tasmania golf tour 2026
The world is now discovering that this island is truly one of the most engaging and authentic places in the world. The contrasts of the landscape are enthralling – mountain ranges, wild rivers, glaciated peaks and pristine beaches.
And then there are the golf courses. Barnbougle hosts two truly links style golf courses that are ranked in the top 25 in the world, and you can play on them! There is also a brand new spectacular golf course, 7 Mile Beach, which we are including for the first time this year. We will spend 8 nights in Hobart, where besides the 4 rounds of golf, we will visit the Port Arthur Penal Colony. There will also be opportunity to visit the Museum of Old & New Art (MONA), a very impressive museum which will sure to be an experience. Then we move up to Launceston for another 6 nights and it’s from here that we play both the Lost Farm and The Dunes links courses at Barnbougle.
