Oversized golf-ball landmarks at the Hervey Bay Golf Driving Range, including a ball at the entrance and another prominent roadside ball.
Before you stop
Park at the attraction entrance rather than at the landmark itself.
Do not stop on Maryborough–Hervey Bay Road solely to photograph the separate roadside golf ball; use the driving-range entrance and normal customer parking.

FIELD GUIDE
The story
There are two of them, which is unusual – most businesses stop at one.
Recent specialist documentation describes two Big Golf Balls at the Hervey Bay Golf Driving Range: one at the entrance and another prominent roadside ball. Doubling up suggests either a deliberate strategy of catching traffic from two directions, or the accumulation that happens when a business likes an idea and repeats it.

WHAT TO EXPECT
A long-running pair of commercial Big Things at an active golf facility. The catalogue now uses the independently mapped entrance Big Golf Ball / driving-range site as the group anchor rather than the former approximate venue point; the second roadside ball remains part of the same listing.
ACCESS
The Hervey Bay Golf Driving Range has two oversized golf-ball landmarks. Brown Signs’ current mapped directions resolve to the entrance Big Golf Ball at -25.3042, 152.8074 and describe it as the safer ball to visit. The driving range remains open to walk-in visitors at 210–224 Scrub Hill Road. Navigate to the entrance landmark/range and use normal customer parking; do not stop beside the separate main-road ball.
