About the course
Riverside 9-hole parkland challenge in the heart of Circular Head
Smithton Golf Course is a public 9-hole parkland course operated by the Smithton Country Club in Smithton, Tasmania. The course is bordered by the Duck River along its eastern side and is noted as a challenge even for experienced golfers. On-site facilities include a clubhouse with restaurant/dining, and the bar area overlooks play on several holes.
This riverside parkland layout is regarded as a genuine test, with the Duck River framing the eastern edge and keeping golfers honest. Visitors consistently describe the course as well presented and in good condition, and it comes recommended for anyone who enjoys a relaxed round. Much of its reputation, though, rests on the welcome: reviewers repeatedly highlight the friendly people, the warm and recently refurbished clubhouse, and a sociable bar with attentive staff. With dining on hand and a community-minded country-club atmosphere, it leaves players with the impression of a welcoming, easygoing place to play and stay a while.
