Lost Farm Links Golf

They say "Boasting spectacular holes that wind along the coast, adjacent to the Forester River and inland towards the Tasmanian hinterland, Barnbougle Lost Farm is a breathtakingly beautiful golf course that is dramatically different and yet simultaneously complements both the surrounding landscape and Barnbougle Dunes." and the commentators say "Lost Farm offers an array of very different holes. You may take the opportunity to hit a tee shot down the river and hook it back into the fairway, or hit blindly over a large domed hillock to find the fairway on the other side. For the not so brave, all the holes offer a different and less intimidating approach, and many have sublime views over the beach and ocean." (www.dennishutton.com)

Ratho Farm Golf Links

They say "The Ratho Golf Links were first laid out and enjoyed by the pioneering Reid family, who emigrated from Scotland and settled Ratho in 1822. It is Australia's oldest golf course, and the oldest remaining outside of Scotland." It has been observed that "In all likelihood, a player starting a round at Ratho Farm Golf Links first notices the sheep roaming the fairways. Next to draw one's attention, probably, are the wire fences around the square putting greens, the lowest strand of wire far enough above the ground to allow small critters such as rabbits to enter and nibble on the grass, other strands high enough to keep the larger sheep off the putting surfaces."
