Welcome to the Fins & Fairways challenge, a tournament that combines two sports into one, hosted in the tropical paradise of Port Douglas, Queensland.

This is a two person tournament consisting of; better ball and aggregate stableford - so bring your golf buddy or register as a single and we'll pair you with a suitable single entrant.

Our day out on the reef is both beginner and experienced fisherman-friendly, we've partnered with a local experienced fishing operator who will be taking us out to the outer reefs for an experience to remember.

There's stunning trophies and prizes up for grabs with both daily & overall prizes being awarded for not only the golf but our day out on the reef as well.

The Fins & Fairways challenge is unique, social and incredible fun, the only question that remains is...are you up for the challenge?
