MH Hotel_Clubhouse_800x450
DAY 1 - Sunday, June 9, 2024

ARRIVAL AT HAINAN ISLAND

Arrive at Hainan Island via Melbourne/Sydney.

You will be picked-up at the airport and transfer to the Mission Hills Resort - Haikou.

That night, enjoy a Welcome Dinner, where you will meet your fellow travelers, and get prepared for a week of fun.

(Note: Depending on your flight arrangements/city, you can arrange for an earlier arrival date.)

MH Sandbelt Trails
Monday

Sandbelt Trails

Sandbelt Trails is patterned after the exceptionally strong courses of the Australian Sandbelt, including Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath. The course features large bunkers dominated by high sand flashes and crisp, thick lips that rise above fairway and green surfaces. Large greens feature plenty of movement and square tees add to the distinct look. The predominant tree is eucalyptus in keeping with the Australian inspirations. The gently rolling, sometimes flattish terrain has been capped with plenty of width to provide vast playing surface and alternative angles of attack from its sweeping fairways.

Inclusions: Breakfast

Vintage
Tuesday

The Vintage

The Vintage is patterned after the classic courses built at the turn of the century. On one hand, there is a distinct natural feel to the layout with holes carefully routed on existing terrain leaving the heavily wooded site as undisturbed as possible. At the same time, much of the feature work utilizes odd, sometimes geometric shapes and quirky features that are distinctively old. Revered courses such as the National Golf Links, Fishers Island, Maidstone, Chicago Golf Club, and Garden City served as inspiration for creating a course that gives a distinct nod to the days of old. The natural terrain is frequently contrasted by striking, abrupt mounds, deep pots, square edges, ridges, blind shots, long and thin bunkers near both small and huge greens with wicker basket pins.

Inclusions: Breakfast.

Wednesday

REST DAY - Optional round at Stepping Stone OR Double Pin

Today, you can take this Rest Day to explore the resort, or the city of Haikou, and/or Hainan Island.

Or, if you want even more golf, you can play your choice of one of Mission-Hills' fun but challenging 18-hole Par-3 courses. Double Pin features two pins at each green, with one easier/more accessible location and one much more difficult. An arboretum-style landscape will provide an enjoyable atmosphere full of colorful trees and flowers. Stepping Stone (pictured) is a true pitch and putt course, featuring dramatic islands of turf surrounded by lava rock and large sand expanses. It is a beautiful, fun and quick round, with plenty of challenge throughout.

Inclusions: Breakfast.

LavaFields2_800x450
Thursday

Lava Fields

While similar in many respects to the Tournament Course with its irregular lines of turf and wild bunkering, Lava Fields presents far less tree cover. There is a feel of expanse that creates a big look and the black rock and sand dominate the landscape like no other course in the world. At 7400 yards, it is capable of hosting significant events.

Inclusions: Breakfast

Blackstone800x450
Friday

Blackstone

Voted best championship course in Asia, this spectacular golf course hosted The Match at Mission Hills in 2013 with Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. The course weaves through a striking landscape of mature trees, thick jungle vegetation, and expansive lakes and wetlands. The dominating site characteristic is the bed of lava rock, which has been incorporated as an integral element. Adding to the look are wild, irregular bunker edges and transitional sand edges that effortlessly work into native lava rock. In addition, there is only a fairway cut (no rough, not even at bunker faces). The naturally rolling terrain sees dramatic elevation change and great care was taken to find as many natural holes as possible.

That night, enjoy a Closing Presentation Dinner, where you can share your week's golfing highlights with your new-found friends and travellers.

  • Barnbougle, Tasmania

  • 3 rounds of world-class golf over three days

  • 2 nights' on-course accommodation

  • Individual Stableford (Aggregate) Format

A major annual highlight on the calendar for many of our golfers, the SGA Tasman Classic is a three-day Tasmanian Golf Trip that is packed with adventure. Tee it up at Tasmania's Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm, and enjoy Australia’s most spectacular and popular golf courses!

2024 SGA Tasman Classic Courses

BougleRun
FRIDAY

Bougle Run - Short Course

Designed by internationally acclaimed Golf Architect Bill Coore, Bougle Run’s 14 holes consist of 12 par-3s and two par 4s which sit on the tall, undulating coastal dunes between Lost Farm’s front and back 9. The route, which includes some of the highest points of the entire Barnbougle complex, is set slightly back from the coastline, providing aerial-like views over the Lost Farm Course and Anderson’s Bay. A fun, challenging addition to Barnbougle’s two world top 100 courses, Bougle Run is designed for golfers of all abilities and the perfect option to sate your golf appetite in just 90 minutes.

Barnbougle Dunes
SATURDAY

Barnbougle Dunes

Rated the #2 Golf Course in Australia by Australian Golf Magazine and #11 in the World by U.S. Golf Digest, The Dunes course at Barnbougle, with its spectacular vistas of Tasmania’s North East Coast, is a Links Golf Course unlike any other in Australia. Featuring rugged terrain, challenging risk-reward options and some of the most spectacular golf views in the world, Barnbougle Dunes is a must-play for any golfer.

Lost Farm
SUNDAY

The Lost Farm

Ranked as the #2 public course in Australia, and #23 in the World, The Lost Farm is remarkably different to it's older "brother" course.  Featuring 20 holes that wind along the coast and through the coastal dunes, The Lost Farm course is a slightly more "open" layout that offers an exciting challenge for golfers of all levels.

Notes re: Air Travel to Barnbougle / Tasmania

Commercial flights from around Australia fly in to Launceston, which is a one-hour drive from Barnbougle. Car hire is available at the airport and there is a bus that regularly transfers golfers from Launceston airport to Barnbougle Dunes. There are Travel Directions and Airport Transfers pages with info on the Barnbougle website.

When booking commercial flights:

  • Note that the drive from Launceston Airport to Barnbougle Dunes is a solid 90 minutes. Book your inbound flights accordingly (the night before is generally your best option).
  • We recommend booking your return flight (Sunday) for after 5pm, to allow for golf, presentations and transfer back to Launceston.

NOTES RE CAR HIRE

If you are planning to hire a car in Launceston, we HIGHLY recommend you book it WELL IN ADVANCE, as there is a shortage of hire cars in the area. It is also much cheaper the earlier you book.

Event Format

The Tasman Classic features a Stableford format over the three rounds of the event with an Order of Merit points system, where, each day, player's scores are ranked from first to last. The points for the three rounds are totalled, and the player(s) with the greatest points are declared the winners.

Prizes are awarded to the A, B and C-Grade winners. (Depending on field size)
