Cape Wickham Links - King Island: Omdömen

One of the remotest golf courses I have played last year at Christmas. Cape Wickham is located in Australia, Tasmania and it’s small King Island. To get there, take a flight from Melbourne or Sydney, rent a local car and drive 1 hour north. Stunning location.

Visiting this course was one of the best golf experiences I have ever had. First of all, the journey to the island itself is quite fun, you get on the smallest plane possible, the pilot jokes with you all the way, you land on a super small airport and get the keys to your car from the "lady next door" (you need a car!, public transportation does not exist on the island).… Mer

Set on a spectacular stretch of coast on a remote Island in the Bass Strait, Cape Wickham is inconceivably good. It’s hard to imagine that such a good Golf course could have been laid out in such a remote location. We played it on a blustery bit sunny day and we awestruck the whole way around. Photos do not do this place justice. You simply have to place it to believe i… Mer

Fantastische linksbaan met aanhoudend zeezicht. Lange holes van de backtees met drivecarries van soms 190 meter over woeste duinenbegroeiing. Zoals de signaturehole 18 die hoewel een par 4 aan de 18 van Pebble Beach doet denken. Ook veel uitdagende blindshots. Greens zijn perfect maar moeilijk te lezen. Je bent hier aan het einde van de wereld in een ongerept natuurgebie… Mer

One of the best golf experiences you can get in the world these days. You’ve got so many things that are coming together here. Breathtaking views, jawdropping shots over the beautiful Victoria Cove beach, playing along an absolutely wild and dramatic coastline and where you also can find the tallest Lighthouse on any golf course in the world. It offers a tough challenge a… Mer

Cape Wickham’s signature is the 140 year old lighthouse that has witnessed its fair share of tragedies over the decades and now watches over many golfing wrecks. When this startling white effigy appears, your heart will start to race and as you drive aside the massive dunes with view below of the back nine, your mouth will become dry. No photo or drone video can do justic… Mer

What a golf course. Imagine mixing a top notch, modern links like Pacific Dunes with as much ocean frontage as Pebble and you have Cape Wickham, which is better than either of those. From the dramatic opener (the best in golf?) through the all-world, epic, downhill, s-shaped Par 5 9th to the amazing 18th, a cape-hole over the in-play beach, Cape Wickham is a rollercoaster… Mer

The wait is over, and its well worth the wait - at the newly ranked 24th best course in the world. Cape Wickham on King Island was ventured to by Mark "dessy" Ryan and myself. Photos and videos only provide a slight insight into the how good the course truly is and will become with more maturity. ??⛳?

Een prachtige echte linksbaan. Net 3 maanden open en wat een superkwaliteit. Nu al heeft Cape Wickham een ranking als 3de golfbaan van Australië en als 23ste van de wereld. Bijna alle holes liggen aan de beukende oceaan die met haar rauwe golven en onaflatende wind zorgt voor een onvergetelijke golfervaring. Het clubhuis is provisorisch ondergebracht in een container … Mer
