The Capricorn Resort Yeppoon: RESORT and GOLF COURSES CLOSED IN 2016, with no clear plan to re-open. Check current status before planning a visit.

[Original Where2Golf description]: The Mercure (formerly Rydges) Capricorn Resort Yeppoon is home to two championship golf courses: the original "Resort" layout, which was followed 6 years later in 1992 by the longer "Championship" course.

The Resort course is a generally well-regarded layout, which includes several attractive holes and features. This tree-lined and open parkland course will test most facets of your game, and should provide a round with plenty of enjoyable golfing challenges.

Who's Who

Céline Boutier: with many successes as both an amateur and professional golfer, Boutier added a major championship title to her impressive résumé at this year’s Evian Championship.

Alex Cejka: buffeted by rain and high winds, especially on the high-scoring final day, Čejka prevailed over Pádraig Harrington in a playoff at Royal Porthcawl, to scoop the Senior Open Championship title.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.

Prince's Golf Club, Kent (UK)

Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.

The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
