The LSH Auto Australia Golf Cup 2023 - National Final is being held at Barnbougle in Bridport, Tasmania.
It will be played over the two World Top 100 rated courses - Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm with the option to play the fun 14 hole short course Bougle Run.
Barnbougle Dunes
Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links is the creation of a small group of dreaming golfers who saw the potential to build the most amazing golf course on the small island of Tasmania a short jump from the mainland of Australia.
The golf course meanders through towering dunes and along the beach, where the roar of the ocean and a salty breeze embraces golfers, plotting their way around one of the world's most natural golf courses. Barnbougle Dunes is one of those escape from it all kind of places.
The golf course itself combines a series of subtle, short par 4 holes with some testing par 3 holes and only 3 par 5's on a course where the wind is an ever present factor.
One of the great features of the course is the variability in playing conditions depending on the time of day you are playing. The mornings tend to offer windless playing experiences with often crisp cloudless days whereas in the afternoon the wind tends to pick up and provides challenges on many of the closing holes.
Barnbougle Lost Farm
Barnbougle Lost Farm is a 20-hole Links Golf course designed and constructed by world renowned U.S golf course design company Coore & Crenshaw.
With a reputation for minimalistic course design and a philosophy that traditional, strategic golf is the most rewarding, head architect Bill Coore created the Lost Farm with the intention to complement the canvas provided by Mother Nature.
Lost Farm features 20 holes all of which are playable during any given round, whilst the layout of holes at Lost Farm also offer a more diverse routing compared to Barnbougle Dunes, with fairways that roll both along the coast and inland.
Boasting spectacular holes that wind along the coast, adjacent to the Forester River and inland towards the Tasmanian hinterland, Barnbougle Lost Farm is a breathtakingly beautiful golf course that is dramatically different and yet simultaneously complements both the surrounding landscape and Barnbougle Dunes.
Bougle Run
Designed by internationally acclaimed Golf Architect Bill Coore, Bougle Run’s 14 holes consist of 12 par-3’s and two par 4’s which sit on the tall, undulating coastal dunes between Lost Farm’s front and back 9.
The route, which includes some of the highest points of the entire Barnbougle complex, is set slightly back from the coastline, providing aerial-like views over the Lost Farm Course and Anderson’s Bay.
A fun, challenging addition to Barnbougle’s two world top 100 courses, Bougle Run is designed for golfers of all abilities and the perfect option to sate your golf appetite in just 90 minutes.
