Golf is not merely a method of keeping fit or agile, it is also a means through which players relax, unwind and socialize. Some of the best turfs enjoyed by those in Mackay are explored.
The doors of the Mackay Golf Club are well and truly open for anyone who wishes to saunter in for a quick drink or even a round of strokes around the course. This makes life at the Mackay Golf Club enjoyable and all the most rewarding as you are constantly surrounded by your near and dear. The facilities are so well loved by its frequenters that social events, parties and even wedding receptions are accommodated on the jade and emerald lawns of the club. With eighteen holes and two rounds, the park is built to help groom amateurs and challenge professionals. Corporate golf events are fairly regular as are charitable golf competitions. There is rarely a dull day at the Mackay Golf Club with a large number of events being hosted, tournaments being conducted and golfers striding around with their clubs engaged in social golf at all times of the day and year.
The homely clubhouse, well-pruned lawns, the tall trees that stand on the turf, the friendly caddies and the panoramic trimmings to the green lawn offered by Bakers Creek are the main constituents of the Black Springs Golf Course. There are competitions held on three days of the week and it is the thrill of being on a golf course with a club in hand chasing behind a white ball that keeps all the players going more than the anticipation of victory.
This is an outstanding gaming centre, park, bar, restaurant and function hall all rolled into one. It is the ultimate location for sports enthusiasts and their families as spouses, children and friends can all be kept entertained under one roof or at least within the same premises at the same time. The course is smaller than most other neighbouring golf grounds as it has only nine holes but is adequate for all. Harrup Park is usually abuzz with activity throughout the day, buffet dinner and lunch are available, special promotional packages are arranged constantly for some sport or activity and its members truly reap the benefit of being affiliated to a large sports centre. This complex enjoys being in one of the most central locations within easy reach from many Mackay hotels including those preferred havens away from home such as the Oaks Rivermarque.
The club derives its name from the growth of melaleuca trees in the nearby forests and its short course is considered underrated. Due to this fact, the grounds are less busy than others and the fresh air, breeze by the brooks and the challenges posed by shrubs and water make the golf club one of the favourites amongst those who have actually discovered it in its snug corner right in the middle of Mackay.
