Launceston Golf Club is an 18-hole course regarded as the toughest championship layout in northern Tasmania. The Launceston Golf Club has a proud reputation locally and interstate for the presentation of its facilities and as an excellent test of golfing ability. The 5987 metre, par 72 layout provides something for all golfers, whether beginners or seasoned players. Carved out of natural bushland it boasts well manicured greens, strategically placed bunkers on every hole and eucalyptus-tree-lined fairways. With stands of black wood and wattle trees throughout the course you are unaware of the close proximity of the surrounding hustle and bustle of the Launceston suburbs. The most interesting hole is Spion Kop, the 159m par 3 thirteenth with out of bounds on the left and a lake on the right. The tee shot over a steep gully must avoid bunkers on three sides of the green. Launceston Golf Club is located at Kingsmeadows in Tasmania's northern city of Launceston.
