Hamilton Island Golf Club

(Played 21/10/25) The course is phenomenal. Without doubt the hardest but most picturesque I have played. The service however, leaves a lot to be desired. The boat and welcome were great. The pro told us that a food and drink cart would meet us on the front and back nine, the bar would have sandwiches and snacks to buy at halfway and to enjoy the day. Got to halfway and went to the clubhouse to get something to eat…. There was 2 cherry ripes and a couple of bags of peanuts. When we asked if there were sandwiches or hot food to buy, we were rudely told, “no” by the man at the bar. When I asked could we get some sandwiches made, “no” was the direct answer! Back out on the course for the back nine and no food/drink cart in sight. When I questioned the pro when we got back he said that the FB staff were busy…. The were less than 20 people in the whole club! For a venue and course of this caliber and for the price you pay ($250) you do expect to be able to buy some food for lunch during a 5 hour round. The other point being they know exactly how many people are on the course well in advance due to having to book, at least cater for that many people. Enjoy the golf, take snacks. Edit: Looking through some recent reviews, it seems this is quite common. Maybe a change in manager/staff required.

Absolutely stunning Golf Course. The hospitality, challenging course and fantastic meal in the clubhouse not to be missed! We loved it so much, we decided to play a second day.

Had a very nice lunch at the golf club today. Both the entree and the main were fantastic, and the view from there was great. The service was nice too. Would recommend to go there for the food. Haven't played golf, so can't comment on that

Definitely one of the best golf courses I have played with stunning views. Course is very well maintained and a very challenging course with tight fairways, don’t wanna be missing left or right. Highly recommend bringing extra golf balls. Staff were amazing

Knowledge, helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful but challenging golf course. Top notch feed (chicken burger) and beer after the game. Perfect day!! (other than my golf score) haha…

Golf was spectacular. The vistas and views are worth the trip . It was not busy on a weekday and they don't combine groups which is nice. Despite having "nut free" or "gluten free" options on their menu they won't guarantee anything. They refused to serve me food given my peanut allergy as they didn't want the liability. They also very much told us not to stop for food (my husband still needed to eat as he doesn't have the allergy). And we were very strongly told they wouldn't serve him anything other than a bagged sandwhich as it would back up the course. There was no one behind us... We came for golf though and not the food so overall 4/5 stars.

Attended for lunch set 2 course with boat transfers at about $100pp. Exquisite food and glorious views over Whitsundays. Exceeded expectations. Book ahead. Thanks to the staff, especially Lily for a lovely experience. Save this for special occasions or date night.

Had a fantastic time on the course, one of the most beautiful and unique in the world. Unfortunately, as we sat down for lunch after our round, we were told that we couldn't sit on any of the tables with a view (despite them being empty for all the time we were there). The main reason for this, according to the waitress, was her having to reset the table once we were finished, despite there being plenty of time until the next booking. The food was nice but the entree portions sizes were very small.

This golf course on its own island just off the coast of Hamilton Island was opened in 2009. It's a spectacular layout with plenty of challenging tee shots and several blind approaches too. I would NOT recommend this for beginners as there are plenty of opportunities to lose balls here with errant and/or short tee shots. I was sent off first as I was a single which was very nice of them. It allowed me to capture a lot of the photos and videos I've included here without the pressure of others coming up behind me. Carts included GPS and they switched it to Yards vs Meters for me. Nice touch. Staff were all very friendly and eager to ensure we had a great experience. I rented clubs vs dragging mine from the states and found them to be quality and in good shape (Titleist) Only critical notes: - No beers available till 10am, not great with a 7:15am tee time. - No food available till 11am, take note.
