9 Hole Island Resort Golf Course

Dunk’s eco-friendly 9 hole golf course, with boardwalks through dense rainforest, offers spectacular views of the Family Islands and the mainland.

* The Dunk Island Golf Course is situated on freehold land surrounded by both National and Marine Parks. As such the Course has been constructed and is being maintained in the most environmentally sensitive manner to ensure the protection of surrounding ecosystems.

* In what must be close to a world first, the Course construction involved no major earthworks and the layout was designed around our trees (making the course quite demanding). The natural drainage has not been disturbed and all water is sourced on demand from a spring fed dam. Grasses native to Dunk Island are used on the tees and fairways.

* For the non golfer, the walk around the course shows some of the stunning aspects and views of the Island.

Spa of Peace and Plenty

Created to blend harmoniously with our rainforest gardens in a subtle eastern style. Rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit through indulging in a range of spa treatments from facials to body wraps and massage. Open between 9.30am and 6.00pm. Bookings essential and charges apply.
