Australia's oldest golf course.

Ratho Golf Course was great fun to play. Australia’s oldest golf club has some pretty quirky holes and some interesting design features including a Biarritz green on the 3rd hole. Leave your pretentious at home and enjoy the course for what it is, you won’t find many like this anywhere and well worth a visit at least once. It’s a must play for your golf enthusiast/nerd and the old fashioned hospitality is evident from start to finish.

This place is breathtaking from the drive in to some of the views a you make your way around the golf course. Although it is a little tiresome and difficult to get to with flights and transfers, the course is nothing short of spectacular from start to finish. The greenery is top class, and each hole provides its own challenges. It would be good to play a second round there after knowing where things were, blind tees and shots to greens that are left to the unknown the first time round. Be prepared for the wind, it was blustery the day we played but not horrific so made life a little more pleasant. The clubhouse and facilities are very primitive but don't let this judge your experience as the people in them were friendly and willing to assist with towels or umbrellas. A cart is not essential, but makes the day more enjoyable so book one as soon as you know you are playing there as there are not many of them. Take plenty of golf balls if you spray it as you don't find too many that go into the salt bushes, or off one of the cliffs into Bass Strait! Really good day out, take plenty of photos as there are some amazing views around the course, and book in a second round. Will definitely go back to this course as its easy to see how its rated so high on public access golf courses in Australia and the World.

The Royal Hobart Golf Club, 20 Regal Court, Seven Mile Beach Tasmania 7170 The club was founded in 1916 and the Royal Charter was conferred in 1925. Royal Hobart is recognised as Tasmania’s premier members’ Club and particular emphasis is placed on presenting the course in impeccable condition all year round. Original course designer, Vern Morcom, made best use of the natural sand base to construct over 80 fairway and greenside bunkers. These are a special feature of the course that adds an important dimension to how players of all levels approach their game. In 1997 a new course master plan was adopted to guide long term course improvements to ensure Royal Hobart continues to offer a challenging golfing experience for members and visitors alike. Subtle changes have since been introduced, but always conforming to the original design concept. The Royal Hobart Golf Club Bar and Resturant is opened to the public no membership required. Opened every Tuesday - Sunday. Golf 7 days a week.

Superb golf course in a fantastic location. Probably some of the best greens you will ever play on. The course has had a lot of trees removed in past couple of years due to sudden death from heat stress, so if you have played here before the experience will be a lot different. The Restaurant has an excellent menu and great service. Pro-shop is well stocked with three PGA professionals, always ready to help. Golf carts are available for hire at a reasonable price. Green fees are reasonable and members of other clubs are welcome to join competitions. With daylight saving in Tasmania it's easy to get a round in even if you tee off in the mid to late afternoon.

The Lost Farm is an amazing setup on the Barnbougle Golf Course. The most spectacular view in Tasmania without a doubt with sweeping ocean views and great shots of several holes on the links course. A must visit to any person touring Tasmania. Golf enthusiasts love it. Comes at a cost but when you get there you know why.

We drove up to possibly get some fruit as the roadside sign said fruit orchard. What a pleasant surprise as property is at the end of the road. The cafe did sell seasonal homegrown apples and veggies. The cakes were both some of the best gluten free options we have tasted. Light and tasty Can recommend the granny’s garden pot of tea with a dash raw honey Lovely chatting to the owners who are well versed in the mountain biking options in the area. Would recommend a stop for tea (or coffee ) and cake after trail riding at Flagstaff. ( lots out outside tables and benches with sun umbrellas for shady option )
