Launceston Golf Club

Overview: Launceston Golf Club is one of Tasmania's established 18-hole courses, set at Kings Meadows within the broader Launceston area. The current course is listed at par 72 and 5,808 metres, or approximately 6,351 yards. The parkland setting combines mature trees, gently changing ground and a cool southern climate that can make the ball and turf behave differently from mainland resort courses. It is a practical visitor round for golfers exploring northern Tasmania.

History: The club's roots reach back to 1895, and the move to Kings Meadows took place in 1901. That makes the current site part of a long Tasmanian golf story rather than a recent development. The course has been maintained and adapted through changing eras, while its identity remains tied to local club golf and the landscape around Launceston.

Did You Know? Launceston is promoted as the oldest 18-hole course in Tasmania, a distinction that gives the round unusual historical context. The course is not presented as a museum piece. Its active club setting, mature trees and long timeline give it a sense of continuity that newer resort layouts cannot reproduce.
