About this course

Claremont Golf Club sits in the northern suburbs of Hobart, occupying gently rolling terrain along the western shore of the Derwent River. The course was established in the early 1950s and has served as a central fixture of Tasmanian golf for decades. The layout takes advantage of the natural contours of the land, with several holes offering views across the river toward the city and Mount Wellington beyond. The routing moves through a mix of open and lightly treed areas, with fairways that follow the natural fall of the ground. The Derwent River comes into play on several holes, adding both visual interest and strategic consideration, particularly when wind conditions affect club selection and shot shaping. The course features a traditional parkland character common to Australian layouts of its era, with modest bunkering and greens that require careful reading. Claremont has hosted numerous Tasmanian state championships and regional amateur events over the years, serving as a competitive venue for the island's golfing community. The club maintains an active membership and functions as a welcoming facility for both regular players and visitors exploring Hobart's golf offerings. The clubhouse provides standard amenities and overlooks the course and river, reflecting the club's role as a community gathering place. The course remains a solid test of golf in the Hobart area, offering a straightforward layout that rewards accurate driving and sound course management without excessive length or artificial difficulty.

Getting there

The journey to Claremont Golf Club begins at Hobart International Airport, a compact gateway serving Australia's island state, followed by a brief fifteen-minute drive north along the Derwent River's western shore. The route traces the Brooker Highway before peeling off into the quiet residential enclave of Claremont, where suburban streets give way to the club's understated entrance - a pocket of manicured parkland tucked between the river and the foothills of kunanyi/Mount Wellington. For those arriving from mainland Australia, the flight into Hobart itself offers a dramatic descent over the Southern Ocean and the Tasman Peninsula, a fitting prelude to Tasmania's unhurried pace and this member-owned sanctuary just beyond the capital's reach.
