Barnbougle Tasmania
Tasmania
Barnbougle Tasmania is a remote coastal golf resort near Bridport, offering three distinctive courses and a choice of on-site accommodation overlooking the dunes, beach and Bass Strait. For golfers travelling from the UK, it is the kind of destination that rewards a dedicated multi-night stay rather than a rushed single round.
The resort’s original course, The Dunes, was designed by Tom Doak and Mike Clayton. Its broad fairways, naturally contoured greens and shifting coastal winds encourage strategic, creative golf through the dunes beside Anderson Bay. Across the river, Coore & Crenshaw’s Lost Farm provides a contrasting 20-hole experience, moving between the coastline, steeper dunes and the Tasmanian hinterland.
Completing the collection is Bougle Run, Bill Coore’s 14-hole short course. Its twelve par threes and two par fours can usually be played in around 90 minutes, making it ideal for an arrival-day round, an evening game or additional golf after playing one of the main courses. Barnbougle is principally a walking venue; escorted buggies are normally reserved for golfers with a qualifying medical requirement.
Accommodation is spread across both sides of the resort. Options include the comfortable two-bedroom Dunes Cottages, four-bedroom Bunker Villas for larger groups, spacious two-bedroom Ocean Villas and hotel-style rooms at Lost Farm Lodge. This variety works particularly well for golf societies, couples and small groups seeking an immersive on-course stay.
Dining choices include the relaxed Dunes Clubhouse, the more refined Lost Farm Restaurant and the informal Lost Farm Sports Bar. Menus make good use of Tasmanian produce, while the coastal views provide a memorable setting for discussing the day’s golf. Lost Farm also has an on-site spa, providing welcome downtime for golfers and non-playing partners.
Barnbougle is approximately 90 minutes from Launceston Airport. Car hire or a pre-arranged transfer is recommended, particularly for international visitors carrying golf equipment.

About The Area
Bridport is a small coastal town on Tasmania’s northeast coast and serves as the gateway to one of the most celebrated golf destinations in the world. With sweeping views across Bass Strait, a relaxed seaside atmosphere and immediate access to world-class links courses, it has become a must-visit location for serious golfers.
Just minutes from the town centre lie Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm, two of the most highly regarded courses in the Southern Hemisphere. Barnbougle Dunes offers a traditional links experience, routed through natural dune systems with firm fairways, rugged bunkering and ever-present coastal winds shaping every shot. Lost Farm, its modern companion, provides wider fairways, larger greens and a slightly more forgiving layout, while still delivering the same dramatic ocean views and strategic challenge. Together, they form one of the finest two-course golf experiences anywhere in the world.
Golf in Bridport is defined by classic links conditions — firm underfoot, fast-running fairways and wind playing a key role throughout the round. The best time to visit is typically between October and April, when temperatures are milder and daylight hours are longer.
Off the course, Bridport offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle. Fresh seafood, local produce and relaxed dining options reflect the region’s character, while nearby beaches and walking trails provide simple but scenic ways to unwind. The surrounding area also offers fishing, boating and wildlife spotting, adding to the appeal.
For golfers seeking world-class links golf, dramatic coastal scenery and an authentic, no-frills golf trip focused purely on the game, Bridport delivers one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences in Australia.
