Recommendations
Hobart is one of Australia’s most charming capital cities, combining historic waterfront precincts, world-class food and wine, fascinating history and spectacular natural scenery. Salamanca Place and the historic waterfront are must-visit destinations, where beautifully restored sandstone warehouses now house cafés, restaurants, galleries and boutique shops overlooking the harbour.
The world-renowned Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is one of Australia’s most unique cultural attractions, while a drive to the summit of Kunanyi / Mount Wellington rewards visitors with breathtaking panoramic views across Hobart, the Derwent Estuary and southern Tasmania. For those wanting to explore beyond the city, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site offers a fascinating glimpse into Australia’s convict past and makes an unforgettable day trip.
Golfers and non-golfing partners alike can also enjoy the charming streets of Battery Point, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, boutique wineries throughout the Coal River Valley, and Hobart’s outstanding seafood, cool-climate wines, craft whisky and award-winning restaurants. Many visitors also choose to extend their Tasmanian golf holiday by exploring the renowned Tamar Valley wine region, making Hobart the perfect starting point for a journey through one of Australia’s most scenic golf destinations.
The Best Time to Visit Hobart
The best time to visit Hobart for golf is generally from November to April, when Tasmania experiences longer daylight hours, milder temperatures, and the most comfortable conditions for golf and sightseeing.
Summer is the warmest and driest period, with January and February typically offering the best chance of beach weather and extended touring days.
Autumn is also an excellent time to travel, with many calm, sunny days, cooler evenings, and beautiful seasonal colours across the region.
As with all Tasmanian destinations, conditions can change quickly, so golfers should be prepared for cool mornings, fresh breezes, and variable weather even during the best travel months.
