Burnie Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the standout feature of playing Burnie Golf Club?

You'll absolutely love the coastal views, especially from the 14th tee where the Bass Strait stretches out before you. It's a truly memorable backdrop for a classic links-style challenge, offering a real sense of place.

When is the best time of year to play Burnie Golf Club?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early autumn - think October-November or March-April. The weather is generally milder then, and you'll avoid the stronger winter winds that can really test your game and your patience.

How challenging is Burnie Golf Club for a mid-handicapper?

Burnie offers a fair test, but don't underestimate the subtle undulations on the greens; they can be trickier than they look. The par-3 7th, with its elevated tee shot, demands precision if you want to avoid the deep bunkers guarding the front.

What should I expect regarding green fees and facilities at Burnie Golf Club?

You'll find Burnie Golf Club offers excellent value for a coastal course; green fees are quite reasonable compared to some of its flashier neighbours. The clubhouse is unpretentious but welcoming, perfect for a post-round drink and a chat with the friendly locals.

Any specific advice for first-time visitors playing Burnie Golf Club?

Definitely bring an extra layer, even on a sunny day - the coastal breeze can pick up unexpectedly and add a real challenge to your shots. Also, take a moment on the 10th fairway to appreciate the ancient gum trees lining the left side; they're a beautiful, natural hazard.
