For years, Tasmania was a hidden gem known only to the most adventurous golfers. Remote, wild, and windswept, the island seemed an unlikely candidate for world-class golf. And yet, in just two decades, Tasmania has risen to become one of the most talked-about golf destinations on the planet.

It all began with Barnbougle Dunes, a rugged links that felt as though it had been carved straight from the coastal dunes by nature itself. Its success put Tasmania on the global golf map, soon followed by the equally celebrated Lost Farm, a course designed to complement and challenge its neighbor. Together, the pair transformed a quiet corner of the island into a pilgrimage site for golfers.

The story didn’t stop there. Bougle Run, a short course brimming with fun and creativity, added a new dimension for relaxed afternoons and quick loops. Across the water on King Island, Cape Wickham Links arrived with jaw-dropping cliffside holes that rival the best anywhere in the world.

And now, the long-anticipated Seven Mile Beach has finally opened—ushering in a new chapter for Tasmanian golf. Set along a spectacular stretch of coastline, it has already drawn comparisons to the great links of Scotland and Ireland, cementing Tasmania’s reputation as golf’s newest frontier.

Tasmania isn’t just about golf—it’s about the journey. The island’s remoteness adds to its allure, making every round feel like a reward. Pair your golf with wild coastal hikes, artisan food, and evenings spent in cozy lodges, and you’ll understand why those who make the effort leave transformed.
