PICK-UP: AIRLIE BEACH TO WHITSUNDAY GREEN

Your outing starts with a pick-up in Airlie Beach, the mainland base for trips out to the 74 islands of the Whitsundays. From there it's only about ten minutes by road to Whitsunday Green in Cannon Valley, so you're barely settled before the palms of the course come into view. There's nothing to organise: the transfer is booked, your hire clubs are waiting and the round is paid for. Have enclosed, flat-soled shoes on, as they're needed on the course, and bring a hat, because the tees here get plenty of tropical sun.

NINE HOLES OF PAR 3

Whitsunday Green is a nine-hole par 3 course where a round usually takes under two hours. It's built so a first-timer can enjoy it and a regular golfer still has to think. Short course, short bag: you take out no more than three clubs, and most people manage with a pitching wedge, a sand iron and a putter. Each hole sits at its own angle to the sea breeze, so the same nine play differently on a calm day and a windy one. Never held a club before? This is the course to learn on, with no long walks between shots.

THE CLUBHOUSE AND BACK TO AIRLIE BEACH

Beside the course there's a driving range and a practice putting green, and the air-conditioned clubhouse café is licensed, so a cold drink after the ninth is easy to find (food and drinks are extra, and you can't bring your own alcohol). Locals play here too, and the clubhouse is where the day's best shots get retold. When you're done, the transfer takes you back into Airlie Beach, about three and a half hours after you set out. There's still time for a swim at the Airlie Beach Lagoon, a free, stinger-safe public pool on the foreshore.
