About Our Team

Golf Course Veterinary Hospital has been offering outstanding animal care in Taree since early 1980s. Originally started by Bruce Young, then taken over by Colin Dry in 1990 who operated until 2020 when Paul Pitney took the reins. Paul is familiar to many animal owners in the area, having worked locally both in the late 1990s and since early 2015. 

We care for all kinds of companion animals and offer a wide range of services. Our dedicated and caring team of professionals offer a vast array of experience and expertise—making us the one of the longest operating veterinary hospitals in the local area. We offer a complete care portfolio. We look forward to welcoming your pet to our family.
