Two rounds at Barnbougle can anchor a short north-east Tasmania break without spending each day on the road. Use Bridport as a two-night base, keep the arrival afternoon flexible and build the return to Launceston around your second tee time.
Day 1: Launceston to Bridport
From Launceston city, Discover Tasmania puts the drive to Bridport at about an hour (77 km). Allow extra time from the airport for collecting luggage, picking up a car and making stops. If you arrive early, take the route through Pipers River for a lunch or cellar-door stop, subject to opening hours. The Bridport foreshore makes an easy alternative if you reach town later. Stay in Bridport or check on-course accommodation if you prefer to be close to the first tee.
Day 2: Play The Dunes and keep the afternoon flexible
Build the day around your confirmed Dunes tee time. If some of the group aren’t playing, they could explore a section of the Bridport Walking Track and meet the golfers in town afterwards. Agree on the meeting place and check how both groups will get there if you share one car. Reserve dinner if you want a set meeting time, and stay in the same accommodation for the second night.
Day 3: Lost Farm, then back to Launceston
Book Lost Farm early enough to leave time for the round, lunch, the drive and any airport commitments. Lost Farm has 20 playable holes, so avoid planning the day around a tight finish. If the tee time or flight leaves little room, spend a final night in Launceston and fly the following day. A stop in Scottsdale suits a leisurely return if you have time.
Book the pieces in the right order
- Check both tee times and accommodation together. Ask Barnbougle about current fees, equipment and any mobility arrangements before confirming dates.
- Check that the car can carry all passengers, clubs and luggage at once. Agree on a meeting point if golfers and non-golfers will split up.
- Leave a buffer between golf and onward travel. Check seasonal opening hours and make dining arrangements separately.
Shape the trip around your group
Tell us your arrival and departure windows, the number of golfers and non-golfers, the courses you want to play and where you’d like to stay. Explore our Tasmania self-drive itinerary planning if you’d like help shaping the route. If you’d prefer a driver for the airport or golf days, see our private Barnbougle transfers. This is a route example; accommodation, tee times and any additional services depend on your dates and agreed arrangements.
