We regularly stop here on road trips to stretch our legs. It’s such a great spot and the mini golf grounds are gorgeous. Our toddler loves running over the bridges and the owners Christine and Tony are lovely. The driving range is in great condition and they have set up marquees and tables so it’s a perfect place to eat lunch (pack your own). Plenty of parking too!

This place is breathtaking from the drive in to some of the views a you make your way around the golf course. Although it is a little tiresome and difficult to get to with flights and transfers, the course is nothing short of spectacular from start to finish. The greenery is top class, and each hole provides its own challenges. It would be good to play a second round there after knowing where things were, blind tees and shots to greens that are left to the unknown the first time round. Be prepared for the wind, it was blustery the day we played but not horrific so made life a little more pleasant. The clubhouse and facilities are very primitive but don't let this judge your experience as the people in them were friendly and willing to assist with towels or umbrellas. A cart is not essential, but makes the day more enjoyable so book one as soon as you know you are playing there as there are not many of them. Take plenty of golf balls if you spray it as you don't find too many that go into the salt bushes, or off one of the cliffs into Bass Strait! Really good day out, take plenty of photos as there are some amazing views around the course, and book in a second round. Will definitely go back to this course as its easy to see how its rated so high on public access golf courses in Australia and the World.

Terrific picturesque golf course with great staff in the bar and pro shop. Lovely spot for a drink while others are playing. Nice chap in the pro shop and many thanks to the local who paid for our drinks when the eftpos went down and we were not carrying cash.

Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course is located in Port Douglas, Queensland, and is Far North Queensland's premier golfing experience.

Whether you are looking for a game of golf, or just to relax on the deck for lunch and a drink, then don't miss the Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course.

Loved it. In super condition, greens were reasonably quick for Bermuda, fairways in mint condition, club and pro shop staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a Peter Thompson design so you know there are options for every level of golfer on every tee. Grass range to warm up on. Good value for $135

We attended a 50th birthday party which was held in the Library Bar. We were so impressed by the fantastic catering and polite, attentive staff. The food just kept on coming, high quality and plenty of it; finger food, grazing platters, hot dishes, cheese platters and desserts. They even did an amazing birthday cake. For six hours the waitresses were filling glasses and tidying up with a smile the whole time. The Library Bar opens onto a covered patio with outdoor seating and then straight onto the golf course where the children could play. At the same time there was a wedding going on upstairs but our event was totally self contained and the two events did not collide at all. Totally impressed with this venue and would recommend to anyone!

Our family played a round of mini golf here and loved everything about it. It felt secluded with all the surrounding gardens, was creative and sometimes a little challenging. The kids (8 & 10), really enjoyed themselves, as did the adults. The entry price was reasonable, and considering the course took 5 of us around 1.5 hours, it was value for money.

Reviewed By trevorg327 - Perth, Australia
The Lost Farm is an amazing setup on the Barnbougle Golf Course. The most spectacular view in Tasmania without a doubt with sweeping ocean views and great shots of several holes on the links course. A must visit to any person touring Tasmania. Golf enthusiasts love it. Comes at a cost but when you get there you know why.
