Breif History:
Using the original dairy and small crop farm land, the Howard and Weston family came up

with the idea to create a golf course, thus the family names were combined and Howeston Golf Course was born. When the course first opened in 1972, it was originally 9 holes before expanding to 18 holes in 1979. Howeston was run as a 18 hole course for twenty-four years, until 2003, when another 9 holes were developed and merged with the original 18, forming a full length 27 hole course. From these 27 holes come three unique 9 hole courses, the Howard, the Weston and the Westward nines, which provide the opportunity for a golfer to play a different combination each week to form their 18 hole round. The Howeston Pro-Am is an annual event usually held in September/October and is the second longest running event on the Queensland Sunshine Circut. In 2001 the Howeston Pro-Am was a finalist in the PGA's Metroplitan Tournament of the Year. Howeston has also hosted the Queensland PGA Championships and the QLD PGA Foursomes events. Weston won the QLD PGA Chairmans Award for outstanding contribution to golf.

โ›ณ๏ธWhat a difference two days makes!!! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The last two days of slow stead rain has been ideal for the course, with everything holding up well (full course open today with carts as per normal operation), and the added bonus of inflow into the dam, filling it right back up to nearly tip top ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

โ›ณ๏ธ How many times have we told golfers to fix their plug-marks! โ›ˆ๏ธ๐ŸงŠ

Howeston was smashed with the storms Mon (24/11/25) afternoon, with significant damage to most of the greens caused by giant hail! Other than that, rain and debris doesnโ€™t seem too bad upon first inspection.

Our plan is to open the course tomorrow (Tue, 25/11/25) however there will be a big effort on to firstly clean up the mess and then to repair the greens. Anyone wanting to play will have to be aware this will take some time.
Carts and what course(s) will be in play will be assessed in the morning. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ›ณ๏ธ Everyone has been checking out the course and enjoying the warm weather! โ›ณ๏ธ

Reminder: We are coring and sanding our greens Mon-Wed this week (29th, 30th + 1st). Due to this we will be reduced to 18holes each day and some extra delays on course should be expected ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ›ณ๏ธ ACE ALERT! โ›ณ๏ธ

Yesterday, Tyler (13y/o) has nailed the perfect shot on the Weston (BLUE) 7th for his first Hole in One!

Reports have it that he has been going around he is claiming this โ€œis just his firstโ€ hole in one (as though he is guaranteed another ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Great shot Tyler!!!

PSA, next week from Mon-Wed, we are completing our yearly green maintenance/renovations (coring and sanding) and the course will be operating in a reduced capacity. If you are thinking of coming out, please be patient and expect some delays. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ
