Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links in Bridport, Tasmania, Australia
Photo by Justin Van Diepen; used with permission

Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links is located in northern Tasmania, Australia, near the town of Bridport. Since opening in 2004, the Tom Doak-and-Mike Clayton designed Barnbougle Dunes has racked up numerous honors. Built on the seashore of the Bass Strait, the dunes of the Barnbougle coastline roll down to tidal flats and farmland. And now, they have naturalistic golf holes snaking between them. The links plays 6,755 yards long.

Photo: The 14th tee. Justin Van Diepen: "As bleak as the landscape, so too your tee shot. 'Where to aim' is the question on everyone's lips. With the fairway running left to right diagonally away, the carry to the bunkers is at least 165 yards. The green for this par 5 is centre right, just below the horizon, and is protected by bunkers left and right."
