7 Mile Beach: Tasmania's New Golf Oasis, Worthy of Global Attention

Tasmania, long celebrated for its pristine landscapes and unique wildlife, is now firmly establishing itself as one of the world's premier golf destinations. The opening of the new 7 Mile Beach Golf Course, located just ten minutes from Hobart Airport, adds another gem to the island's collection, forming an unparalleled trio for lovers of remote yet high-class golf, alongside legends like Barnbougle and the courses on King Island.

A Vision Brought to Life

The construction of 7 Mile Beach Golf Course was a project decades in the making, made possible by the meticulous work of renowned architects Mike Clayton, Mike DeVries, and Frank Pont, representing Clayton & DeVries Design. Their goal was to create a course that seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape, utilizing Tasmania's unique coastal dunes that form a crescent along the shoreline. The result has exceeded all expectations—the course appears as if it has always been part of this place, naturally emerging from the land rather than being artificially constructed.

Natural Beauty and Strategic Design

The 7 Mile Beach course embodies true links golf, where every shot demands a thoughtful approach to the constantly changing wind conditions and terrain. The designers skillfully utilized the vast expanse of land, allowing holes to be routed both north-south and east-west, providing a variety of playing situations and maximizing the use of natural elements. The rumpled terrain of the dunes, coastal vegetation, and proximity to the ocean create a captivating atmosphere for players of all skill levels. Special attention has been paid to the greens, many of which feature natural slopes and undulations, allowing golfers to "feed" balls towards the holes using the landscape's features, which adds excitement and strategic depth to the game.

Tasmania – A New Golf Mecca

With the public opening of 7 Mile Beach in December 2025, Tasmania solidifies its position on the global golf map. In combination with already acclaimed courses such as Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm, as well as Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes on King Island, 7 Mile Beach offers an unprecedented experience for those seeking adventure and high-quality golf in one of the planet's most picturesque corners.

Australian professional player Mat Goggin, who has been actively involved in the development of golf in Tasmania, expressed his joy at the realization of this project, which he describes as a dream come true. The course not only promises exciting golf but also offers excellent value: a round on the South Course costs approximately A$290 (about US$200), making it one of the most affordable among the world's premium links golf destinations.

7 Mile Beach Golf Course is not just a new course; it's the embodiment of a philosophy where nature and design mastery merge to create an unforgettable golf experience. It's a place where golfers from around the world aspire to play the purest form of the game amidst Tasmania's stunning natural beauty.
