collinsville round out the choices.
