Longford Golf Course

A well-kept country 9-holer minutes from historic Longford

Longford Golf Course is a public parkland course in Longford, Tasmania, located about five minutes from the historic centre of Longford and twenty minutes from Launceston. The nine-hole layout includes a long par 5 second, several doglegs, and short par 3s, with water hazards, bunkers and out-of-bounds in play on a number of holes. Facilities include a pro shop and cart hire, and the course suits golfers of all levels.

This little country course enjoys a strong reputation, with visitors consistently praising its well-presented fairways and greens and the friendly, welcoming staff. Players note the generous, mostly straight fairways and forgiving rough that don't punish the wayward shot too harshly, while still offering enough challenge through its doglegs, water and bunkers to keep a round interesting. It is widely regarded as outstanding value and a worthwhile drive from Launceston, with a relaxed, family-friendly feel. The scenic country outlook and abundant birdlife add to its charm, and the course holds up well even after wet weather. Many reviewers describe it as a hidden gem they're keen to return to.
