GOLF LIFE

Noosa by nature is slice of fairway heaven

NOOSA is just as popular for it choice of greens as it is for its famous green nature. Golfing is every bit a part of the Man And the Biosphere designation handed out to this special part of the world by UNESCO.

And what better way to get out and enjoy nature with the odd birdie amid the swans, kangaroos and occasional koalas looking down on your swing.
