The
Maleny Golf Club may have been almost 20 years in reaching this stage,
but on June 30th at 10am stage one will be officially declared open.
The first nine holes of the course, designed by Graham Papworth who has
designed many other professional courses have now been completed and
membership of the club has now passed 400 members.
Much of the work completed has been done by volunteers of the Maleny community and in golf club terms the cost has been very minimal, at this stage costing in the vicinity of $750,000 of which $450,000 has been forthcoming from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.
Already the club has obtained a fleet of golf carts for hire and built garages for them for those who would like a smooth ride around this picturesque course. A comfortable tempory clubhouse is already on site.
The club now looks forward to starting construction on the next nine holes.
