About the course
Links golf on dramatic Barilla Bay headlands, just minutes from Hobart
Tasmania Golf Club is a private 18-hole links course at Barilla Bay in Tasmania, Australia, playing to a par of 72 over 6,107 metres. Designed by Al Howard and established in 1971, the course is set on headlands with views across Pittwater, Five Mile Beach, Barilla Bay, Coal River Valley and Mount Wellington. It features tree-lined fairways, around 50 mapped bunkers and generous, sloping greens, with notable holes including the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and clubhouse, cart and club hire, coaching, and parking.
Players consistently describe Tasmania Golf Club as a scenic, top-tier test, with its exposed headland setting and ocean panoramas drawing as much praise as the golf itself. The layout is widely regarded as demanding and expertly routed, punishing wayward shots into the rough while rewarding precise, thoughtful play. Reviewers frequently single out the fast, challenging greens and the influence of the wind, which keep good scores hard-won. There's also a strong sense of welcome here, with visitors highlighting friendly, professional staff in both the pro shop and the restaurant, plus a convenient location only a short drive from Hobart. The combination of memorable holes and standout views — especially as the light fades over the bay — leaves a lasting impression on those who play.

Thick trees on left make it difficult to see green. Uphill grade to green can be deceptive. Two large bunkers on right. Green can be deceptively misleading if putting uphill.
