Not much needs to be said about
this golf course built amongst the towering sand dunes near Bridport on
Tasmania's north coast. The unique links course is already being hailed as
one of the worlds great links courses even before it's official opening.
The course belongs here and looks like it has been here 100 years.
Bridport is not just
about the golf courses. The area has an abundance of attractions for the
visitor. Fifteen or twenty minutes drive west is the home of Tasmania's
premium wineries. Bridport itself is a favourite summer holiday
destination for Tasmanians with the population increasing by 10,000 or
more. There are 2 hotels and another resort and a nine hole country golf
course. A newly completed walking trail follows the coastline past
several 'boutique' safe beaches. Extensive sand dunes continue west of
Barnbougle and are a very popular camping destination.
The major town in the
region is
Scottsdale with a major supermarket and a good shopping strip.
There are also several restaurants including the very popular Anabel's.
There is a very fine walk to Mount Stronach just east of Scottsdale. I
little further on towards the
Bay of Fires is a very fine walk to
Cuckoo Fall through pristine forest.
