Launceston Golf Course

Tasmania's oldest 18-hole parkland layout, immaculately kept in suburban Launceston

Launceston Golf Course is a private parkland course located in Punchbowl, Tasmania, Australia. The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 72 over 5,808 metres and is home to the oldest 18-hole course in the state. On-site facilities include a driving range and a pro shop. The course sits close to Launceston's airport and CBD, with strategically placed bunkers featuring throughout the layout.

Visitors and members alike consistently praise the course for its excellent conditioning, with reviewers regularly highlighting fast, true greens and well-maintained fairways. Strategically placed bunkering is often noted as a defining feature, offering a thoughtful challenge rather than relying on dramatic views or showpiece holes. The well-stocked pro shop and friendly playing groups add to the welcoming impression many golfers describe, and Tasmanian player discounts are appreciated by locals. Some visitors mention that on-course signposting between tees could be clearer, so picking up a course map beforehand can help newcomers find their way. Overall the reputation is of a reliably well-cared-for parkland layout that rewards solid ball-striking.
