About the course
Seaside links golf in historic Stanley, with marram grass and maritime winds
Stanley Golf Course is a public 9-hole links course in Stanley, Tasmania, Australia, established in 1909. The course features tree and coastal grass lined fairways, a bunker and sand dam, opening with a par 5 where the right side is out of bounds into farming pasture, followed by four par 4's and four par 3's, each with its own name and character. Facilities include a putting green, pro shop, cart hire, club hire and parking.
This UK-style links layout asks for accuracy, as players must work the ball left and right to steer clear of the thick coastal marram grass, while the maritime winds can add an extra challenge from time to time. Visitors consistently describe the course as well kept, with greens that play remarkably smooth and fairways in good condition. Beyond the golf, the club enjoys a strong reputation for its warm, community feel, and reviewers frequently single out the friendly welcome and the famously sociable Friday nights at the clubhouse. With memorable coastal views and an affordable, relaxed atmosphere, it leaves a lasting impression on those who stop by.
