Cairns Golfing Trip
Hi All,
I am going to Cairns in two weeks for a golf trip with some mates. We are playing at:
cairns golf course
half moon bay
paradise palms
Are there any good courses in the region I am missing say up in Port Douglas?

Definitely play a game at the Sea Temple course (formerly known as The Links). Sea Temple & Paradise Palms are the only Top 100 courses in the area. I played at Paradise Palms a few weeks ago and it was in reasonable nick (even though the course is being partially renovated).
Don't waste your time with the course at the Mirage resort. Over-priced and very poorly conditioned.

Links and Sheraton Mirage in Port Douglas. (Although I'd skip the Mirage)
Mossman, Mareeba and Atherton a little further away

Mossman is only 10-15 mins from Port Douglas, and although I've never played there, from all accounts it is a nice course.

Yep, haven't played there either and have heard the same myself.

Yep, Mossman is a ripper of a course. Always in great nick. Has it's own "hell corner". (14,15,16)

Amen Corner. That's what I meant.
If I can get through those 3 holes in less than 8 over par, I'm having a good day.
