Devonport Golf Club

Overview: Devonport is an 18-hole parkland course at Spreyton, just outside Devonport in north-west Tasmania. Tree-lined fairways and gently rolling ground give the course a settled, local-club feel, with the par-70 layout measuring about 6,430 yards from the white tees. The holes move through mature trees and open playing corridors, offering a full round that rewards accuracy and steady approach play rather than relying on dramatic elevation or forced carries.

History: Devonport Golf Club is a long-established part of the region’s golf scene. A visitor listing dates the club to 1921, while a separate course reference lists 1956 for Vern Morcom’s design work. Those describe different milestones, so this profile does not assign one opening year to the present 18-hole routing. Its location and course identity are clear at 66 Woodrising Avenue, Spreyton.

Did You Know? The white-tee course is listed at 5,880 metres, equivalent to about 6,430 yards. The official tour records each hole individually, making it possible to follow the course’s changes in par and distance as the round moves through the property. The ninth is a par three before play returns toward the clubhouse, a small routing detail that gives the turn a distinct pause.
