Playing public golf in Tasmania
Tasmania rewards the golfer who travels. From windswept coastal links to fairways tucked into the island's green interior, the courses here trade manicured uniformity for character shaped by weather, terrain and a fair measure of local pride. Best of all, these are public courses — pay-and-play, no membership required — so you can simply turn up, settle the green fee and tee off.
That mix runs from country gems like Campbell Town to the highland charm of Tarraleah, with fifty-seven public layouts scattered across the state. Browse the full list and map below to find a round near you, or plan a route that strings a few together.
