Tasmania Golf Club

Headland golf above Barilla Bay, where every round amazes and tests

Tasmania Golf Club is a private 18-hole headland course set on the shores of Barilla Bay near Hobart Airport in Tasmania, Australia. Designed by Al Howard and established in 1971, it plays to a par of 67 over 6,107 metres with around 50 mapped bunkers. Notable holes include the downhill par-3 2nd, which plays from an elevated tee to a green backed by the waters of Barilla Bay, and the long, demanding 5th, framed by out of bounds and dense trees. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and dining, clubhouse, cart and club hire, coaching and parking.

The course enjoys a strong reputation as a scenic and genuinely testing headland layout, with players consistently praising its dramatic coastal outlook over Barilla Bay and its memorable, view-laden tee boxes. Reviewers note that it is no pushover: the routing is exposed to wind, the rough punishes any stray shots, and the greens are frequently described as fast and challenging to read. Many highlight standout holes that both thrill and intimidate, and several mention how special the final stretch feels in late-afternoon light. Off the course, the welcoming staff in the pro shop and the restaurant draw regular praise, rounding out the experience. The overall impression is of a spectacular, strategic course best enjoyed by those happy to be tested.
