Australia/Tasmania

European travelers have long been aware that Australia is a top-shelf golf destination. Exquisite, one-of-a-kind Royal Melbourne is consistently rated the best course on the continent and one of the top courses in the world. Add the rugged and highly regarded Kingston Heath Golf Club, and you’ve sampled two timeless classics. With a little effort, we’ll land in Tasmania to play Tom Doak’s modern classic, Barnbougle—a 36-hole development that plays more like a Scottish seaside links, complete with dramatic ocean views and top-notch modern American architecture.
