About the course
Tropical North Queensland golf, volunteer-tended and welcoming, an hour south of Cairns
Innisfail Golf Course is a public course in Belvedere, Queensland, in Tropical North Queensland about an hour's drive south of Cairns. Established in 1928, it is a 9-hole/composite 18-hole layout offering golf for all abilities. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining and parking.
Set amid the tropical scenery of Far North Queensland, Innisfail has a reputation as a friendly, community-minded club where visitors are made to feel part of the place. Players consistently praise the warm welcome and the dedicated volunteers who keep the course in impressive condition — with reviewers noting greens that stand out for the region and fairways that hold up well even after heavy rain. The layout draws comment for its interesting elevation changes, while the clubhouse and staff earn regular nods. As a compact 9-hole/composite 18 course, it tends to suit those after an enjoyable, welcoming round rather than a sprawling resort experience.
