Tea Tree Golf Course

Charming 9-hole parkland test where a winding creek shapes the round

Tea Tree Golf Course is a public, 9-hole parkland course in Pontville, Tasmania, established in 1929. Set in a semi-rural landscape about 30 minutes north of Hobart, it plays to a par of 69 across diverse terrain featuring a prominent hill and a creek that winds through the middle, with lightly wooded areas and fescue grass on the fairways and greens. Notable holes include the 6th, a par 4 with the creek running along the left, and the 10th, a roughly 200-metre par 3 regarded as the toughest on the course. The club offers restaurant/dining facilities.

Players consistently describe Tea Tree as a friendly, affordable country course that punches above its size. Its reputation rests on small, well-kept greens and tidy fairways that reward precise approach play, while the meandering creek and abundant out-of-bounds keep accuracy at a premium. Reviewers frequently highlight the welcoming members, easy parking and great value, noting the course suits beginners and seasoned golfers alike. The varied terrain and steep climbs draw plenty of comment, and the overall impression is of a charming, challenging layout in a scenic semi-rural setting. The main gripe raised is a lack of clear layout maps and tee markers, which can make navigation tricky for first-time visitors.
