Craignish Country Club

Hervey Bay sits on Queensland's Fraser Coast, a wide, unhurried stretch of subtropical coastline best known as the gateway to Fraser Island and one of the world's great whale-watching corridors. The region has a relaxed, community-minded character, and its golf reflects that — the clubs here tend to be the kind of places where locals gather as much for the social fabric as the sport itself.

Craignish Country Club is a private members' club serving the residential community of Craignish, a quiet coastal suburb on the southern edge of Hervey Bay. Like many regional Queensland clubs, it functions as a genuine community anchor — a place where regular competitions, club days, and social golf form the backbone of the calendar rather than the exception to it. The course itself plays across typically flat coastal terrain, with the open sky and warm subtropical climate that define golf on this part of the Queensland coast.

For visiting golfers, access requires an invitation or arrangement through a member, which gives Craignish a local, unhurried character that larger resort layouts rarely replicate.
