Richmond Golf Club

About this course
Richmond Golf Club sits in the historic town of Richmond, approximately 25 kilometers northeast of Hobart in Tasmania's Coal River Valley. The course occupies gently rolling farmland characteristic of the region, with views across pastoral countryside toward distant ranges. The layout reflects the practical design sensibilities common to many Australian country clubs established in the mid-twentieth century, where routing follows natural contours and existing vegetation patterns shape play. The course measures around 5,500 meters from the back tees and plays as a par 72. Fairways wind through stands of eucalyptus and native scrub, with several holes incorporating the undulating terrain to create elevation changes and strategic interest. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, typically in the form of farm dams or drainage lines that have been integrated into the design. Greens are generally modest in size and protected by bunkers positioned to challenge approach shots from various angles. Richmond itself is one of Tasmania's oldest towns, known for its convict-era sandstone bridge and Georgian architecture. The golf club serves both local members and visitors exploring the region's heritage sites and vineyards. The clubhouse provides straightforward amenities and overlooks the course, offering a welcoming environment typical of regional Australian golf clubs where community and accessibility take precedence over formality.

Getting there
The journey to Richmond Golf Club begins at Hobart International Airport, a compact and efficient gateway just twenty-five minutes north by road. The drive northeast traces the Coal River Valley through Tasmania's oldest colonial landscapes, where sandstone convict-built bridges and Georgian cottages frame the approach to Richmond village - Australia's most intact Georgian town. The final turn off the Midland Highway delivers you into a pastoral tableau of grazing sheep and hedgerows, the clubhouse emerging quietly among the gum-studded farmland as if it has always belonged to this corner of Van Diemen's Land.
