King Island Golf Tour

Having hosted groups to King Island since it first opened and have returned back many times since.

When asked “What’s your favourite hole”, there is honestly no easy answer, there are just too many great holes to single one out. It’s pure links golf, as nature intended, and we won’t be surprised when this course makes its way into the top 10 in the world. Our advice for todays round is to enjoy every shot, the good and the bad, it’s a magical experience that only a privileged few have yet enjoyed.

Now ranked as the #1 Golf Course in Australia, there is no better time than now to experience the thrill of golf at Cape Wickham.

Fortune favours the brave on this course. Heroic tee shots will set you up nicely for your approach, but a miss hit here or there and you’ll be needing to restock on golf balls at the pro shop. There’s some real cracking holes which rival some of the best in the world, so take your time to soak it all in and enjoy the experience.
