About this course
Tasmania Golf Club occupies a distinctive position in Australian golf as the oldest golf club in Tasmania, established in 1902. The course is located in the suburb of Barilla Bay, approximately fifteen kilometers from Hobart's city center, on a peninsula that extends into the Derwent River estuary. The layout takes advantage of this waterside setting, with several holes playing along the shoreline and offering views across the water toward Mount Wellington and the surrounding ranges. The course presents a traditional parkland character with mature trees framing many fairways, though the proximity to the estuary introduces coastal elements including wind that can significantly affect play. The routing makes use of the natural terrain, with gentle elevation changes and strategic bunkering that reflects the design principles of its era. Several holes play directly alongside the water, requiring accurate shot-making where the penalty for errant shots can be severe. Tasmania Golf Club has served as a regular host for state-level amateur competitions and has contributed to the development of golf in the region over more than a century. The club maintains a traditional membership culture typical of established Australian golf clubs, with an active playing community and facilities that include a clubhouse overlooking the course and estuary. The course remains a fixture in Tasmanian golf, balancing its historical significance with ongoing maintenance and modest updates to preserve playability while respecting the original design intent.
