2. Barnbougle Lost Farm

The much-anticipated second course at Barnbougle, Lost Farm, makes a spectacular entry into this ranking at No.2 and will be a serious contender for the top spot in years is to come. While Lost Farm, like Barnbougle Dunes, is set among dramatic coastal sand dunes, the course is quite different. Coore’s routing hugs the sea where possible but it also takes advantage of the fine golfing landscape found just inland from the beach. This has resulted in a layout that plays to all points of the compass and, with the ever-present wind, makes for a wonderful variety of shots during the course of a round.

3. Moonah Links Legends Course

Most of the talk at Moonah Links centres on the “leviathan” (Peter Thomson’s own description) Open course but the Legends layout has proven more popular with our judges. Golf is supposed to be fun and the stunning dunescape, combined with a collection of well designed and playable holes, make the Legends course exactly that.
