Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay Golf Club was established in 1938 at Point Vernon but the club moved to its current 150-acre location seven years later. The initial 9-hole layout served golfers for over thirty years until it was eventually extended to eighteen holes in 1977.
Today, the course measures around 5,900 metres from the back tees, playing to a par of 70, with holes arranged as two returning nines. Water comes into play a few times on the back nine, where ponds threaten the approach shot to the green at #11, #13 and #16.
Other highlights include the only par fives on the course at the 4th and 13th; the shortest of the par threes in the southernmost part of the property at the 12th; and the demanding par four 18th which plays to a sand-protected offset home green.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
