Paradise Palms Golf Course sits in the tropical lowlands near Clifton Beach, approximately twenty kilometers north of Cairns in Far North Queensland. Graham Marsh designed the course in the late 1980s, routing it through former sugarcane fields against a backdrop of rainforest-covered mountains. The layout takes advantage of the region's distinctive landscape, with the course bordered by dense tropical vegetation and offering views toward the Great Dividing Range. The design reflects Marsh's experience as a touring professional, incorporating strategic bunkering and water hazards that require thoughtful course management. Several holes play alongside or across lakes and wetlands that are characteristic of the coastal plain environment. The tropical setting means the course maintains year-round playing conditions, with couch grass fairways and bent grass greens that differ from the typical Queensland bermuda surfaces found farther south. Paradise Palms operates as part of a residential resort community and serves both visitors and local golfers in the Cairns region. The course has hosted various regional tournaments and qualifiers over the years. The property includes accommodation and dining facilities that cater to the area's tourism industry, with many golfers combining their rounds with access to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest attractions nearby. The course represents one of the few championship-length layouts in Australia's tropical north, providing a distinct alternative to the more temperate designs found in the country's southern population centers.
