The sister course to Barnbougle Dunes, a wilder, wider-open links routed through native scrub and dunes along Bass Strait; unusually features 20 holes rather than 18. Opened December 10, 2010.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"Generous fairways hide subtle strategic angles; caddies help identify the best line into the doglegged greens."
The 20-hole course. After Barnbougle Dunes took off, owner Richard Sattler brought in Bill Coore (of Coore & Crenshaw) to build a sibling across the Forester River, opened in 2010. Coore found 20 holes he couldn't bear to cut, so the scorecard includes 13a and 18a — two bonus par 3s. Lost Farm's holes change direction constantly, which co-designer of the original course Mike Clayton says makes it the better course in high wind; many rank it above the Dunes outright. Bigger dunes, softer edges, same wild coast.
Anyone making the Barnbougle trip plays both, but Lost Farm is the pick for players who prefer Coore & Crenshaw subtlety to Doak drama — and for windy days, when its direction changes keep the round fair.
The par-3 4th, played out to a point above the Forester River with the ocean and the original course spread behind it, is the postcard. The bonus holes 13a and 18a are the charm — proof the land was too good to obey the number 18.
Slightly kinder than its sibling — wider landing zones and greens that gather rather than repel — but it's still exposed championship links in a windy corner of Tasmania. Manage expectations, enjoy the walk.
Not confirmed in GSPro as of mid-2026 — Barnbougle Dunes has a public recreation but Lost Farm doesn't appear on the master list. Queue the Dunes for your Tasmania fix and check the course servers periodically; it's a natural candidate for a future build.
Public, same deal as the Dunes: roughly AU$200-250, on-site lodging, and the remoteness of Bridport, Tasmania as the true green fee. The 36-hole day across both courses is the standard pilgrimage.
