One of Queensland’s finest thoroughbred racing and training facilities, the Sunshine Coast Turf Club at Corbould Park sits just minutes from the heart of Caloundra and less than an hour north of Brisbane, making it one of the most accessible and genuinely enjoyable days out on the Sunshine Coast calendar. With more than 65 annual race meets ranging from midweek twilight sessions under the lights to feature carnival days that draw the crowds from across the region, there is always a reason to come to Pierce Avenue.
The facilities are among the best in the state. Well-maintained grounds with plenty of undercover areas, trackside views that put you close enough to feel the thunder of the field coming down the straight, a Members Bar and Bistro for those who want a more considered dining experience and a full public area including the Furlong Cafe, Snack Bar, Public Bar and Can Bar for everyone else. On special occasions, pop-up bars and food trucks add to the atmosphere on course, and the parade ring gives you the rare opportunity to get genuinely close to the horses and jockeys before each race.
Beyond race days, the Turf Club has built a well-regarded reputation as a conference and events venue, hosting weddings in its picturesque gardens, corporate functions across its versatile spaces and black-tie gala evenings throughout the year. The combination of beautiful grounds, multiple venue spaces and the unique energy of a working racecourse makes it a distinctly Sunshine Coast backdrop for any occasion.
Children under 18 enter free on race days, making it a surprisingly family-friendly outing for the Caloundra community. Check the racing calendar at sctc.com.au for upcoming meets and events. Located at 170 Pierce Avenue, Caloundra.
