Tropics Golf Club, formerly known as The Willows Golf Club, is a premier 18-hole championship golf course located in Kirwan, just minutes from the centre of Townsville. Originally opened in 1981, the course has long been regarded as one of North Queensland’s leading public golf destinations. Set amongst tropical surrounds, the par-72 layout features gently undulating fairways, strategically placed bunkers and well-conditioned greens that provide an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Throughout its history, the course has hosted prestigious events including the Queensland Masters and the Australian Legends Tour, cementing its reputation as one of the region’s standout championship layouts. Following a change in ownership, the club underwent significant investment and redevelopment before being rebranded as Tropics Golf Club, marking the beginning of a new era while preserving the quality of the original course.

Today, Tropics Golf Club offers far more than just an outstanding golf course. Golfers can take advantage of a grass tee driving range, practice facilities and modern clubhouse amenities, while the recently opened 19th at Tropics provides state-of-the-art golf simulators, a sports bar and casual dining in a relaxed social setting. The club welcomes both members and visitors, hosting regular competitions, corporate golf days and social events throughout the year. While many locals still affectionately refer to the course as “The Willows”, Tropics Golf Club has firmly established itself as one of Townsville’s premier golfing destinations, combining championship golf, excellent facilities and a friendly atmosphere that appeals to golfers of all abilities.
