Pelican Waters
 

Pelican Waters, which opened in 2000, has already established a reputation as one of Australia’s finest resort golf courses.

Golf Australia magazine rated the course as the 10th best resort course in Australia, not bad for a course less than 11 years old. In time I’m certain this Greg Norman design will be considered one of the very best tracks anywhere in Australia as it features a collection of sensational golf holes, situated in a stunning natural Australian setting at Golden Beach near Mooloolaba. The course is gently undulating and runs alongside numerous lakes with natural swampland reeds adding to the character of the numerous water holes.

Some holes are carved out of the natural forests meaning there can be a contrast in the playing surfaces with some fairways bordered by the tall gums providing less run than the more open water holes.

In describing the appeal of Pelican Waters it is important to include a footnote that the author is a single figure golfer as many of the great challenges of the course may prove a little daunting for some high markers. The course is a shade under 6400m from the back tee and provides some stunning challenges as several risk vs reward shots are set-up to test your skills and either thrill or disappoint depending on the outcome of the gamble. The bunkering is a little reminiscent of the Sand Belt in Melbourne with large deep bunkers and perfect white sand providing a glorious contrast to the lush fairways and water hazards.

Novotel Twin Waters Resort

The Novotel Twin Waters resort boasts a resort golf course of significant importance in Australian golfing circles. More Info…

The Novotel Twin Waters resort boasts a resort golf course of significant importance in Australian golfing circles. The course, which is often rated amongst Australia’s Top 30 golf courses, was one of the first collaboration in Australia by renowned architects Peter Thomson and Mike Wolveridge, who have designed such gems as Hope Island, National Ocean, Moonah Links, and The Links Port Douglas in the ensuing years.

Twin Waters is an interesting course in many ways, not the least being for its contrast to the other courses in the region. Whilst retaining a resort course feel at all times the course has been designed with the game’s true origins well and truly in mind. Not a links course but a links style design, Twin Waters embraces the old adage that golf is a game for all seasons and all players. The course is not difficult to walk, nor is it overly taxing on that new box of balls in your bag, its tough but not unfair and open to the elements most of the time.

The course features many physical characteristics of the ancient game of links golf including gently rolling fairways, small pot bunkers as well as patches of thick rough and open greens where the running links style approach shot is well suited. There are the usual water hazards and lush green fairways synonymous with resort golf, but the links golf elements at Twin Waters provide a nice contrast.

Built in the late 80’s and part of an overall resort development run by the Novotel Hotel group, Twin Waters will provide some respite for golfers who have tackled the challenges of nearby Coolum and Pelican Waters.
