Makepeace Island on Queensland\u2019s Noosa River\u2026 must be a comfortable and relaxing spot there somewhere<\/p>\n Makepeace Island on Queensland\u2019s Noosa River\u2026 must be a comfortable and relaxing spot there somewhere<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to burn a considerable hole in your golfing holiday budget (perhaps for evermore), the just released \u2018The Makepeace Masters\u2019 could be absolutely perfect for a group of your friends or family.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the theatre, exclusivity and thrill of the world\u2019s most coveted golf tournaments, Queensland\u2019s Makepeace Island has unveiled The Makepeace Masters \u2013 a five-day luxury golf escape that delivers major tournament cachet without the ballots and the long-haul flights.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Designed for golfers who prefer to play rather than follow the field, the experience includes five rounds of championship golf across the Sunshine Coast\u2019s most respected courses, four nights of exclusive-use private island accommodation, luxury transfers, and all meals prepared by one of Australia\u2019s most acclaimed chefs.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The all-inclusive package is priced at\u2026 hiccup, hiccup\u2026 $92,000 for up to eight guests.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Makepeace Island General Manager Kate Gilbert says the idea was born after one of the retreat\u2019s owners staged his own version of a Masters-style tournament on the island.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe watched it unfold and thought, why isn\u2019t this an experience we offer?\u201d she says. \u201cGuests always talk about the iconic tournaments, but when you listen closely, it\u2019s not the crowds they are chasing, it\u2019s the thrill of playing and the stories that come with it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGolf comes up constantly here. Guests talk about the Masters Tournament and the Ryder Cup \u2013 about trying to secure tickets and about setting 2.00 am alarms to catch final round tee times on the big screen. But what they really seem to want isn\u2019t the spectacle. It\u2019s the hit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Master\u2019s Week that is played, not watched<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Securing tickets to the world\u2019s most coveted tournaments is notoriously difficult, and even then, the experience is about observing rather than playing.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the Makepeace Masters, guests can screen Augusta on the resort\u2019s big screen, then wake up and live their own tournament. There\u2019s no ballot, no crowds and no compromise. Just five days of great golf with good friends hosted by a team known for discreet ultra-high net worth hospitality.\u201d<\/p>\n
