IT has been branded tacky and bizarre, but Queensland mining magnate Clive Palmer says PGA fans are going to love watching elite golfers tee off next to a giant robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The eight-metre beast has already been erected at his Coolum Resort and the eccentric billionaire wants to bring in another 149 to create the world's biggest dinosaur park.

But Mr Palmer may have bitten off more than he can chew, with some members of the Sunshine Coast Council far from amused.

Councillor Russell Green says the life-size beasts will be in view of the resort's golf course, which hosts the PGA Tour each year.

He fears Queensland's premier golf resort will become a running joke.

"You'll putt down the fairway, bounce the ball off T-Rex's left leg and get it into the 18th hole," Mr Green told ABC Radio.

He warned Mr Palmer would have to seek permission from council to erect more than four dinosaurs, as that would change the intended use of the area.

"It's taking a premium resort surrounded by incredible natural beauty with a magnificent golf course and turning it into a theme park from the Happy Gilmore movie," Mr Green later told AAP.

PGA Australia chief executive Brian Thorburn said it wasn't something he'd envisaged for the course, but he does not believe golfers will be put off or distracted.

"It's getting a lot of attention for our championship and any publicity is good publicity," he told AAP.

"We're not going to die in a ditch over it."

Mr Palmer insists his prehistoric menagerie will be a fabulous drawcard that will thrill golfers and spectators alike.

Earlier this month, soon after accusing the LNP government of cooking Queensland's books, Mr Palmer dubbed his giant T-Rex Jeff.

It was apparently an aside to Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney, who has been engaged in a public war with Mr Palmer - a life member of the LNP now facing expulsion for criticising the government.

Under a photo of the dinosaur, Mr Palmer tweeted: "Meet 'Jeff' ... he's big, grumpy, has a wart on his bottom ... and going nowhere."
