2026 SGA Tasman Classic a blast at Barnbougle

2026 SGA Tasman Classic a blast at Barnbougle

Spectacular weather and a stunning golf resort greeted a full field of golfers at the 2026 SGA Tasman Classic. With plenty of sunshine and little-to-no wind for most of the weekend, it was a perfect golf escape, and a bucket-list ticked-off for many.

Friday - R1 - Bougle Run

A simply stunning day in Tasmania for Day 1 of the 2026 SGA Tasman Classic. A booked-out field of 47 golfers from across Australia descended upon Barnbougle for R1 of the event, which teed off at the 14-hole short course, Bougle Run. And though it is a short course, it was anything but easy, with tricky approaches, sloped greens and elevation changes. But it was most definitely a LOT of a fun.

Special note goes to David Gamer, with a HOLE-IN-ONE on the par-3 3rd hole, which garnered plenty of shouts (including at the bar)

After Round, 1, the Leaderboards began to take shape, with the unique Order of Merit points system ranking players throughout the weekend based on their placings for each round.

Saturday - R2 - Barnbougle Dunes

Round 2 of the 2026 SGA Tasman Classic had more of the glorious weather - with the course bathed in sunshine. The day was a corker at Barnbougle Dunes, and the players were smiling ear to ear. The course proved why it is considered one of the world's best golf layouts, with stunning views, challenging risk-reward options, and amazing conditioning throughout. An absolute treat.

Sunday - R3 - Lost Farm

An overcast but warm morning greeted players on Sunday for R3 at Lost Farm.  With 20 holes, and wide-open fairways, the course was a stark contrast to the rugged Barnbougle Dunes from Round 2. Though the views, conditioning and challenge were all still evident! And while the final few groups saw a bit of drizzle in the afternoon, the real rain stayed away.

Thus, once again, the SGA Tasman Classic featured marvelous golf weather and heaps of fun throughout the weekend.

2022 Tasman Classic - Barnbougle Dunes

Tassie Treat: Golfers have a blast at Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm at 2022 Tasman Classic

Fantastic weather and two spectacular golf courses provided a memorable setting for 37 SGA golfers at the 2022 Tasman Classic.

Held over 3 days on Tasmania's world-famous Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm Courses, the event was an absolute cracker. Three rounds of golf, plus some bonus holes on the brand-new Bougle Run, gave our golfers the chance to experience some of the best golf in Australia (and the world!)

The weather for the entire weekend was mint! Hardly a breath of wind, with plenty of sunshine. And while some may chalk it up to luck, the SGA management team contends that the heaps of preparation and research into scheduling may have played its part as well.

Each golfer received a dozen Srixon Balls prior to tee off, with a few noting they'd lost half of them on the first 3 holes! Most of the golfers found the rugged and challenging Barnbougle Dunes (Saturday) to be the harder of the two layouts. As a result, some very good golfers got a smack that day. Cameron "Jonesy" Jones was the exception; with four 4-pointers, Jonesy was the only one to beat his handicap.

A bonus to the weekend was the new Barnbougle Run short course, which was fantastic fun. Many of the golfers had a go over the weekend and everyone absolutely loved it. It also was a great alternative for those who were a bit sore, or who didn't want to take on a full 18 holes on Sunday.

The Tasman Classic event consisted of three rounds: Stableford on Days 1 (Farm) and 2 (Dunes), with a Par round on Day 3 (Farm).  An Order of Merit system awarded points for each of the three rounds depening on placement.

Well done to Glen McMillan and Richard Knowles on winning A and B grade respectively.

Overall, it was an outstanding result, and we look forward to seeing you all next year!
