About the course
Parkland golf and kangaroo-filled fairways on the Lush Tablelands near Cairns
Mareeba Golf Club is a private course in Mareeba, Queensland, established in 1930 and set in the northern Lush Tablelands, about an hour's drive from both Cairns (via the Kuranda range) and Port Douglas. The two-story clubhouse features a deck overlooking the 1st, 9th, 18th and 10th fairways and their raised greens. On-site facilities include a restaurant/dining, plus cart hire and club hire.
Set in a picturesque corner of the Tablelands, Mareeba enjoys a reputation for a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, with visitors frequently praising the warm, friendly service at the desk and clubhouse. Players describe the greens as well-maintained and true, with some big slopes and a handful of genuinely challenging holes to keep rounds interesting. A standout drawcard is the resident wildlife: reviewers regularly mention close encounters with mobs of kangaroos, along with galahs and other birds, and the club is well known for letting non-golfers hire carts to explore the course and watch the animals. Tee times are said to be plentiful, the buggies easy to arrange, and the whole experience comes across as good value and good fun for golfers and families alike.
