About Beerwah Golf Club
  • Beerwah Golf Club is situated in the Glass House Region of the Sunshine Coast. Established in 1963, the Club has seen tremendous growth in the past four years, primarily due to two factors;

  • The population explosion within the popular Sunshine Coast Region.
The Club is positioning itself, not to be only a first-class golf Course but to be a Community Hub, developing services and amenities beyond the golf course itself.

Whilst maintaining and improving the golf course remains a strong focus guided by our Course Development Plan, the Board has developed an ambitious Strategic Plan aimed at expanding the Club’s business portfolio.
