    Default Tas Jan to Feb 2022

    We have booked again. Hopefully Omicron doesn't **** this one up.

    Intending to play the course near Port Arthur early on Friday 28th.

    I am in Launceston Jan 29 to Feb 2 when we go to Hobart until the 6th.

    Will be looking to get to BD at least from Launy.

    Anyone want a hit during that time let me know.

    Omicron or the Qld/Tas government? I'd love to got to Tassie again, but as a golf trip, but I'm not ready to trust interstate travel yet.

    Well it is what the state governments do based on Omicron. Going to be hard to shut borders again now I think, but nothing would surprise me.

    Cape Wickham is number 1 and Ocean Dunes number 2 by along shot. The courses are brilliant in fantastic condition, the only let down with these 2 are the club houses. Cape wickham is like a white marquee tent but has everything in it and Ocean Dunes is like a portable site office.

    Cape Wickham, Ocean Dunes and Barnbougle courses all had Fescue greens which are very spongey.

    What does a clubhouse have to do with the quality of a course?
    Forum needs more banter.

    Nothing really, this was just the comments from a few in our group. Accomodation at Cape Wickham was good clean and tidy. All in all it was the best golf trip and cant wait to get back to King Island.

    Flying down soon. Planning on playing Tasman Friday morning. BD on the Sunday or Monday. Maybe an early round somewhere ends as well.

    Tasman golfclub. Nice little 10 hole golf course (8 and 17 are separate holes) set in an awesome location across from Port Arthur. Two tees as is normal for these courses, some of which are significantly different. Only had time for an early 9. Course is worth the $20 green fee just to see and play the 8th hole. 124m over some water. Pic of the 8th and 1st from the tees below.

    Barbougle Dunes today. First time. Loved it. Will return. Been enough reviews on here so I don't need to add to it. Might have to organise a trip and stay there to play the other 2 courses.

    You’d be silly not to. Lost Farm is more fun.

    I'd be in for that. I wouldn't say no to trying Dunes again either.

    When is the best time of year to go out is it generally a crap shoot? Might think about April next year.

    Theoretically, equinox in late March equals 12 hours of daylight.

    That should be enough for most OzGolfers to fit in 36 holes.

    Edit ... Sorry, I thought that was a question.

    A big group from Mackay went last year for the Bass Straight Masters. April 10-13

    Apparently the weather was disgusting. Cold, windy, heavy rain and hail storms in the middle of the day.

    Going to try and get onto Tasmania for Friday morning. Seems the most likely option.
