If you are on holidays do you really want to play golf with the group behind constantly pushing you? For a relaxed, economical game, try Tanawha, where the pace is easy, scenery lovely and for the non golfers in the group, there are two synthetic grass tennis courts, a 12m swimming pool and right next door the delightful Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens.Tanawha Valley Golf & Tennis is a 9 hole , Par 3 course with 3 different tee lengths per hole to provide interest for the proficient golfer as well as not too much challenge for the beginner or junior golfer depending on the choice of tees. There is water, bunkers and a bit of varied terrain to keep things interesting. Rental clubs and tennis racquets are available at reasonable cost for those that need them. The shop is well stocked with beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and great light snacks and coffee too.Our management and staff always try to make your experience here as enjoyable as possible. Families are welcome as well as the single golfer. As are most courses, we are licensed so no BYO alcohol and dress code is simple, just neat with enclosed shoes, preferably not slippery, just for your own safety.
