Tropics Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 golf course in Kirwan, Townsville, Queensland. The course opened in 1981 and was long known as The Willows Golf Club before adopting the Tropics Golf Club identity. Its principal men's layout is published at approximately 6,250 metres, making the existing database value of 6,250 metres materially different from the older tee-set entry that incorrectly treated the same number as yards.
The club welcomes public golfers as well as members and provides online tee-time booking through MiClub. Golf facilities include a grass-tee driving range, pro shop, golf instruction, cart hire and club hire. The broader venue also includes The 19th at Tropics, which provides golf simulators alongside food and beverage facilities.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,250m. The course originally opened in 1981. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Pro Shop, Golf Simulator, Golf Cart Rental, Club Hire, Golf Lessons, Bar, Dining, and 2 more.
The course dates to 1981 and became established in Kirwan under the Willows Golf Club name. Its development formed part of the growth of golf facilities in Townsville's expanding western suburbs.
The most visible modern change has been the transition from The Willows Golf Club identity to Tropics Golf Club. The golf course itself continued as the established 18-hole layout while the venue's facilities and branding were updated. More recent additions include indoor golf simulators and hospitality facilities associated with The 19th at Tropics.
Tropics operates as a public-access, 18-hole par-72 club with membership also available. Tee times can be booked online, and the course is supported by a grass driving range, professional services, equipment hire and hospitality facilities.
