Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Devonport Golf Club course really like - is it a hidden gem or just a local track?

We've played it, and it's definitely more than just a local track. You'll find a beautifully maintained layout with a surprising amount of challenge, especially when the coastal winds pick up. The greens are often quick and true, demanding precision from your short game.

When is the absolute best time of year to visit Devonport for a round of golf?

For the most enjoyable conditions, we recommend visiting from late spring through autumn - October to April. The weather is generally milder and more consistent then, giving you the best chance for a sunny, less windy round. Winter can be a bit damp and chilly, though the course remains open.

How easy is it to get a tee time at Devonport Golf Club, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Booking a tee time is generally straightforward, especially if you call ahead a few days - it's not usually packed like some big city courses. Green fees are very reasonable for the quality you get, offering excellent value compared to mainland courses. You'll find it's a welcoming club with no fuss.

Since there's only one course, what else can I do in Devonport to make a golf trip worthwhile?

Devonport is a fantastic base for exploring Tasmania's north-west coast. After your round, we suggest checking out the Bass Strait Maritime Centre or taking a scenic drive to nearby Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park for breathtaking views. The local food scene, especially fresh seafood, is also a highlight you shouldn't miss.

Is Devonport Golf Club a good standalone golf destination, or is it better as part of a larger Tasmanian golf trip?

While it's a superb course, we honestly think Devonport Golf Club shines brightest as a key stop on a broader Tasmanian golf adventure. It perfectly complements the state's other top courses, offering a unique coastal challenge and a genuine taste of local golf. If you're flying into Devonport via the Spirit of Tasmania, it's an absolute must-play upon arrival or departure.
