Tasmania's Premier Links Courses;
Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm
Lead Great Golf Courses of Australia Tourism Initiative
Hobart, Tasmania, Australia (February 15,2012): Tasmania's premier golf links,
Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm, have been selected for Tourism Australia's new
international golf marketing initiative, Great Golf Courses of Australia. This collaboration
between Australia's premier golf courses, Tourism Australia, Tourism Tasmania and the PGA of
Australia will globally position Tasmania as one of Australia's leading golfing destinations.
Rated in the Golf Magazine's 2011 World Top 100 list, the two Tasmanian golfing gems are
located on the state's north east coast near the small fishing village of Bridport.
Barnbougle Dunes:
Rated #41 in the World top 100, Barnbougle Dunes was opened in late 2004.
Designed by US architect Tom Doak and Australia's Michael Clayton, this challenging 18-hole
links course has been carved from the regions' foiling coastal dunes. These sandy soils create
perfect conditions for the fescue blend grass, which in true links style, extends from tee to green.
The course is best exemplified by both the outward and back nine holes, which are striking with
360 degree vistas ofthe course and dramatic coastline. Its par-71 design does not require brute
strength, but allows golfers to exert power to an advantage at certain points. Additional amenities
include a public clubhouse and cottage accommodation.
