Callaway Golf 4 Ball
BARNBOUGLE, TASMANIA / 7-13 January 2019
Barnbougle is as good as it gets — deliciously unpredictable and highly addictive. It is some of the most exciting, magical golf in Australia. It is close to playing the likes of Lahinch and Ballybunion in Ireland and The Old Course at St Andrews, Scotland. And, thanks to 6 different sets of tees, you don’t have to have a low handicap to enjoy it!
THE WINNING 4-BALL FORMAT
The Callaway Golf 4-Ball is a unique team event combining best ball, ambrose and aggregate competitions in handicap divisions. Single entrants will be paired into a team.
IT'S ALL ABOUT US & NO ONE ELSE
Our group take over. The whole place has been booked out for our exclusive use and it wont take long before doors are left open and bottles of wine are shared over balconies.
SPICE IT UP
This event is extremely social! You will compete in teams of 2 and play with new teams everyday. There are over 20 singles who join us each year and all singles will be partnered up - that's our guarantee!
SHOW YOUR COLOURFUL SIDE
During the week you will dress up in fancy dress. It helps you earn points for your team. We have seen green leprechauns, blue Barnbougle pencils, purple trolls and yellow daffodils.
RELAX, UNWIND, RESET
This is God's country. The untouched wilderness, rolling dunes and clean air will inspire you to breathe a little deeper for those glorious, “tell-your-friends-about-it” shotmaking moments.
The Barnbougle Golf Challenge is an enjoyable week where you can play two of Australia’s greatest courses and relax a little more as you are on holidays. I came as a single player but Go Golfing found me a playing partner with ease. I found the pairs events great, as we could plan a strategy together. Great competition, courses, accommodation and food all week. I would recommend this tournament to all golfers. I enjoyed it very much!
Bernard Hogan
The Go Golfing management ensured the booking process was easy. The whole week was an unforgettable experience with great courses being both Barnbougle
Dunes and Lost Farm played twice during the week. The company of friendly fellow golfers with time to play golf and relax made for a positive golfing holiday in a beautiful location.

The Competition Golf Courses
Barnbougle Lost Farm
Ranked #2 in Australia
Ranked #33 in the World
Just a short pitching wedge across the river from The Dunes, lies Barnbougle’s second instalment – Lost Farm. Despite Lost Farm’s close proximity to The Dunes, it is remarkably different, featuring 20-holes that wind along the coast and through the coastal dunes.
Ranked as the #2 public course in Australia by Golf Australia Magazine, and #23 in the World by US Golf Digest, the Lost Farm course is an exciting challenge for Golfers from all levels of experience. Before you depart for Lost Farm, take a tour of the course, or reserve professional lessons onsite. When you arrive, make the most of our practice facilities and competitive rates on golf fees for both 9 and 18 hole games–all day.
Barnbougle Dunes
Ranked #4 in Australia
Ranked #40 in the World
The elder of the two courses, The Dunes is a spectacular example of traditional Links golf. Why not take a Course Tour to become acquainted with this beautiful landscape? There are Practice Facilities to get you warmed up and if you want to get serious, perfect your driving, putting and chipping skills under one of our teaching professionals. Overlooking Barbougle’s pristine beach sits the stunning Dunes Clubhouse – where you can wind down between and after games with a refreshing drink and a hearty meal.
The Dunes course also offers a range of services you can peruse, from club and golf cart hire to professional assistance from your own personal caddy.
