Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Tasman Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting during spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) to experience Tasman at its finest. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity, finding the fairways lush and the coastal breezes perfectly refreshing, not punishing.

What's the most unique challenge or defining characteristic of playing Tasman Golf Course?

Tasman truly distinguishes itself with its dramatic clifftop holes, especially on the back nine where the Tasman Sea dictates your strategy. Expect elevated tees, blind shots over gulleys, and greens that often slope towards the ocean- don't be afraid to aim left.

Are there any specific holes at Tasman Golf Course that I absolutely shouldn't miss for the views or the challenge?

Absolutely, the par-3 14th, known locally as 'The Drop,' is iconic- a breathtaking tee shot over a chasm to a green perched on the cliff edge. Also, the par-5 18th offers a stunning finish with panoramic ocean views as you approach the clubhouse.

What practical advice do you have for someone playing Tasman Golf Course for the first time?

Pack for all seasons, even on a sunny day- the coastal winds can shift dramatically and quickly. We highly recommend hiring a pull cart; while walkable, the elevation changes on the back nine are significant, and you'll want your energy for those crucial shots.

After a round at Tasman, what's your top recommendation for a post-game meal or local experience nearby?

Skip the usual clubhouse fare and head straight to 'The Salty Pelican' in the nearby fishing village- it's a casual spot with incredible fresh seafood and local craft beers. It's the perfect way to unwind and soak in the coastal vibe after your round.
