Stanley Golf Course

Stanley Golf Club is a historic 9-hole golf course established in 1909 in the seaside town of Stanley, Tasmania. The course features a par 66 with a Golf Australia rating of 100. Designed in the typical UK links style, it presents a challenging layout characterized by tree and coastal grass-lined fairways, bunkers, and a sand dam.

The opening hole is a par 5 that demands accuracy with out-of-bounds farming pasture along the right side. The remaining holes comprise four par 4s and four par 3s, each with distinctive character. Players must navigate thick coastal marram grass edges throughout the course, requiring careful shot placement and sustained concentration. Maritime winds frequently impact play, adding to the course's difficulty.

The course features well-maintained fairways and greens set against the picturesque coastal landscape. The combination of links-style design, natural hazards, and challenging wind conditions makes Stanley a testing venue for golfers of all abilities. The course maintains active membership and tournament programs within the local golfing community.
