By David Luis 
Beerwah Golf Club is a flat par 72 at the foot of the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast, with kangaroos on the fairways and a 6,022m card that suits walkers. A weekday visitor round is A$82 (A$90 on weekends), and Ordinary membership is A$1,373.50 a year but currently waitlisted.
Old directory pages still show A$15. Here is what the club really charges and whether it is worth the drive.
GCR Score: 4.0 / 5
Verdict: Recommended as an honest, walkable hinterland course with open visitor access and transparent pricing; book early if you want an Ordinary membership.
Best For: Walkers, relaxed social golfers, Sunshine Coast visitors, occasional players
Think Twice If: You want dramatic scenery from every tee or a quick route to full membership

What Visitors Pay
From 1 October 2026 the club lists an 18-hole visitor round at A$82 on weekdays and A$90 on weekends. Nine holes is A$54. Juniors pay A$28, twilight after 2pm is A$40 and groups of 12 to 36 pay A$59 each.
A motorised cart is A$44 for 18 holes, club hire is A$20 and a pull buggy is A$5. You register online before you can book a tee time.
A word of warning. Several third-party listings still show an A$15 green fee for this course, and that figure is repeated on several directory pages. It does not match the club’s own current pricing, so ignore it.
Membership Costs and the Waitlist
| Category | Annual fee | Joining fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary | A$1,373.50 | None | Seven-day play; A$100 food and drink credit; currently waitlisted |
| Fairway Flex | A$320 | None | Pay-as-you-play with Golf Australia handicap; A$100 credit |
| 5-Day | A$1,183.50 | None | Existing members only; waitlisted |
| Intermediate (18-22) | A$568.50 | A$250 | For young adults |
| Junior (under 18) | A$143.50 | None | Entry category |
The Ordinary, Fairway Flex and 5-Day categories carry no joining fee, and the A$100 credit offsets part of the subscription. Weekly competitions cost A$17 per event on top.
The Fairway Flex option suits occasional golfers. A Flex member pays A$45 for 18 holes against the A$82 weekday visitor rate, so the A$320 fee pays for itself after about nine rounds. Our guide to when club membership beats green fees works through the same logic for full memberships.
Ordinary members play seven days at no green fee. For how the numbers compare nationally, see why Sydney Golf Clubs Cost 1.6 Times the Regional Rate.
The Course: Flat, Fair and Occasionally Wet
The club describes a predominantly level layout that rewards smart management over power. Mount Beerwah is visible from the back nine, and the fairways border State Forest, so wildlife is part of the round.
A few holes stand out on the course tour. The 1st is a short par 4 that doglegs left with out of bounds on the right. The 8th (475m) and 12th (486m) are the two par 5s the club flags, and on the 12th a creek crosses the fairway roughly 70m short of the green.
The 16th is rated the hardest. It is a 329m par 4 with a native gum in the fairway, water right and a small elevated green. The finish is a 182m par 3 with a downhill putt, so the club advises leaving the ball below the hole.
Our key takeaway: the layout is gentle to walk, but the 16th and the creek on the 12th punish careless shots.
Land, History and the Lease
The idea for the course was floated at a meeting at the Beerwah Peachester RSL on 17 October 1967. The land was described as a virtual swamp, and the club credits thousands of volunteer hours for turning it into a course. The first nine opened in 1970.
Sunshine Coast News reported in 2024 that the club sits on state-owned land with a lease running to 3 December 2040, and put membership at about 900. Ask the club about renewal terms if you plan to stay beyond that date.
Dress Code
Collared shirts are required on the course, and metal spikes are banned. In the clubhouse, course-appropriate clothing is fine until 7pm, then smart casual applies. Stubbies, singlets, football socks and tracksuits are out. Our guide to club clothing rules covers the wider conventions.
Best Time to Visit
Dry, mild weather from April to October is the easy choice. Visitors can play on social days Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, plus Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and early tee times start at 6am on Tuesdays and Fridays. Members run Saturday.

Verdict and Score
Beerwah earns 4.0 out of 5. It scores for clear pricing, a no-joining-fee membership structure, an easy walk and a friendly feel. It loses points for a plain card next to the coast’s better-known courses and a waitlist on the main adult categories.
If you want a relaxed round near the Glasshouse Mountains, book the twilight rate. Our review methodology page explains how we score friendliness against architecture.
