Notable holes include the 5th, 6th, and 7th, often cited among Australia's finest. The 5th hole, a 368-meter par-4, is renowned for its challenging dogleg left and well-guarded green. The 6th hole, a 367-meter par-4, demands precision with its uphill approach to an elevated green. The 7th, a picturesque par-3, requires an accurate tee shot to a green protected by deep bunkers.

Beyond the course, Newcastle Golf Club offers excellent facilities, including a full-length practice fairway, chipping and putting greens, a fully serviced pro shop, and clubhouse amenities. Ranked among Australia's top golf courses, it provides a memorable experience for both members and visiting golfers.

The Lakes Golf Club, established in 1928, is one of Australia's most prestigious private golf clubs. This iconic golf club is only 15 minutes from Sydney's CBD and has hosted some of the biggest tournaments.

Nestled in natural bushland, Launceston Golf Club proudly stands as Tasmania’s oldest 18-hole course—renowned both locally and interstate for its pristine facilities and challenging play. Meticulously maintained greens, clever bunker placements, and fairways flanked by towering eucalyptus trees create a scenic and strategic test for golfers of all levels. With blackwood and wattle trees scattered throughout the course, the serene landscape offers a surprising escape from the suburban bustle just beyond the treeline.

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.
