About Barnbougle Dunes

Barnbougle Dunes is one of Australia’s premier links golf courses, located on Tasmania’s spectacular north-east coast near Bridport. Designed by acclaimed architects Tom Doak and Mike Clayton, the course opened in 2004 and has earned international recognition for its authentic links character, consistently ranking among the best golf courses in Australia and the world. Set across towering coastal dunes overlooking Bass Strait, the layout makes exceptional use of the natural landscape. Rolling fairways, rugged bunkering, native grasses and ever-changing coastal winds ensure that no two rounds are quite the same. Rather than relying on water hazards or dense tree lines, Barnbougle Dunes challenges golfers through strategic shot placement, creative ground play and thoughtful course management. Firm fairways and undulating greens reward players who can adapt to the conditions and embrace the traditional links style of golf. The course offers multiple tee options, making it enjoyable for golfers of varying abilities while still providing a stern test for accomplished players. Every hole has its own distinct personality, with several playing directly alongside the coastline and offering spectacular ocean views. The combination of dramatic scenery and world-class design creates a memorable golfing experience that attracts visitors from across Australia and overseas. Barnbougle Dunes forms part of the renowned Barnbougle golf destination alongside Lost Farm and the short course Bougle Run. Visitors can also enjoy on-site accommodation, dining facilities and practice areas, making it easy to experience everything the resort has to offer. Whether visiting for a single round or an extended golf getaway, Barnbougle Dunes delivers a genuine links experience that is widely regarded as one of the finest in the Southern Hemisphere.
