The Swansea Golf Club is located a 90-minute drive north of Hobart on Tasmania's east coast is the Swansea Golf Club. A nine-hole course, its gentle undulations, and small greens make for a solid golf course, but it's the sounds and sight of the lapping sea that really gives the club its charisma.

The location of Swansea is stunning. Sidling the bright blue ocean and looking directly to Freycinet National Park, every hole bears the distraction of unspoiled scenery. Swansea town center is within walking distance which gives another dimension to the feel of the club. There is a quaint, village atmosphere that suits the shorter 9-hole format.

Course condition is good with the greens short. The fairways that immediately cradle the ocean meaning an errant shot are seriously punishing. The midsection of the course features doglegs that can be made bolder by a strong breeze. Just two bunker features, making them a fair challenge for newcomers or a chance to really get a low score for seasoned players.

The Swansea Golf Club clubhouse makes good use of its location, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the course and the natural expanses. The locals care about their club, and that passion comes through to visiting golfers. There are driving ranges, a pro shop, and restaurant and bar facilities on-site.
