Not particularly memorable other than for the mosquito bites. Only one hole lives in the memory, the second, and the rest are somewhat bland, nothing to write home about. Couch is invading a number of greens and the bunkers are a little thin but the fairways are magnificent. BTW, I had 76 hits so not sour grapes.

Great layout, super friendly staff and the convenience of the best driving range in FNQ. Now if you're a golf tragic, you may get a little disappointed with the bunkers as they're not perfect. Overall I would rate this course in the top 2 or 3 in FNQ.

Hired out this venue for my 60th birthday. Can not speak highly enough of Matt Bolton, Chole and the bar staff that worked that night. Every one spoke highly about the friendly service they received all night. … Your friendly smiling faces and professional attitude made my birthday celebration perfect. Your venue was perfect. Thank you all so much. I’ll have no hesitation in recommending The Cairns Golf for anyone’s next function 🙏👏

Great venue for a party! I was there this past weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday and would like say Matt and the team were great, friendly and accommodating. Will finish off by saying thank you to chef and kitchen staff as the food was tasty.

Very rude experience from the staff, I forgot my mask when going into the store and a staff member gave me the most disgusting look ive ever received. Fair enough to not serve me but the look I was given was definitely overkill, i live around the corner so I could have easily come back with my mask on but after receiving such a dirty look there was no way I could ever go back there. A shame because I would go there 4 times a week.

A good course and layout. Had a fair bit of stress at the start trying to get a gift voucher honored. Played badly on the front 9 worrying if they’d get it sorted out or not. They let us know after 9 that it was but the damage was done. Would have enjoyed it otherwise.

Very well maintained fairways, consistent green speed, friendly staff, buggies in excellent condition. All in all a top level course.
