Golf at the club: a new eighteen holes and a range that is already open
The original 1982 course has been rebuilt as a parkland championship layout by Robin Gibson; tee times are taken from December 2026. The Range — 28 heated bays and an 18-hole mini golf course — opened first.

Golf has been part of the property since it was built. The first course, laid out in 1982 by Peter Thomson and Mike Wolveridge, mixed links and parkland styling with large fairways, water hazards and fast greens. That course has closed for a complete redevelopment. The resort's current pages describe a $20 million transformation by the course architect Robin Gibson, keeping the centuries-old trees and the lake and adding stone bridges and some six kilometres of rocky streams, in a parkland cross-links style.

The back nine, hole by hole
The resort has published notes on holes 10 to 18. The names give a fair sense of the design, which is built around water and decisions between the safe line and the bold one.
| Hole | Name | Par | What the preview says |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Love Island | 4 | A tee shot over water; subtle contours around the green |
| 11 | The Horseshoe | — | A sweeping bend with a fairway bunker for the over-ambitious |
| 12 | Hidden Depths | 3 | Creeks, tall gums and wind; a green that hides more than it shows |
| 13 | Peninsula | 5 | Tee surrounded by water, a wide fairway, reachable in two by long hitters |
| 14 | Temptation | — | A creek off the tee and a 50 m putting surface |
| 15 | Crossroads | 5 | Risk and reward; white sand bunkers guard the green |
| 16 | The Gauntlet | 4 | Precision or power, with a deep grass-faced bunker |
| 17 | The Funnel | 3 | Downhill through rock walls and tall gums |
| 18 | Final Reckoning | — | Bunkers up the fairway and a waterfall beside a wide, shallow green |
Par is shown only where the preview states it. The front nine has not been described in the same detail.
The Range
The Range opened ahead of the course and received the Hospitality Tasmania award for Best Outdoor Hospitality Experience in 2025, according to the resort. It has 28 undercover, heated driving bays with Toptracer ball tracking, bookable for 30 to 120 minutes for one to six players, an 18-hole mini golf course designed by Richard Chamberlain, and the Clubhouse Bar & Restaurant.

Mini golf is listed from $17 for an adult round of 18 holes, with child, toddler, family and group prices; bays are priced by session length and peak or off-peak time. Coaching is not offered at The Range until further notice — the resort says it has been unavailable since 13 September 2026.
The golf-and-room package
For stays from 4 December 2026 to 30 April 2027 the resort offers accommodation at the Resort or the Villas with one eighteen-hole round per adult and a 15-minute warm-up at The Range (the resort calls it Stay & Play). The published terms matter: card details at booking, non-refundable prepayment once the tee time is confirmed, tee times finalised a month before arrival, carts subject to availability, at least eighteen holes made available with some played twice if conditions require, and no more than eight rooms per transaction. A request through this site can ask the desk to price the package against a room-only rate.
Rooms on the course side are the Golf Executive, the Golf View Suite and the One Bedroom Golf Villa. Corporate golf days are covered on the events page.
