Lost Farm Course
Bridport, Tasmania, AU
Lost Farm occupies a dramatic stretch of coastal land on Tasmania's northeast coast near Bridport, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and opened in 2010. The course sits on the same property as Barnbougle Dunes, which opened a few years earlier, and together they form one of the Southern Hemisphere's most significant golf destinations. The routing takes advantage of natural duneland that runs along Bass Strait, with holes moving through valleys and over ridges shaped by wind and time rather than heavy earthmoving. The design philosophy emphasizes strategic options and ground game possibilities, consistent with Coore and Crenshaw's minimalist approach. Fairways are generous in width but feature internal contours that reward precise positioning, and greens are large with subtle breaks that become more apparent with repeated play. The coastal holes along the water provide the most dramatic views and wind exposure, while inland sections move through lower-lying dune corridors and native vegetation. Lost Farm is known for its twenty holes rather than the traditional eighteen, with two additional short par-threes that allow for varied routing configurations. The course operates as part of the Barnbougle resort, which attracts golfers from Australia and internationally who make the journey to Tasmania specifically for links golf. The property's remote location and walking-focused culture contribute to an experience centered on the golf itself rather than extensive amenities, though comfortable lodging and dining are available on site.
The journey to Links Golf Resort begins at Launceston Airport, Tasmania's primary gateway, roughly two hours northwest by road through the island's pastoral midlands and coastal fringe. Those arriving by private aircraft may land at Wynyard Airport, trimming the drive to under an hour along the Bass Highway as it hugs the rugged northern coast. The final stretch peels away from the main route toward Bridport, winding through quiet farmland and coastal heath until the Bass Strait opens wide and windswept - a fitting threshold to one of the world's most remote and uncompromising golf experiences, perched on the very edge of the Tasman Sea.
