Boobyalla & Melaleuca Course
Bridport, Tasmania, AU
Boobyalla and Melaleuca are the two eighteen-hole courses at Barnbougle Lost Farm, the sister property to Barnbougle Dunes in Bridport, on Tasmania's remote northeastern coast. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and opened in 2010, Lost Farm occupies dramatic duneland along Anderson Bay, continuing the links golf experience that began with Tom Doak's neighboring Dunes course. The property features massive sand formations, native grasses, and coastal vegetation that give the courses their names—boobyalla and melaleuca are indigenous Tasmanian plants. The routing takes full advantage of the property's natural movement and coastal exposure, with holes running through valleys between towering dunes and along elevated ridges that offer views across Bass Strait. Coore and Crenshaw's design philosophy of minimal earthmoving is evident throughout, as fairways follow the land's existing contours and greens nestle into natural amphitheaters. The courses share the property's varied terrain, with some holes playing through intimate corridors and others opening to expansive ocean panoramas. Lost Farm operates as a single facility where golfers play both nines in different combinations depending on tee time and course rotation. The resort caters to traveling golfers seeking an immersive links experience in one of the world's more isolated golf destinations. Together with Barnbougle Dunes, the complex has established Tasmania as a significant destination for golfers drawn to authentic seaside conditions and minimalist design principles applied to exceptional natural terrain.
The journey to Links Golf Resort begins at Launceston Airport, Tasmania's primary gateway, roughly ninety minutes northwest along the Bass Highway before turning south toward the island's windswept northern coast. The drive traces the edge of Bass Strait, where rolling farmland gives way to coastal heath and the salt air thickens, before descending into Bridport - a fishing village turned quiet retreat where the Southern Ocean meets the mouth of the Brid River. The final approach delivers you to a remote headland where the resort sits in splendid isolation, framed by dunes and the kind of raw, linksland beauty that feels lifted whole from Scotland's far shores.
