Barnbougle Dunes
Tasmania, Australia
Like much of this largely eco-protected island, the young yet famous golf course laid out here is crisscrossed by heaving
land features, their edges softened by a prevailing wind called the "roaring forties." Seaside golf traditionally includes
one compact hole that tests nothing but a player's educated hands and refined "touch"—at Barnbougle the diminutive par-3 seventh
plays that role. You stand on the tee, having traveled thousands of miles to a remote, magical destination, and now you need
to loft your golf ball 100-something paces to relive that pleasure of safe arrival. Rates start at $150, 18 holes of golf
for $99; 61/36/356-0094 or
