How Kids-Friendly is Mount Coolum Golf Club?
What makes it 70% Kids-Friendly: Children up to 12 can play junior rounds at discounted fees and attend Friday clinics, but there is no playground, pool or child-minding, and long fairways may tire younger kids.

Very enjoyable golf course with long and very challenging golf holes. The views of Mt Coolum were stunning from virtually every hole. Pro shop staff were very helpful and the shop is well stocked with all your golfing requirements. Will definitely enjoy a return visit.

But it is a very scenic course with the BIG rock over looking you.
