About the course
Howard's friendliest country parkland nine, played as a full 18
Burrum District Golf Club, also known as the Howard Golf Club, is a public parkland course in Howard, Queensland. It has nine greens with alternate tees that create a full 18-hole experience, playing to a par of 70 for men and 72 for women across roughly 5,727 metres of generally flat terrain. The layout features sand bunkers, dams, and the occasional narrow, tree-lined fairway, suiting both walkers and cart play. Facilities include a restaurant/dining option, cart hire, and club hire.
This is a warm, country-style club that visitors consistently describe as exceptionally welcoming, with friendly members and staff who go out of their way to make newcomers feel at home. Reviewers regularly highlight the relaxed, social atmosphere and the affordable green fees, making it a popular value pick for casual rounds in the Hervey Bay area. The dining is a recurring talking point, with players praising the hospitality and Friday-night meals as part of the experience. Many note the course presents well and plays in good condition, while the flat terrain makes for an easy, enjoyable walk. With its honesty-box access and casual competitions like the Friday Chook Run, it earns a reputation as a friendly, low-key spot suited to players of all levels.
