Best public golf courses in Tasmania: a region-by-region guide

Tasmania packs an extraordinary variety of golf into a compact island: coastal links, island courses, historic country layouts and established city clubs. Use this guide and the interactive Tasmania golf courses map above to compare the main regions, then plan the transport and timing that connect them.

Barnbougle and north-east Tasmania

Barnbougle Dunes, Lost Farm and Bougle Run make Bridport a natural anchor for a Tasmania golf trip. The resort courses are public access, but popular tee times and accommodation should be planned well ahead.

King Island golf courses

Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes pair dramatic coastal golf with an island itinerary. Flights, luggage limits, tee times and on-island transport need to work together, particularly for larger groups.

Hobart and southern Tasmania

Seven Mile Beach has strengthened the public golf offering near Hobart, alongside Royal Hobart, Tasmania Golf Club and Kingston Beach. Access conditions differ between public courses and member clubs, so confirm visitor arrangements before finalising the day.

Launceston and the Central Highlands

Launceston Golf Club and Country Club Tasmania can be combined with northern touring, while Ratho Farm at Bothwell adds a distinctive heritage experience between north and south. Check current access and course conditions when building the route.

Planning the journey

Building a practical Tasmania golf itinerary

The island looks small on a map, but successful golf travel depends on realistic driving times, flight schedules, accommodation and room for every golf bag. A private itinerary can connect Launceston Airport, Barnbougle, Hobart and regional courses without relying on separate transport suppliers.

  • Secure priority tee times and accommodation first
  • Allow sensible travel time between golf regions
  • Match vehicle and trailer capacity to the full group
  • Plan airport transfers around actual flight times
  • Add rest, produce or sightseeing time where practical
