Peaksy Goes to Tasmania


Peaksy68

Recommended Posts

Today is the start of an epic golf trip. Fancy charter flight from Melbourne is the start of it. Landing on course at Barnbougle to play Lost Farm (world ranking 70) Stay on site then play Barnbougle Dunes (WR30) Stay on site again then fly to King Island . 5 minute transfer to Ocean Dunes (Aus Ranking 13) Drive up to Cape Wickham for the night before playing the next day (WR55)

I’ll try to keep updated on the go, but reception is a bit spotty and I may be having too much fun. Hopefully I don’t forget to take lots of photos like last time on King Island.

I hope you bought a external hard drive for all the photos you will take! 

Have a great time and enjoy the golf and scenery! A dream trip that I could only with to do.

Because of this thread I went and rewatched season 1 of NLU tourist sauce... As soon as these kids are old enough I am making it a go for it!

A quick update. Lost Farm was great. 3 under after 5, turned 1 over with a triple. Back 9 was a struggle. Blaming the 3.50am start😅

@Peaksy68We played both Barnboogle and all 20 holes at Lost Farm 6 years ago. My wife and I have great memories of both courses. We stayed on the Barnboogle side in the cottages. We wish we could have extended our stay and take the ferry over to King island.

For those planning on a Tassie trip, book one of these 2 bedroom cottages - then sit on the front porch in the evening and watch the kangaroos as they jump out of the tall fescue.

As Peaksy knows, you have to be a good bunker player to score well on these courses. This fairway bunker was just over 10' and the only way out was sideways.

Day 2.

Played Barnbougle Dunes in the morning, truly magnificent golf course. The flow of the holes is great, conditions was excellent. Green complexes stunning. Rough start, 11 over on the front 9. Reversed day 1 performance and came home in 1 over, including a double

Day  2 pm

Bougle Run Short Course

14 holes, 12 par 3, 2 par 4. Holes range from 95 yards to 340

Probably the most fun you can have on a golf trip. Well designed holes that make the most of some great terrain. 
 

Played 6 man skins. Managed to win 8 skins of the 22 that went off👍👍

These you don't want to get anywhere near - they primarily eat road kill but will make an exception for you Kenny 😬

Love the course - where is it located. Also is Iron Pot on your list - 'that's the new course in South Arm, just down the road from my daughter's place in Sanford.

Bougle Run is up in the dunes at the end of Lost Farm, great piece of land for it. Stayed up north, looking at going back to Tassie early next year, might get to Iron Pot then

Day 3 King Island

Ocean Dunes

Second trip here, still stunning. Tougher day with the wind getting up. Shot about 16 over playing off 8, not too bad in the conditions

10th hole. Was playing 190 yards to the pin. 6 iron 30 feet past the pin. Straight down wind, normal 6 iron is about 160

Great course that gets overshadowed by it’s neighbour up the road. A must play if you go to King Island

One other comment - when we played Barnboogle - my rental clubs were brand new Titleist. Maybe because I was a lefty? Not sure but the Pro shop was definitely first class.
