Burnie Golf Club

Challenging public parkland on Tasmania's North West Coast with immaculate greens

Burnie Golf Club is a private parkland course located at East Cam in Tasmania, Australia. The par-72 layout measures 5,966m from the men's tees and 5,022m from the women's tees, with six mapped bunkers and a mix of dog-legs, uphill holes and well-protected greens. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, and parking, plus a Foresight golf simulator. It is regarded as one of the most challenging tracks on the North West Coast, combining length, undulations, tight driving holes and tricky greens.

Players consistently single out the course conditioning here, with the greens repeatedly praised for being in expert nick and the fairways well maintained. The reputation is for a genuine test of golf — length, undulating terrain, plenty of out-of-bounds trouble and demanding two-tiered and sloping greens reward straight, thoughtful play. Beyond the golf, visitors describe a friendly, welcoming atmosphere driven by committed members, with the clubhouse and bar making it a great spot for a beer or wine and a relaxed social round. Several reviewers note it offers excellent value and that they happily return, finding the course seemingly better each time. Overall the impression is of an immaculately kept, characterful parkland layout with a warm community feel.
