Gateway to Northern Tasmania's Golf & Gourmet Trails
Launceston, Tasmania’s second-largest city, is a charming base for exploring northern Tasmania’s scenic golf courses, gourmet food scene, and historic riverfront. From inner-city rounds to nearby courses in the Tamar Valley and beyond, Launceston is perfect for travellers looking to blend relaxed regional golf with great wine, produce, and natural beauty.
Best Time to Visit?
Launceston enjoys its best golfing conditions between November and April, when the weather is warm and dry. Crisp autumn days and long summer evenings make this an ideal time to explore multiple courses — with fewer crowds than larger destinations.
TIP: Visit in February or March to enjoy mild weather, food and wine events, and top course conditions.
Travel & Transport
Launceston Airport offers direct flights from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and is just 15 minutes from the city centre. The region is ideal for a self-drive golf holiday, with top courses, wineries and attractions all within 1–2 hours’ reach.
TIP: Add car hire to your package and explore courses in Launceston, the Tamar Valley, and northward towards Barnbougle.
Booking Tee Times
Start your stay with a relaxed round at Launceston Golf Club, Tasmania’s oldest 18-hole course — featuring tree-lined fairways and a friendly clubhouse. For a more adventurous extension, drive north to Barnbougle Dunes or Lost Farm, both within 90 minutes and among the top golf experiences in the world.
TIP: Book Launceston GC for day-one warm-ups, then head to Barnbougle for your bucket-list rounds. Ask about multi-night stay-and-play packages.
