A solid opening hole. Aim the tee shot to the right of the fairway to allow for the right-to-left slope of the fairway. Too far right however and your approach will be blocked by a clump of trees. Beware of the large bunker in front of a green with a substantial slope from back to front.

A shortish Par 5 with a dogleg to the right which the longer hitters can have a crack at in two. Mere mortals should make sure of a straight drive, and place their second to the left side of the fairway opening the green up for the third. Bunkers flank the front left and right of the green, which has a slight ridge running across the centre

Those who tend to move the ball left should leave the Driver in the bag here, with water running two-thirds of the way down the left hand side of the hole. New players to the course should beware of the bunker short-right of the green – virtually invisible from the fairway. A long skinny green with slight undulations makes for a tough Par 4 overall.

No relief from the water as it runs all down the left side of the dogleg left Par 4. A tee shot to the right corner of the dogleg will open up the green for the second. The green is protected by 2 bunkers – one left and one right – and is 2-tiered which makes putting very interesting, especially when you end up on the wrong tier. Many a 3-putt have been seen on this green.

The first Par 3 of the golf course which is deceptively difficult. The bunker short left will pick up any poor shots aiming at a front pin placement, and the right side bunker comes in to play for those with a left-to-right ball flight. Take good note of the pin placement, as the green is very long and can play up to a 3 club difference from front to back. The putting surface has a number of tricky undulations, making Par no certainty

The sixth is a short Par 4 dogleg left but one which requires Robin Hood accuracy off the tee. A fairway wood or long iron down the right half of the fairway will set-up the approach. Anything in the left side of the fairway is blocked by trees at the corner of the dogleg, and anything further left than that will make you feel as though you're in Sherwood Forest. Club selection is crucial on the approach to this severely tiered green, which runs quickly from back to front.

The longest hole on the golf course from the back plates, the seventh is a true test. A long drive up the hill is required, followed by a second aimed at the right side of the fairway which will open up for an approach to the green. Anything left on the second is disastrous. A tough approach shot back down the hill and over bunkers to the green which is long and undulating. A very good golf hole.

With trees running up the left hand side, the right hand bunker is likely to catch those with left-to-right ball flight. The ideal play is to draw the ball over the bunker into the heart of this extremely tough green. With 2 tiers and a severe slope from back to front, this green has tormented many golfers of all abilities. One piece of advice – try to keep the ball below the hole.

Leave the driver in the bag once again on this short dogleg left Par 4. A lay-up into the heart of the fairway is the ideal play, leaving a short to mid iron shot into a tough green. Anything short will either find one of three pot bunkers guarding the green, or will roll down into the valley well below the level of the green. Once on the green, take care with putting as this green holds many undulations – up, down, left right – you name it.

Time to pull the Driver out on this wide open fairway which feeds from right to left. A lay-up short of the water hazard about 100m from the green is the ideal play, with only the longer hitters taking it on. A large green awaits the approach shot, with 2 bunkers on the right side of the green waiting to pick up any stray shots. Not the most difficult green on the golf course lends its hand to some favourable birdie putts.

The eleventh is an absolute gem. This hole has the ability to give out plenty of birdies, but just the same has the ability to give out some big scores. Big hitters can attempt to drive the ball up the hill and onto the green, however three bunkers loom large to eat up any wayward or miss-hit shots. The ideal play is to lay-up short of the traps, and pitch over them up onto the green. The green is slick from back to front with a tendency to turn to the left.

A visually spectacular Par 4, the twelfth is a favourite of many of Headland's members. With water running along the left side from the 150m mark to the green, safety is definitely the number one priority. With your ball in the fairway, club selection is vital playing into a deceptively long green. Mounds on the right of the green can assist or hinder the approaching ball, depending on your luck. The green is reasonably straight-forward, sloping from back to front.

A wide fairway awaits your tee shot on the thirteenth, however Out Of Bounds all the way up the right hand side of the hole is always in the back of the mind. The hole bends slightly left towards the end, meaning a second shot down the right half of the fairway is ideal to open up the green, which is protected by two bunkers on the right hand side and mounds on the left. The green is slightly undulating with slick speed from back to front.

A relatively straightforward Par 3, the fourteenth is in a sense the calm before the storm of the next three Par 4's. That doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. The elevated tee makes for difficult club selection to a green with a large bunker left and a small pot bunker right. Pin placement is a large factor on a long green that slopes from back to front.

The hardest hole on the course for the men, getting to the green is just a part of the challenge on this long Par 4 (Par 5 for the ladies). The tree-lined fairway leads up the hill to a green with 2 tough bunkers on the left and severe mounding on the right. The green itself is very quick with some serious undulations – all adding up to one difficult golf hole.

A picturesque hole, the sixteenth is another long Par 4. The elevated tee lends itself to some long drives down the hill, before the hole meanders past a waterhole on the right and back up the hill to the green. Any approaches to the right side of the green are likely to slide into one of the two bunkers or down the slope for a tough pitch shot. Another quick green awaits, with 2 putts always a good outcome.

The third of three tough Par 4's in a row, seventeen has been known to bring out some big scores. Hazard all the way along the right hand side keeps the driver in the bag, while an extremely elevated green makes the approach shot very difficult. Two bunkers around the front of the green catch anyone who has under-clubbed up the hill, which leads to the most difficult green on the golf course. Severe slope and lightning speed cap off what is a tough hole.

Eighteen is a fun Par 3 that takes you back to the foot of the clubhouse. Club selection is crucial to ensure that you don't fall short or roll back off the front of the green. Many promising rounds have capitulated at this point. A bunker lingers long and left for those that over-club, while the large green has many tricky undulations despite looking relatively flat. The ideal way to end a fabulous round of golf.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
