Best Golf Courses for Kids in Hobart

Two real public courses close to Hobart - Kingston Beach and Tasmania Golf Club - each with junior pricing or programs, compared for families.

Hobart's golf options for families cluster around two genuinely public courses - one a short drive south of the city, one near the airport with a stronger competitive pedigree.

Kingston Beach Golf Club - Kingston

Kingston Beach Golf Club is Tasmania's southernmost championship course, about 15 minutes south of Hobart, notable for the inclinator that carries golfers up to its elevated 18th tee.

Junior and invited-junior green fees are clearly published ($20 for 9 holes, $30 for 18) and well below standard adult rates - a genuinely accessible option for a first family round. No specific named junior coaching program was confirmed, so check with the pro shop for current coaching availability.

Tasmania Golf Club - Cambridge

Tasmania Golf Club sits on the Barilla Bluff overlooking the water near Hobart Airport, ranked among Australia's top 100 courses and open on this site since 1971.

The club runs a MyGolf Junior Development Program with weekend clinics during school terms, plus a short-course junior tournament on Saturdays designed to introduce young players to competitive play in a low-pressure format.

Which is the better starting point for a young beginner?

Kingston Beach's clear, low junior green fees make it the more budget-friendly starting point; Tasmania Golf Club's structured MyGolf program and junior tournament format suit a child ready for some light competition.
