After breakfasting in Launceston, we drive north to
Bridport to experience another world class golfing
destination, Barnbougle. Barnbougle has three
courses and today we will play Barnbougle Dunes,
a Links Golf Course unlike any other in Australia.
Meandering along Tasmania’s dramatic Northeast
coast, it’s where breathtaking scenery and thrilling
golf truly come together. Fairways are wide,
wider than most golfers will have experienced on
traditional courses. The greens are lively; rolling with
the natural undulation of the dunes and with the
4th hole boasting the largest bunker in the southern
hemisphere, this course is designed to challenge.
After golf on the Dunes we will take the shuttle to
the Lost Farm Villas where we will stay for three
nights. The views from the restaurant at The Lodge
have a marvellous outlook over both the course and
the Bass Strait.

The Lost Farm golf course is remarkably different
to The Dunes. Lost Farm features 20 holes, all of
which are playable in any one round, and the course
layout tracks along the coast and inland amongst
sand dunes that are significantly steeper than those
featured at The Dunes. The strategic bunkering and
undulating greens combined with wide fairways
make for a course that offers an exciting challenge for
golfers of all abilities.
