As a regular annual visitor to the Cairns Area for the reason of avoiding the cold southern winter,I spend quite a lot of time on the golf course.For the past ten or more years I have played in the regular Saturday and mid week competitions at Gordonvale golf club  15Km or so south of Cairns. It is an extremely friendly club and I have developed some strong friendships with many of the members. For a small annual fee I am able to take out a Grey Nomad Membership which entitles me to all member benefits for the period of my stay in the area.no crippling green fees as other local clubs request and a chance to play regular comp or social golf in a welcoming environment.So on your next extended stay in the warm north during the winter,and you enjoy your golf ,contact the club and see what they can offer you. Cheers  Ian.
