Barnbougle 4 Ball

Barnbougle 4 Ball Golf Tournament

Welcome to the Barnbougle 4 Ball Golf Tournament. You’ve heard the stories – 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 and separate handicapped divisions, you don’t have to have a low handicap to enjoy it!

The 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.

The organisation was seamless. You knew what to do, when to do, where to go and kept informed every step of the way. Mark and Cloud were amazing. To keep 60 golfers with different expectations, golfing ability and very different personalities is not easy but they handled it all amazingly. A lot if work goes on behind the scenes. The generosity of the prizes beyond believe. Venue, food and staff a credit to everyone. Even the lunches were a welcome touch. Can hardly wait to do another trip

Rhonda Hamilton, Barnbougle 2020

It was an extremely well organised trip. I felt like a five star client from start to finish and I can’t wait to go again next year.

Jen Cicchinelli, Barnbougle 2020

Very well organised. Great location. Challenging courses. Fun activities. Fantastic Go golfing hosts. Fun atmosphere and wonderful food. If you are thinking about it just do it!

Julie Preston, Barnbougle 2020

Everything was what I’ve come to expect from Go Golfing made possible by our excellent hosts and whoever ordered the weather thank you!

Richard Kimpton, Barnbougle 2020

Fantastic.. well planned, organised and excuted. Mark and Cloud extremely professional and had the right balance between fun and seriousness. I would highly recommend Go Golfing tours and will definitely be joining another trip.. Faultless.

Kerrie Tomlinson, Barnbougle 2020

Superb, picturesque courses. Friendly company. Cloud and Mark were attentive, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Both venues and staff were excellent. Food / meals were a very good standard. Weather was balmy – little wind, sunshine, no smoke.

Kate McDougall, Barnbougle 2020

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, Barnbougle 2017

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.
