Tasmania Golf Club has cracked Australian Golf Digest’s Top 100 Courses, ranking 100th and becoming the state’s seventh course on the prestigious list.
The Cambridge club joins an impressive Tasmanian showing that continues to dominate the national rankings.
Cape Wickham sits in third place, while Barnbougle’s Dunes and Lost Farm came in at sixth and eighth respectively.
Seven Mile Beach narrowly missed the top 10 at 11th, with King Island’s Ocean Dunes Golf Course at 17th and Barnbougle’s Bougle Run at 67th.
Destination Southern Tasmania chief executive Alex Heroys said the state now has a premium golf circuit that is driving tourism.
“Golfers come to the state and travel around it, spend in regional communities, go to different courses and bring their family and friends,” Heroys said.
Tasmania Golf Club secretary Gerard Hanks said the Top 100 listing is a significant achievement.
“This recognition reflects the club’s continued growth, investment, and commitment to delivering one of Australia’s premier golfing experiences,” Hanks said.
“It highlights Tasmania’s standing among the nation’s leading courses and acknowledges the unique qualities that continue to attract members, visitors and golfing enthusiasts from across Tasmania and interstate.”
Hanks said the rankings assess courses against criteria including shot options, challenge, layout variety, distinctiveness, character, conditioning and aesthetics.
He said a defining strength of the club is its strategic course design and variety of shot-making opportunities.
“The course rewards thoughtful golf, creativity, and precision, with players required to continually adapt to changing wind conditions, varying hole shapes, and diverse green complexes,” Hanks said.
Hanks also pointed to the club’s commitment to developing junior golfers through coaching clinics, competitions and development pathways.
“This investment in junior golf reflects the club’s broader vision, creating not only a successful golf course, but a thriving golfing community,” he said.
