About the course

Pioneer Valley Golf Club is on Leichhardt Road at Mirani, in the Pioneer Valley about 38 kilometres west of Mackay. Volunteers with tractors cleared 21 hectares of cattle and forest country for the first nine holes, which opened on 25 March 1984. The professional at Mackay Golf Club at the time sketched that layout, now the back nine, on a beer coaster at the Mirani Hotel.

Brisbane designer David Burrup laid out a second nine around a 65-megalitre irrigation dam, opened in 1998. The club later bought neighbouring land for the two holes now numbered 1 and 9, which bring the round back past the clubhouse at the turn, and a 2005 federal grant paid for a pipeline carrying treated water from the Mirani treatment works to the dam for fairway irrigation.
