For golfers who enjoy playing real links golf, Barnbougle Dunes is a place worth making the trek to. Designed by Tom Doak and Mike Clayton, the course stretches across the wild northeast coast of Tasmania, where towering sand dunes, rolling fairways, and coastal winds shape every shot. Often compared to the great links of Scotland and Ireland, the layout blends natural terrain with strategic design – wide fairways, firm fescue turf, deep revetted bunkers, and greens that invite imagination. Signature holes like the short par-4 4th and the dramatic par-3 7th showcase the variety and shot-making options. Every round seems daring due to the naturally difficult conditions, which are always of the highest caliber. Together with its sister course, Lost Farm, Barnbougle has earned a place among the world’s top 40 courses and is considered Australia’s finest golf destination.
