Golf Courses

Play four of the most pristine and remote golf courses in Australia

Featured
OCEAN DUNES
OCEAN DUNES

Ocean Dunes incorporates a challenging 18-hole course, set amidst rolling dunes, and features unsurpassed views along two kilometres of majestic, King Island coastline – land made for golf, and reminiscent of the links of Scotland and Ireland. With 360-degree ocean views on nearly every hole, highlights include two spectacular par 3's that cross the surging ocean, plus a number of exciting, risk-and-reward, short par 4's. The 'inland' holes follow the coastal creek that flows through the course.

Location: Currie, King Island

CAPE WICKHAM
CAPE WICKHAM

Designed by renowned US golf architect, Mike DeVries, Cape Wickham sits on a magnificent piece of coastal land at the far North Western tip of King Island, in the windswept waters of Bass Strait. The course is gently undulating and interspersed with giant sand dunes and ridges, and has already captured the attention of international golf writers, with one recent review commenting... “Add jaw-dropping vistas into the mix and, for golfing purists, this surely ranks among the most important courses to have opened in living memory.“

Location: Cape Wickham, King Island

BARNBOUGLE DUNES
BARNBOUGLE DUNES

Rated the #2 Golf Course in Australia by Australian Golf Magazine (2013) and #11 in the World by U.S. Golf Digest, Barnbougle Dunes, is a links course unlike any other in Australia, or the world. The elder of the two courses at Barnbougle, The Dunes is a spectacular example of traditional links golf that meanders along Tasmania’s dramatic North East coast – it’s where breathtaking scenery and thrilling golf truly come together.

Location: Bridport, Tasmania

BARNBOUGLE LOST FARM
BARNBOUGLE LOST FARM

Just a short pitching wedge across the river from The Dunes, lies Barnbougle’s second golf course – Lost Farm. Despite Lost Farm’s close proximity to The Dunes, it is remarkably different, featuring 20 holes that wind along the coast and through the coastal dunes. Ranked as the #2 public course in Australia by Golf Australia Magazine, and #23 in the World by US Golf Digest, the Lost Farm course is an exciting challenge for golfers of all levels of experience.

Location: Bridport, Tasmania

King Island is anchored in the middle of the Bass Strait between the southeast coast of Victoria and Tasmania’s northwest coast. Skirted by some of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, King Island is a magnet for the world’s best surfers and is home to produce sought by the world’s top chefs. Succulent beef, rich gourmet cheese, and crayfish plucked from the Island’s crystal clear waters are just three of the delicacies you can enjoy on your visit. While the prospect of unwinding in this quiet, peaceful paradise may be what attracts our visitors, it is the people they meet while here who encourage their return.

Tasmania, an isolated island state off Australia’s south coast, is known for its vast, rugged wilderness areas, largely protected within parks and reserves. Home to just 500,000 people, it is as intimate as it is beautiful. Its gorgeous capital city, Hobart, is home to one of the world's most intriguing art galleries, Museum of New and Old Art (MONA), while northern Launceston is one of the few cities on the planet to be wrapped around a gorge. Drive anywhere in the island state and you can go from beach-lined coasts to World Heritage-listed mountain areas in just a few hours. Along the way you'll pass welcoming farm-gate producers, cellar doors and restaurants specialising in local produce so fresh it's the envy of the culinary world.
