North West Bay Golf Course

Scenic Tassie parkland with lush greens and a tougher back nine

North West Bay Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland course located in Margate, Tasmania, between Kingston and Margate. The public course offers a pro shop, restaurant and dining, a clubhouse, and both cart and club hire. It plays across multiple tee options with varying slope ratings.

This southern Tasmanian course is widely praised for its scenic surroundings and well-maintained, lush greens that putt fast and reward a careful read. Players often describe the front nine as a welcoming opener with wide fairways and lovely views, while the back nine ramps up the challenge with narrower, sloping fairways that demand tactical shot-making. Reviewers note the greens stay in strong condition even after coring, and that uphill, downhill and sidehill lies keep the round interesting. Many visitors mention the friendly welcome from locals and an enjoyable day out, though, as with much of Tasmania, you may meet four seasons in a single round. Overall it carries a reputation as a rewarding, character-filled parkland test best approached with patience.
