If you’re in Queensland on holidays or a local that loves their golf, beaches, restaurants or just relaxing with friends, then you really can’t go past the beautifully presented and friendly hospitality that Maroochy River Golf Club and the Sunshine Coast has to offer.
The Maroochy River Golf Club is situated in Bli Bli, a casual five minute drive from the Sunshine Coast Airport.
As is the case with all Sunshine Coast Courses, Maroochy River is part of the gateway to the beautiful, world-renowned Sunshine Coast – Queensland, where you have everything on offer, from the Australian Zoo in the Glass House Mountains, to the hinterland on the Great Dividing Range, Underwater World, Eumundi Markets, that boasts some of the world’s best beaches in Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland through to Maroochydore, Coolum, and the world-renowned Noosa beaches.
The Invincibles Tour on behalf of their members and junior golfers throughout South East Queensland, would like to pass on their thanks and appreciation to Charlie McGill (Secretary Manager) and the great team at their beautifully presented Golf Club.
The Tour would also like to pass on their thanks and appreciation to the great team in the Pro Shop, their bar staff, caterers, and ground staff for presenting their course and facilities in magnificent condition, but most importantly, for making everyone feel so welcome.

On what was another perfect day to be outdoors on the Sunny Coast! Particularly for the 116 contestants (and their families) that took up the challenge and full advantage of the conditions to contest the Maroochy River 2018 Junior Open. Where Ben Stieler (Brookwater – pictured with Caitlin) recorded a……..
Brilliant “Better Than His Best Performance” after finishing on 67/66nett, five under the card to win the Boys Open Champion Title for 2018, from defending Champion, Tyler Duncan (Redcliffe) who put up a great defence of his title, after recording a very respectable 69 (-3).
At one stage Ben (p1 - 3 below) had it six to under, but unfortunately handed one back on his final hole.
I’m stoked, Ben said, this is the best I’ve played, and really, anything was possible out there today, I was in a zone and I made the most of it “all but the last hole”.
Ben went on to say, it was a great feeling, and the guys in my group were a great support, they knew what was going on, and got behind me.
Caitlin Vanderkruk (Keperra - p2 below) put in a solid performance to take out the Girls Open Title with 76/71nett.
Maroochy River and their team, would like to thank and extend their appreciation to the dad’s
for bringing their sons and daughters to their Open, it was a fantastic turnout, and they hope that everyone had a great day out?
Other than a computer glitch at registration, which was something we’ve all experienced (pain in the butt) but something we appreciate is out of our control, and in the long run, it didn’t take anything away from the day.
The Tour keeps saying that one of the great side benefits of The Invincibles Tour, is the friendships, comradery, and sportsmanship that’s on display when our juniors, their families and galleries gather together at tour events, and there’s no doubt that the Maroochy River Junior Open displayed all the above.

Maroochy Golf Club was thrilled to bits with the turnout, particularly at presentations “where it was standing room only” and they would like to pass on their thanks and appreciation to everyone for their patience and for helping make the day a great success.
Tai – Shon Wai Wai (Redcliffe) qualified for The Invincibles 2018 IGA Sunshine Coast Junior Masters Championship, that will be hosted by the very generous and supportive Twin Waters, Pelican Waters, Peregian Golf Course, and Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort during the last week of the September School holidays (Sunday 30th September to Wednesday the 3rd of October). No girl qualified.
