We came here for breakfast and dinner.Nivce ambience. Food is alright. Only have 2-3 waiters. they have to take care the front bar counter and service the diner. Sometime you find difficult to locate them.
This golf course is fantastic not to hard if you play of the correct tees until the winds blow then the teeth of the course comes into play if I lived in Tasmania I would play this course once a month.Restaurant was good value had breakfast lunch and dinner and enjoyed every meal
Played here after too many years of "gonna". Late 40's myself, took a younger brother and the old man (75). Dad had been a single handicapper in his prime... a feat that has easily eluded me and the Bro. Prelude is that the old man had had a number of health issues over 5 years and first chance to get him back on the track.Phoned ahead to get a cart for him, walking the 18 not an option. And that's where we struck gold with being assigned Stan as our caddy.Able bodied or not... ask for Stan before he really, really retires ! The bloke is GOLD.
Barnbougle and Lost Farm surely rate in the top echelon of golf courses and especially golf links. They are both quintessential links courses; beach views are common and a wayward ball can be found by searching on the beach! At about $110 they are well priced on the world golf scene; equivalent courses in USA and UK cost about $300-$600! The accommodation is good to excellent, and the food and outlook at Lost Farm in particular are stunning.
World-class course architects left behind a couple of amazing golfing experiences.I've been fortunate to have played both the Dunes and Lost Farm several times now over the past few years - and everytime come away thinking that the condition of the courses (Dunes more so than Lost Farm) is below par. My most recent visit last week leaves me commenting that I've never seen greens on an elite course in worse condition.I'm not convinced the type of grass used on the greens will ever do justice to the layout.
I don't think I've ever been so pumped for a round of golf in my life and the dunes didn't disappoint. We flew into launie airport and hired a car to get up there. The drive took a bit over hour and a half but it was a pleasant drive through the country. I have to admit I was expecting to arrive to a packed car park and having to wait around until our exact tee time. When we arrive at about 10am there were about 10 other cars. We went to the club rooms and were told we could hit off whenever we liked. There was no arrogance about the place like you find at majority of melbournes sandbelt and peninsula courses which just added to the experience. The course was amazing. Fairways were immac. Bunker were massive and everywhere. And if you go in the rough don't bother looking, take advantage of the local rule "Irish drop" and keep enjoying your round. Two pieces of advice take at least a box of ball and don't stay at the on course accommodation. If you really need to stay on course stay at lost farm at least they have a sports bar. We stayed in launie, the drive to and from wasn't bad and it was a half decent night out.
This course has really matured and is now a great links course and can be truly compared with the famous courses in Ireland and Scotland. It is a great test of golf for all levels of players.
Been here a few times and never disappointed. Accommodation on site is very goos as is the restaurant/bar. Course is exceptional. Always options with shots, but plenty of areas that you do want to go. Some of the bunkers are unbelievable. Very well maintained and when the wind blow the greens canbecome very difficult. Well worth the trip for any golfer.
A visual feast. Nice accommodation in the cabins. Lots of wallabies. Course delightful but beware the wind!Only had breakfast at the clubhouse restaurant. Great bacon.
A great place to stay and relax and enjoy some golf and a walk along the beaches. The views from the course are spectacular as too from the Clubhouse at Lost Farm. Golf can be enjoyable for the long straight hitters. Rough is brutal and the course really challenges your ability.
