Tasmania has quietly become one of the most talked-about golf destinations in the world. International golf media regularly rank Barnbougle among the best courses on the planet, and a steady stream of travelling golfers now build entire holidays around the state's links. Legends of Tasmania: Golf, History & Flavour was built for exactly that traveller - someone who wants to experience Tasmania's golf reputation properly, not just tick off a round, but understand why people fly across the world to tee off here.
This is a premium, small-group journey run over four days and four nights, and it is deliberately built around more than golf alone. Between rounds, guests move through colonial villages, historic pubs, a landmark brewery and two of the state's best-known resort properties - all woven together so the trip reads as a proper Tasmanian holiday with golf as its spine, rather than a golf trip with sightseeing squeezed in around the edges.
Why Tasmania, and Why This Tour
Tasmania's golf courses sit on land that most countries simply do not have left to build on - wild, undulating dune country along the north coast, and quiet, historic farmland further south. That landscape is what gives Tasmanian golf its character: courses that move with the terrain rather than being carved flat against it, and a sense of isolation and scale that is hard to find on mainland courses.
Legends of Tasmania takes advantage of that by combining courses from opposite ends of the state's golfing story - the modern, internationally ranked links at Barnbougle, and the quiet colonial-era course at Ratho Farm, one of the oldest golf courses in the country. Add in a coastal finale and a parkland round in Launceston, and the itinerary covers a genuinely broad cross-section of what Tasmanian golf actually offers.
The Courses
Over the four days, the group plays Lost Farm and Bougle Run at Barnbougle, Ratho Farm, Seven Mile Beach, and Launceston Parklands. Lost Farm and Bougle Run are the pair that put Barnbougle on the world stage - dramatic dune-land links with the kind of ocean views and undulating fairways that regularly land them on global top-100 lists.
Ratho Farm offers a completely different experience: a historic course laid out on working farmland, with a sense of scale and quiet that stands in deliberate contrast to Barnbougle's more dramatic scenery. Seven Mile Beach brings the trip to a coastal finish close to Hobart, while Launceston Parklands rounds out the itinerary with an accessible, well-maintained round in the state's north.
Where You'll Stay
Accommodation is split between two of Tasmania's best-known resort properties. The first two nights are spent at Country Club Tasmania in Launceston, a resort property with its own casino, entertainment and dining options - a genuine base to relax in after a day on the course, not just a bed to sleep in. The remaining two nights are at Wrest Point in Hobart, another landmark Tasmanian property with harbour views, its own casino and a range of dining options within easy reach.
Both properties are chosen specifically because they can comfortably absorb a group after a full day of golf - proper dining, a bar, and enough going on in the evening that the day does not simply end when the round does.
More Than Just Golf
What sets this tour apart from a standard golf package is everything built in around the golf itself. The itinerary includes a stop at Cascade Brewery, Tasmania's oldest and one of the most recognisable names in Australian beer, along with colonial villages and heritage trails that give the trip a genuine sense of place.
It is a golf holiday designed for travellers who want their trip to include comfort, storytelling, scenery and memorable hospitality - not just four good rounds of golf. The pacing reflects that: no single day is built purely around a tee time, and there is always something to see or taste on either side of the round.
A Day-by-Day Look
Thursday begins with arrival into Launceston and a transfer to Country Club Tasmania. After check-in, the group comes together for a relaxed welcome event at Topgolf, with drinks, casual hospitality and pizza before dinner - a low-key way to start the trip and let everyone get to know each other before the golf begins in earnest.
Friday is Barnbougle day - Lost Farm and Bougle Run, the two courses most golfers have specifically come to Tasmania to play. Saturday shifts focus to Launceston golf and colonial Tasmania, travelling from the historic village of Ross through to Hobart, swapping golf for a slower, more scenic day on the road.
Sunday returns to golf with Ratho Farm's colonial-era course, followed by a brewery and heritage trail that closes out the day on a more relaxed note. Monday brings the trip to its coastal finale at Seven Mile Beach, with a stop at Barilla Bay along the way before guests depart.
What's Included
- Accommodation - four nights premium accommodation, split two nights at Country Club Tasmania, Launceston, and two nights at Wrest Point, Hobart.
- Golf - green fees and access across all five courses in the itinerary.
- Touring & Transfers - transport between venues and accommodation for the full four days.
- Food & Drink - hospitality built into the itinerary, from the Topgolf welcome event through to the brewery and heritage trail stops.
Make It Your Own
Every group is different, so the tour can be tailored with a range of optional extras: daily breakfast, a welcome drinks package, dinner inclusions at Wrest Point and Country Club Tasmania, golf cart or club hire, wine, whisky or brewery upgrade experiences, a private airport lounge or premium arrival option, or additional touring in Hobart or Launceston either side of the four days.
This flexibility is particularly useful for corporate groups, golf club trips, or milestone celebrations where the group wants a slightly different shape to the standard itinerary - more time in one city, an extra dinner inclusion, or a private arrival experience to start the trip off properly.
Who This Tour Suits
Legends of Tasmania is built for small groups of golfers who want their golf trip to double as a genuine Tasmanian holiday - couples, golf club groups, corporate incentive trips, and friends planning a golf-focused getaway. Because the pace includes rest days built around touring rather than golf, it also suits groups with a mix of golfing ability and interest, since there is always something worthwhile happening off the course as well as on it.
