As of 1 April 2020, Queensland Health and Golf Australia have both advised that golf courses can be opened for golf, providing:
- Social distancing rules are diligently applied
- Alcohol is not consumed on the course.
Bay Island Golf Club recommends you stay at home for the health and safety of yourself and the broader community.
Should you decide to play, you must abide by the rules. If you do not you and the Club will suffer heavy penalties. The club may be put in the position of fines or closure and you may be fined or suspended from the Club. If you are in any doubt about the situation please contact the Club on 07 3409 5299 ext 3 between 11am and 3pm seven days per week.
The course will be marshalled daily. Please ensure that the club has your up to date mobile and email address so that we can keep you informed with information as it comes to hand. Email Laurie (Club Captain ) info@bayislandgolfclub.com.au or myself (President) at bayislandsmarine@bigpond.com
Please remember, that as of Thursday 30 April 2020, the Club will be open daily from 10:30am to 5:30pm for pre-packaged and alcohol takeaway sales. There is a good range of soft drinks and mixers, as well as, snacks such as chips, nuts and cashews. Before you purchase online from a major retailer, think about supporting your Club!
We are aware that many of you are missing the interaction and socialisation of playing golf. These are uncertain times. The following resources are available online:
COMPETITIONS
Competitions are up and running although still with restrictions. We
can now play in groups of four still of course with social distancing
and if in a buggy then one person per buggy unless you are from the same
household. There are time starts on the mixed and mens competition
days from 7.30am and the sheets are on the DOSA deck area each day at
the clubhouse for you to put your name down. There will be a shot gun start for Ladies comp on Tuesdays you may either contact Zan Howe or there will be a sign on sheet on the DOSA deck.
The flag is still to stay in the hole and their will be no rakes in the bunkers so you may
have a preferred lie. If you have any other queries please contact our
Club Captain Laurie Fleming who is happy to help.
SOCIAL MEMBERS
Unfortunately for our social members the clubhouse is still closed to entertainment, dining and the pokies, but I’m sure like myself we will be planning a big party for when the doors open back up on a Friday night. In the meantime everyone in the office has been working hard organising all the paperwork for the audit which should be completed shortly, as well as the day to day running of the club.
Once again thank you to everyone for your continued support, stay safe and hopefully things will return to normal in the near future.

Bay Island Golf Club President

Why rush away when you can relax in the clubhouse where our friendly bar staff are there to serve you a wide range of refreshments or direct you to the bistro for a light lunch or evening meal.
Most days there’s a courtesy bus and every day you’ll find a great welcome at the Bay Islands Golf Club.
