Barnbougle Dunes Golf
A game of golf can be enjoyed at the world-renowned Barnbougle Dunes Golf Course, just a short 5-minute drive from 116 Westwood!!!
Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links is a natural golf course, with natural contours of the land defining the way you play the game. Links golf courses do not disturb nature but enhance it.
The course has been highly rated since opening in 2005, recognised as Australia's number one public access course, and fifth-best course of any sort in Australia. Amazingly, Barnbougle Dunes is the first new Australian course to enter the World's Top 100 courses since rankings began, coming in at 49 after its first appraisal. And has since improved to be ranked the 35th best course in the world. The 4th best course built anywhere in the world for the past 70 years.

Barnbougle Lost Farm
Located on the north east coast of Tasmanian Barnbougle Lost Farm is situated adjacent to the Barnbougle Dunes Course on the wild and dramatic coastline of Anderson Bay.
Unlike a standard course, Lost Farm features a quirky 20 – holes - all of which are playable to golfers during a round - which is dispersed amongst the dunes and along the coastline. The routing of the course is diverse and offers an exciting challenge for golfers of all abilities.
Barnbougle Lost Farm is a course dramatically different from the standard Links Golf Course and yet through its 20-holes of sweeping fairways simultaneously complement both the surrounding landscape and the iconic game itself.
