Destination Southern Tasmania chief executive Alex Heroys said the state now has a premium golf circuit that is driving tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cGolfers come to the state and travel around it, spend in regional communities, go to different courses and bring their family and friends,\u201d Heroys said.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Cambridge club earned its place at 100th on the prestigious list<\/p>\n

Tasmania Golf Club secretary Gerard Hanks said the Top 100 listing is a significant achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition reflects the club\u2019s continued growth, investment, and commitment to delivering one of Australia\u2019s premier golfing experiences,\u201d Hanks said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt highlights Tasmania\u2019s standing among the nation\u2019s leading courses and acknowledges the unique qualities that continue to attract members, visitors and golfing enthusiasts from across Tasmania and interstate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hanks said the rankings assess courses against criteria including shot options, challenge, layout variety, distinctiveness, character, conditioning and aesthetics.<\/p>\n

He said a defining strength of the club is its strategic course design and variety of shot-making opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course rewards thoughtful golf, creativity, and precision, with players required to continually adapt to changing wind conditions, varying hole shapes, and diverse green complexes,\u201d Hanks said.<\/p>\n

Hanks also pointed to the club\u2019s commitment to developing junior golfers through coaching clinics, competitions and development pathways.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment in junior golf reflects the club\u2019s broader vision, creating not only a successful golf course, but a thriving golfing community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tasmania Golf Club has cracked Australian Golf Digest\u2019s Top 100 Courses, ranking 100th and becoming the state\u2019s seventh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":740288,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-740287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/740288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=740287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=740287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
