Start your day with a hearty breakfast at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort before hitting the course for 18 holes of golf.
Bordered by National parklands and the picturesque Lake Weyba, Noosa Springs was designed by Graham Papworth. A former civil engineer, Papworth learned his craft working alongside course architect Ross Watson and, later, the Watson and Graham Marsh partnership. He spent nine years honing his skills prior to commencing work at Noosa Springs.
Several fresh and saltwater lakes provide water hazards on many of the holes, calling for strategic decision-making and accurate shot placement. The lay of the land and design also influences a players distance perception, making one second-guess their club selection throughout. However, the course was not designed to be an impenetrable golf fortress. With four tee options, players of all handicaps will delight in driving onto the Greenlees Park couch fairways, which are beautifully presented year-round (assisted by the idyllic Noosa weather). Meanwhile the Bermuda Tifdwarf greens provide a receptive, true rolling surface for players to take on their par and birdie putts.
