Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort

What Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort does

Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort is a privately-held, integrated hospitality and leisure resort located in Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1999 by developer Alan Starkey on a 103-hectare site between Noosa National Park and Lake Weyba, the resort operates as a comprehensive destination offering an 18-hole championship golf course, a full-service day spa with thermal suite, self-contained one- and two-bedroom apartment accommodation, an on-site restaurant (Relish), a fitness centre with a 25-metre heated pool, a four-court tennis centre, and event venues for weddings and corporate functions. It is operated by Noosa Springs Investment Pty Limited (ACN 162 987 957) and currently employs more than 120 team members, having grown from the original opening team of 21.

The business operates on a diversified, direct-to-consumer revenue model across seven primary streams: golf operations (green fees, cart hire, lessons through the Dom Azzopardi Golf Academy, and merchandise), spa services, accommodation bookings, dining at Relish Restaurant, fitness memberships and personal training, events and functions, and gift vouchers valid for three years. Pricing is tiered per service — accommodation ranges from A$389–A$429 per night, golf vouchers from A$89–A$160, spa treatments from A$75–A$550, fitness memberships from A$21.50–A$29.50 per week, and wedding packages from A$135–A$175 per person. Distribution is primarily direct via the resort website, phone, and walk-in traffic, supplemented by third-party booking platforms (book-directonline.com for accommodation, nowbookit.com for restaurant reservations), an email newsletter, and a wedding-focused Instagram channel.

The resort targets both leisure travellers and local residents across multiple segments including golf visitors and members, spa and wellness day visitors, wedding couples, corporate and conference clients, fitness members, accommodation guests, and dining guests. The resort is open to the public every day and does not require membership for access to most facilities. It holds several industry recognitions, including Australia's Top 100 Golf Courses 2024/25, three consecutive Best of Queensland Experience awards (2022–2024), and inclusion in the Great Golf Courses of Australia program as one of only two Queensland courses. The property is adjacent to the Noosa UNESCO Biosphere area and approximately three kilometres from Hastings Street and Noosa's beaches.
