Golf Courses

The nearby Bass Strait and sand dunes along with the weather conditions provide a course reminiscent of famed Scottish links. The undulating terrain, in harmony with the natural features of the land will ensure that you will remember time spent at Barwon Heads.

While not especially long, the Links will test golfers of all standards with cleverly positioned hazards, subtle slopes and greens, along with challenging tee positions. The wind ensures that the course rarely plays the same way twice in the one week.

Visitors are welcome (except during competition times), and the club often hosts open tournaments, including their 36‑hole Open events.

Water hazards, bunkers, and native trees offer strategic challenges on every hole.  After your round, relax at the air‑conditioned clubhouse, enjoy food and drinks at the Rusty Putter Bistro, or take in the sunset from the verandah bar overlooking the 18th green.

Huntingdale Golf Club is a private course open only to members and their guests. Opportunities are available for Interstate and Overseas golfers and members of reciprocal clubs on request.
Limited tee times are available for International and Interstate Guests who are Members of a registered golf club. All players must present a letter of introduction and handicap confirmation from their Home Club.

Wildlife is part of the action: kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and native birds share the terrain and may appear along your walk.  One particularly famous hole is the 535m Par‑5 22nd, known for its demanding length and tight lines.  The 13th is another standout — a classic downhill tee shot sweeping around forest to a green guarded by bunkers.

The greens are well‑maintained and subtly contoured — accurate approaches and good pace reading pay dividends. After your round, the clubhouse offers panoramic views, modern dining, and a warm atmosphere where you can relax, share stories of your round, and plan your next tee time.

Unlike the rugged coastal links that have defined Tasmania’s global golf reputation, the Championship Golf Course introduces a lush, tree-lined parklands style. Century-old oaks and native bushland frame the fairways. Stone bridges cross over creeks and lakes. Undulating greens and carefully placed bunkers demand precision and strategy. It’s a course that rewards thoughtful play and invites golfers to return again and again, each round revealing new challenges and opportunities.

The name, Championship Golf Course, is a tribute to Country Club Tasmania’s proud history. Originally opened in 1982, the course was designed by Australian golf legend Peter Thomson and architect Michael Wolveridge, and quickly earned a reputation for its blend of links and parkland styles. The new name honours that pedigree while reflecting the resort’s ambition to host elite tournaments and become a destination for serious golfers across Australia and beyond.

The facility boasts comprehensive amenities, including a shaded driving range, practice greens, a fully stocked pro shop, and a clubhouse with a bar and bistro offering alfresco dining. Additionally, Palmer Gold Coast offers function spaces like the Fairway Room and the Lakeview Room, catering to events such as weddings and corporate gatherings
