MAGENTA SHORES GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
The first six years of this century produced a boom in new golf course construction in this country.
This brief period saw the likes of Barnbougle Dunes, St Andrews Beach, Ellerston, The National’s Moonah Course, 36 holes at Thirteenth Beach and Moonah Links, Brookwater, Hamilton Island, The Vintage, Ranfurlie, Sanctuary Lakes, Pelican Waters, The Glades and Pacific Harbour all added to the Australian golfing landscape.
Most of these creations were crafted from beautiful golfing terrain, while others, like The Glades and Pelican Waters rose from disused floodplains, and Sanctuary Lakes laid upon salt flats.
And then there is the unlikely story of Magenta Shores Golf and Country Club, born out of a seaside rubbish tip to immediately cement its place among these aforementioned courses in the ranking of the Top-100 Courses in the country.
