Richmond (Alternate Tees) Course
Richmond Golf Club

About this course
Richmond Golf Club sits in the Coal River Valley near the historic town of Richmond, about 25 kilometers northeast of Hobart in southern Tasmania. The course occupies gently rolling farmland characteristic of this agricultural region, with views across the valley toward the surrounding hills. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain, with fairways that follow the land's contours and several elevated tee positions that reveal the rural Tasmanian landscape. The club operates a single eighteen-hole course that can be played from alternate tee positions, offering different yardages and angles of approach to create variety for regular members. This arrangement is common among Australian country clubs, allowing the course to present fresh challenges without requiring a second full layout. The routing moves through open pastureland with scattered native trees, and the Coal River influences play on certain holes where it borders the property. Richmond itself is one of Tasmania's oldest towns, known for its convict-era sandstone bridge and colonial architecture. The golf club serves both the local community and visitors exploring the region's heritage sites and vineyards. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a peaceful rural setting, with the emphasis on accurate shot-making rather than dramatic design features. Playing conditions reflect Tasmania's temperate maritime climate, with firm turf during the drier summer months and softer, lusher conditions through winter and spring.

Getting there
The journey to Richmond Golf Club begins at Hobart International Airport, a compact and efficient gateway just thirty minutes north along the Tasman Highway. The drive northeast traces the Coal River Valley as it opens into pastoral countryside, the road rising gently past stone-walled paddocks and colonial sandstone ruins that speak to Tasmania's convict past. Richmond itself appears as if preserved in amber - Australia's oldest bridge still standing, Georgian architecture lining the main street - and the golf club sits quietly beyond the historic town center, where the landscape softens into rolling farmland beneath the distant silhouette of Mount Wellington.
