Playing public golf in North West Coast

Golf along Tasmania's North West Coast is a study in contrasts: windswept links hugging the Bass Strait shoreline, gentler inland fairways framed by rolling farmland, and the occasional coastal panorama that pulls your eye from the ball. Every course listed here is public — pay-and-play, no membership required — so you can simply turn up, pay your green fee and tee off.

There's real quality on offer, too. Ulverstone and Burnie both draw consistent praise, while Stanley rewards you with the kind of setting that lingers long after the round. With 10 public courses to choose from, browse the full list and map below to plan your next visit.
