King Island Golf & Bowling Club

King Island Golf & Bowling Club, located in Currie on the rugged west coast of King Island, Tasmania, is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest 9-hole layouts — played as a composite 18 holes through alternate tees and greens across ten fairways. Set among coastal dunes where the land meets the Southern Ocean, the links-style terrain has drawn comparisons to St Andrews in Scotland, with rolling fairways carved from natural undulations. When the wind picks up off the Southern Ocean, the course demands real creativity and strategic thinking to navigate each hole. The 18-hole composite comprises 3 par 3s, 12 par 4s, and 3 par 5s over a total distance of 5,476 metres, featuring 17 alternate tees and 12 alternate greens.
