This 18 hole golf course is set in bush land just east of Point Leander Drive. It was hand cleared by Joe Clarkson, Bob Cousins and Ray Carter. Originally consisting of 9 holes, Joe Clarkson played here with his son Charlie as caddie in 1931. The course has become popular with locals and visiting golfers alike.
