When a brand new golf course earns a place among Australia’s top ten, it demands attention. Even more so when that course has only just opened its full eighteen holes. Yet that is exactly what 7 Mile Beach has achieved, securing a spot among the country’s elite and confirming what many in the golf world already suspected. This is a course destined for greatness.
Set along a dramatic stretch of Tasmanian coastline just minutes from Hobart Airport, 7 Mile Beach is not simply another highly ranked layout. It represents a new benchmark for Australian links golf.
From the outset, 7 Mile Beach was conceived with clarity and restraint. Designed by Mike DeVries in collaboration with Mike Clayton, the course embraces the natural movement of the land rather than imposing itself upon it. Wide fairways invite strategic play, while firm turf and rumpled ground reward imagination and precision.
Importantly, the course does not rely on excess length or forced difficulty. Instead, it challenges players through angles, wind exposure, and thoughtful green complexes. Every hole feels intentional, and every shot asks a question rather than issuing a demand.
Few courses in Australia can genuinely claim links status. 7 Mile Beach makes that claim convincingly. The sandy soil base ensures fast running fairways year round, while the coastal winds shape each round differently depending on the day.
As the course unfolds, golfers encounter dramatic dunes, sweeping ocean views over Tiger Head Bay, and an ever present sense of openness. There is a rhythm here that seasoned links players will recognise immediately. At the same time, the course remains accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of abilities.
Earning a place among Australia’s top ranked courses so soon after opening is no small feat. Rankings are typically dominated by long established venues with decades of history and refinement. For 7 Mile Beach to enter this company so quickly speaks volumes about the quality of the design and the confidence of the judging panels.
This recognition also reinforces Tasmania’s growing reputation as one of the world’s premier golf destinations. Alongside iconic venues such as Barnbougle and Cape Wickham, 7 Mile Beach strengthens the state’s position at the very top of the global golf conversation.
Beyond the course itself, 7 Mile Beach excels in something increasingly important to luxury golf travellers: ease. With Hobart Airport just minutes away, players can land and be on the first tee with remarkable efficiency. That convenience allows itineraries to flow seamlessly, whether pairing the course with Hobart’s acclaimed dining scene or extending the journey to Tasmania’s other world class layouts.
Moreover, the limited number of daily tee times ensures an uncrowded, considered experience. This is golf enjoyed at the right pace, in a setting that feels both exclusive and unspoiled.
Ultimately, 7 Mile Beach deserves its place among Australia’s best because it delivers on every level that matters. It offers architectural integrity, authentic links character, breathtaking scenery, and a sense of occasion from the moment you arrive.
