Our new Championship Golf Course
It’s nearly here. Our new par 72, 18-hole golf championship course is undergoing a $20 million transformation. Created by a globally respected architect Robin Gibson to the world’s highest standards. Situated within a beautifully landscaped parkland precinct and inspired by some of the finest courses in North America and the UK. Make no mistake, what’s coming is a landmark in every sense of the word. Scheduled to open in Summer 2026/27, it will offer a visually stunning and challenging experience.
Our Vision
Unlike the rugged coastal links that have defined Tasmania’s global golf reputation, the Championship Golf Course introduces a lush, tree-lined parklands style. Century-old oaks and native bushland frame the fairways. Stone bridges cross over creeks and lakes. Undulating greens and carefully placed bunkers demand precision and strategy. It’s a course that rewards thoughtful play and invites golfers to return again and again, each round revealing new challenges and opportunities.
The name, Championship Golf Course, is a tribute to Country Club Tasmania’s proud history. Originally opened in 1982, the course was designed by Australian golf legend Peter Thomson and architect Michael Wolveridge, and quickly earned a reputation for its blend of links and parkland styles. The new name honours that pedigree while reflecting the resort’s ambition to host elite tournaments and become a destination for serious golfers across Australia and beyond.
Announcing our ambassador
At the heart of this new vision is Ricky Ponting, one of Australia’s most celebrated athletes and a proud Launceston local. We are thrilled to appoint him as the official ambassador, Ponting brings authenticity, prestige, and a genuine passion for the game. His involvement is more than symbolic; it’s a reflection of the course’s quality and its connection to the community.
“Growing up in Launceston, Country Club was always part of the local landscape, a place where sport, community, and good times came together. To now be part of its next chapter as ambassador for the new Championship Golf Course is a real honour,” said Ponting. “This course isn’t just world-class; it’s Tasmanian through and through.”
Stay tuned on the developments, there are more exciting things to come.
