Food is always good here. Drink prices are reasonable too. Have been to a wedding and a few functions here and it is always great. The course is amazing, very good to play on. Greens are always top notch. The view over the ocean tops it all off

Mike

I go with the ladies for birthday lunches which ends up about nearly every month. There yesterday and the meals are great and a very good price. The desserts were amazing. That is why we go there all the time.

Janet

Had our wedding reception here, the food was fantastic, the service was amazing, and the venue itself is beautiful. They catered to all of our needs and we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Niccy

Excellent wedding venue, the view is just spectacular, really helpful friendly staff, amazing food…. they make planning a breeze, five stars yes! absolutely recommend. Xx

Suzanne

The staff are so friendly and helpful and Melbourne Cup Day was so much fun. The menu was the best function meal that I have ever experienced. The club is open from 10am for coffee with the best view to the ocean. Great access for the elderly and disabled, and the perfect meeting place for lunch with the girls!

Denise

Great venue, outstanding view of Mooloolaba, excellent meals at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and hospitable. Definitely worth a visit.

Scenic golf course& friendly atmosphere. Fabulous ocean and coastal views from the restaurant and club house.
We’ve always enjoyed the restaurant. Great food, service & excellent value.

Susan

We had our wedding here on April 9th. We were blown away with the professionalism, attention to detail and thoughtfulness of Tina and the rest of the staff. The food impressed even our restauranter guests and multiple people said that it was the most smoothly run wedding they have ever attended. Thank you so much for all of your work to make our day perfect.

Amy

We recently had our ceremony and reception at Headland Golf Club and it was amazing!! Tina was brilliant from the beginning, answering every silly little question I had and changing details every time I changed my mind. She was very flexible and patient, with every little detail covered. On the day, everything was perfect, the ceremony site looked stunning, as did the reception room upstairs. Our server Julie was awesome, she chatted with our guests and no request was too much. She even took the time to ensure our 3 smallest guests were well cared for. The bar staff were friendly, and happy to assist with my last minute panic about music during canapés. Oh and the food was to die for, it was absolutely gorgeous and devoured by everyone. All our guests said it was a beautiful site with stunning views. Thank you!!!

Bianca

We recently held our wedding reception here on the 13th of May. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. A massive credit to the chefs. The meals were absolutely amazing, the guests are still commenting on how tasty all of the food was! Everything ran smoothly and Tina & Julie went above and beyond to look after us.

Shae

We would just like to say thanks for making our wedding day the perfect day that we were dreaming of!! You and your team were fantastic and made things run smoothly from start to finish.

The lead up was stress free and the day was perfect! Everything looked amazing and was set up so beautifully for both the ceremony and reception, and the outlook over the ocean by day and Mooloolaba lights at night was gorgeous.

The service and food was incredible and so many people have continued to comment on how great the food was! We could not have asked for anything more and are so pleased we chose Headland Golf Club for our wedding ceremony and reception venue.

Thanks again for everything (please also pass on our compliments and thanks to the chef) and I look forward to coming in for another great meal at the golf club some time!

Matt and Olivia

Just a quick one to say thank you so much to you and your team for making our wedding on Sunday so fantastic! We had the most wonderful day and had so many positive comments from our guests about the venue, food and service 🙂

Thanks again and we’ll definitely be recommending you in future 🙂

Elizabeth and Andrew

We just wanted to say thank you for everything you did in the lead up to and on our wedding day. The food was perfect and the staff were all so wonderful and accommodating.

Nothing was ever too much trouble and the whole process was easy and stress free, you are such a credit to the golf club and I really can’t thank you enough for everything!

Taryn & Adam Fitzsimmons

We would like to say a BIG thank you to you and the staff at Headland for a wonderful wedding. Your
approach in the lead up to the wedding was relaxed but informed, making the process very enjoyable. The service on the night was exceptional with nothing left to be desired.

All of our guests have commented on the beautiful venue and the amazing food. In fact we and our friends who live locally have made Headland one of their regular venues for dinner.

Tess & Ben Atherton

Forgive the lateness of my reply. I have been on a bit of a e-mail hiatus since the wedding – its been lovely.

We couldn’t have been more impressed with Headland Golf Club for our wedding venue. You were very pleasant and easy to deal with before the wedding. Nothing was an issue. Everything looked beautiful on the night and everything was set-up where I wanted it. The wait staff were very professional and enjoyed in the fun – which I loved. The view was spectacular. The food – superb! The price was affordable. I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about our special day. More people should get married at the Headland Golf Club!

Daniel & Jennifer Nicholson

We were absolutely delighted with our choice of venue at The Headland Golf Club. The room was just perfect for what we were looking for and the backdrop of the Sunshine Coast couldn’t have been more beautiful. The food was just divine, with a range that suited all diets in our combined families. There are not enough words to thank both the kitchen, bar and floor staff, they went above and beyond expectation using their own initiative when the occasions arose. Thank you to all at the Headland Golf Club for you hard work and gracious service. We highly recommend your services for any occasions.

Melissa & Adrian

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for Saturday night. The room looked perfect and the food was absolutely delicious, everyone raved about the food. It was a very enjoyable night had by all.

Jessica Todd

We just wanted to say thank-you to everyone who assisted in making our wedding the day it was. The food was fantastic (Compliments to the chef). The service of the staff members serving the food was great. Tina, you put so much into the organizing, we really appreciate it. The bar staff for keeping everyone happy. And anyone else I’ve forgotten.

Thanks again, we would not have done anything different and we’ve had nothing but compliments from all our guests

Rhett & Courtney

After my lesson with Adam the very next day I went out and won the competition with my best ever score by 4 shots!

Ciaran Fenton

Since working with Adam over the last 4 months my handicap has gone from 28 to 19 in which time I was able to win my first monthly mug – my proudest golfing achievement to date

Mark Gersbach

I first started with Adam in SWING nearly 2 years ago where I developed an understanding of the basic fundaments to be a good golfer. I now play off a handicap of 16 and recently won the ladies B grade championships

Christina Claxton

Great service and price is what you’ll get when you enter the Headland Golf Club Pro Shop

James Kidd

I first met Adam in a SMING clinic where I found there was more to golf than just hitting the ball. I learnt not only skills but etiquette, rules and even some history with regards to this great game

Keith Buckley

Last Saturday evening we had a birthday celebration for my wife at the club for which you catered for the gathering of 50 people.

I wish to express my appreciation for the assistance, co-operation and first class food and service you and your staff provided. The cocktail style menu was superb, and you were certainly true to your word regarding both quality and quantity.

Naturally this could not have been possible without the expertise of your kitchen staff, so please convey to them our compliments for a job well done. Performances such as that certainly contribute to an enjoyable evening for all in attendance, and feedback from those people have reinforced our feelings of the evening.

Thank you once again to all of you for helping all of us have a most enjoyable evening.

B. Meacham

I would like to thank you most sincerely for the marvelous function you organised last Friday for our Ingham Ex Pats Luncheon. Your meal was delicious in every respect and of course the venue with a view is unsurpassed on the coast.

Everyone present commented on the great food and requested that we come back next year, if you will have us!

Thank you again Greg, and best wishes in your future endeavours.

Jan Bathgate

On behalf of our committee and members of the Jaguar Drivers Club here on the Sunshine Coast, I would sincerely like to thank you all for a great day! Our 20th anniversary lunch was a great success. The food was outstanding as was the service. Many thanks for a very memorable afternoon!

Mal Wager

The main event for the year our 15th birthday party has finally passed for which the committee and I would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere gratitude and thanks to the both of you for assisting to make this major event a huge success. We would especially like to extend our compliments to your restaurant team, for the seamless execution of the lunch.

We are certain that you would have gained many potential customers on the way as the general feedback from our guests was extremely positive.

Once again, thank you to a job well done!

L. Simpson

Just a brief note to tell you how much we enjoyed the other night, the food absolutely excellent and Monique who managed it did an outstanding job. You are both to be congratulated!

Another great night in an outstanding facility, and if you ever need a ‘reference’ for a prospective customer please feel free to call me.

Thank you, and please pass on our compliments.

J.Annabell

On behalf of the AFCC National Committee, I would like to express my appreciation for your hospitality during our recent meeting. Your making the boardroom available as well as providing the general services of the club to facilitate our meeting was much appreciated.

Please pass on to Tina and the rest of the staff our heartfelt thanks for the manner in which they looked after us. The food, service and presentation were absolutely first-class and you can be justifiably proud of the reputation that has been afforded the club by our committee members.

Again, many thanks.

Bob

We loved the great job you did recently for us as we celebrated Lesley’s 70th Birthday. The food was delicious and service outstanding! We have received many positive comments about the food and the venue. You should be proud!

Thank you all very much,

T. Young

On behalf of the Sunshine Coast Private Hospital Auxiliary may I again congratulate you on the wonderful lunch you provided for our organisation. The comments from our members and guests have been positive.

It would be our wish that we can again hold our annual luncheon at your venue next year.

Once again on behalf of the Auxiliary many thanks.

R. Lee

On behalf of the SCLMA I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to your and all the staff involved for making our Christmas celebration a very successful and enjoyable evening.

The whole evening went very well and we were impressed by the meals and the service.

Starting with delicious savouries, the meals were fantastic and so were the drinks and service provided. I was impressed with the way that you handled our varied requests for special meals, frequently changed numbers and the perfect timing you were able with meals served around the talks and Santa visit.

By the end of the evening there was a general consensus that we had experience a much better meal and venue than our previous parties held at other venues and we would defiantly return next year!

Thanks to Kitchen and Bar staff for making it happen.

T. Pease

Thank you for my beautiful snapper lunch. The crab hollandaise sauce was delicious. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Chloe Broekman

Thank you for a lovely day yesterday. Everyone enjoyed themselves and their meals thoroughly and will come again. The platters you made up for us were fantastic. Thanks again.
