Discover Golf : September 2015
Contents
18 discovergolf.com.au Hamilton Island is the gateway to the magnificent Whitsundays. It has been an idyllic holiday setting for generations, with yachting, fishing and water sports for visitors from across the globe. Hamilton Island Golf Club opened in 2009 and located on neighbouring Dent Island. Right from the outset, you will sense it is a special place, and for those seeking a unique golfing experience, you won’t be disappointed. After all, how many courses can boast their own island, and the only method of transportation to the clubhouse by ferry or helicopter? As you approach Dent Island, the imposing terrain that rises around 150 metres from the sea is both remarkable and unmistakable. This is not your standard palm-fringed, white, sandy beach island retreat. Rather, Dent Island is goat country. The majority of the island is covered in bedrock and hilly terrain, and it’s difficult to fathom a golf course can live here. The golf club is a credit to the current owners of Hamilton Island— the Oatley family—and their vision to create one of the most picturesque golf courses in the world. It is simply breathtaking. The 378-metre par four 13th— where you experience 360-degree views from the plateau fairway—has a vista unrivalled in this country. Take your time to digest the vivid and varying colours of the Coral Sea, as well as the majesty of a panoramic seascape including mountainous islands and the HAMILTON ISLAND GOLF CLUB
