Tasmania - Lost Farm Found

This brand-new Tasmanian track, sister course of the much-heralded Barnbougle Dunes, has the potential to be a world beater, writes Paul Myers

There are many other great holes – the par-3 fourth and 15th that both play along the oceanfront are standouts. And the par-4 18th back to the clubhouse from an oceanside tee is as good a finishing hole as you’ll find.
At $A98 (approximately HK$740) or an all- day rate of $A130 (HK$985) for either course, Barnbougle Dunes and The Lost Farm are great value, and on-site accommodation is available from $A150 (HK$1,135) per person. But be warned: these are mandatory walking courses, without drink stations along the way. This is pure golf as the game was originally intended.

GETTING THERE
The nearby town of Bridport is 50 miles away from Launceston, the state capital and Tasmania's main gateway. Car hire is available from Launceston airport, but by far the quickest and most stylish way to get to The Lost Farm is by charter flight direct to the club's airstrip from Melbourne – Vortex Air (vortexair.com.au) fly direct from Moorabbin municipal airport (55 minutes). Launceston has direct flights from both Sydney and Melbourne.
