Bicheno Golf Club

About this course
Bicheno Golf Club sits on Tasmania's east coast in the small fishing and tourism town of Bicheno, approximately 185 kilometers northeast of Hobart. The course occupies coastal terrain along the Tasman Sea, where the layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and ocean views characteristic of Tasmania's shoreline golf venues. The region's temperate maritime climate and coastal exposure influence playing conditions throughout the year. The course operates with alternate tee configurations that allow for varied yardages and strategic options, a practical approach common among smaller regional clubs that serves both members and visitors of different skill levels. The routing works across rolling coastal topography, with several holes offering views of the surrounding coastline and nearby Douglas-Apsley National Park in the distance. Native coastal vegetation and the area's distinctive granite rock formations provide natural framing and hazards. Bicheno Golf Club functions as a community facility in a town with a permanent population of around 1,000 that swells significantly during summer tourist season. The club serves both local members and traveling golfers exploring Tasmania's east coast, which includes nearby attractions like the Bay of Fires and Freycinet National Park. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a coastal setting without the formality or infrastructure of larger resort facilities, reflecting the character of regional Tasmanian golf clubs that balance accessibility with the natural advantages of their coastal locations.
