Tasmania Golf Club: located just 15 minutes east of Hobart CBD and 2 minutes from Hobart Airport, this scenic course is bounded by water on three sides. The setting is picturesque Barilla Bluff, with the course jutting out into a spectacular natural harbour (Pitt Water).
This challenging, undulating course is characterised by tightish, tree-lined fairways, that lead you to well bunkered, breaking greens. Towering eucalyptus are among many tree varieties that provide good, but not overly dense separation to the holes. More of a shot-makers course than a utopia for wayward big-hitters, as the steep, downhill, short par-4 1st will underline.
You won't have to wait long to play one of the most spectacular golf holes in all of Australia. Played from an elevated harbour-side tee to an elegantly right-to-left doglegging fairway, the par-5 3rd is perched above the tree-lined bluffs and hugs the harbour's scenic shoreline from tee-to-green.
On the also immensely scenic back-nine, the 11th hole steals the show; this downhill par-3 is played to a glorious backdrop provided by the harbour and on your left, Barilla Bay.
Always challenging thanks to several pronounced elevation changes and the general tightness of the fairways, but also fabulously scenic throughout, with Pitt Water and more distant hills providing many wonderful views from the course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Visitors generally restricted to overseas and interstate golf club members; limited opportunities for local golfers.
Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire.

Tasmania Golf Club occupies a promontory of land which juts out into Pitt Water, a natural harbour and river estuary (for the Coal River and other rivulets). Alongside the golf course is the famous Barilla Bay restaurant, specialising in Barilla Bay oysters and also overlooking the spectacular scenery of the bay.
The club has hosted many significant events including the Australian Amateur Championship and the Tasmanian Open.
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
