Embark on the ultimate Tasmania and King Island golf adventure with this luxury 7-day package showcasing Barnbougle Dunes, Barnbougle Lost Farm, Ratho Farm, Ocean Dunes and Cape Wickham.
Tasmania and King Island are famous for their untouched wilderness, pristine coastline, fresh local produce and cool climate wines. The islands are also renowned for some of the most scenic and quirky golf courses in the country, if not the world: courses perched on the edge of dramatic cliffs, holes scattered through sand dunes, and others surrounded by paddocks dotted with grazing sheep. The courses you will visit have been named among Australia and the world’s best – and for obvious reason.
Commencing in Launceston, play 18 holes at the renowned Barnbougle The Dunes then follow it up with its sister course, Lost Farm. This legendary golfing destination is infamous for its thick Marram Grass, wide open fairways and exquisite hole layouts. With fresh Tasmanian air and the omnipresent echo of crashing waves, Barnbougle makes for an unforgettable challenge.
Next, head south to Ratho Farm, Australia’s oldest golf course and the oldest remaining outside of Scotland. Among the best preserved of all the world’s early golf courses, Ratho Farm is a time capsule: a blend of farming and recreation outside a small country town. Tee off from square putting greens and skirt the resident sheep busy maintaining the fairway. The Australasian Golf Museum is onsite and has an impressive collection of memorabilia.
Finally, board an all-inclusive flight to King Island, located off Tasmania’s northwest coast. Here, you will tee off on the world-famous Ocean Dunes and Cape Wickman golf courses, both of which have been designed in the Scottish links tradition. Named the 24th best in the world according to Golf Digest, Cape Wickman will undoubtedly be a highlight with stunning ocean vistas from every single hole on the course. Many golf courses have a standout hole but with Cape Wickman, every hole is a standout.
When you’re not on the golf course, indulge in Tasmania’s famous food and wine. Highlights include wine tasting in the Tamar Valley and cheese tasting on King Island as well as daily gourmet breakfasts and dinners. You will stay 6-nights’ in premium accommodation on a twin share basis. All transport – including flights to and from King Island – provided.
