Alternative NameTewantin-Noosa Golf ClubAdditional InformationThe Club was established in 1937 firstly as a 9-hole golf course, then to a 12-hold before finally becoming and 18-hold golf course.
The club was established when nine businessmen met to consider beginning a local golf club. Shire councillor R. T. Read had secured 65ha of land, and five of the assembled men agreed to each donate five pounds to buy it.
The meeting was chaired by Laurie Elmer, generally regarded as the founder of the club. The modern clubhouse, overlooking the 18th green, is named ‘Elmer House’ in his honour.
The land was cleared; Scott Murphy, the professional at nearby Gympie Golf Club drew up plans for the fairways; and a nine-hole course, with sand scrapes instead of grass greens, was ready for play in 1937. And the course has undergone and continues to be upgraded and improved both on the course and the clubhouse to this day.
In December 1979 the Club was the birthplace of the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic.Address46, Cooroy-Noosa Road, Tewantin,4566
