The golfing experience in Australia can be – quite literally – a different beast.
A ball flies down the fairway, watched by a mob of kangaroos with passing interest. In a nearby water hazard, a three-and-a-half-meter long crocodile swims lazily by. On the green, a venomous snake uncoils out of the hole and slithers away into the long grass. In a country teeming with wildlife, the sprawling expanses of its myriad courses offer ideal habitats for an array of land-based, aquatic, and airborne species.
In May alone in Queensland, human remains were found inside a crocodile; weeks later, a snorkeler survived a saltie attack by prizing its jaws off his head. It brings a new meaning to the term ‘water hazards’ at Queensland’s various golf courses, including Half Moon Bay Golf Club near Cairns, situated on the state’s north-eastern tropical coastline and carved out of the thick coastal scrub between the Coral Sea and swathes of rainforest-covered mountains. It’s a course humming with wildlife.
