Racecourse Details:

There are three race tracks, the grass training track, the cushion track which is 1760 metres with a home straight being 400 metres long and the grass track proper which is 1967 metres with a home straight being 400 metres long.

The Sunshine Coast Racecourse is regarded as one of the best in Australia. The track has long, open angled bends which give back markers a good opportunity to come from behind and win. Barrier draws are of least important at the 1300 and 1400 metre starts.

The club"s cushion racetrack, a $6 million investment, is an example of the importance of the Sunshine Coast Turf Club to the larger picture of racing in Queensland.

The cushion track provides an all-weather racing surface. It has provided a major boost to the Club's capacity and capability to provide high quality training and racing facilities despite the fairly high local rainfall

Nearby Racetracks include Doomben Racecourse, Eagle Farm Racecourse and Ipswich Racecourse.
