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.
