About the Course
Cape Wickham Links opened in 2015 on the northern tip of King Island, a remote island in the Bass Strait between Victoria and Tasmania. Designed by Mike Clayton and Darius Oliver, the course is built on some of the most dramatic golf land anywhere in the world. The routing sweeps through natural coastal dunes, around rocky headlands, and along towering granite cliffs above the Bass Strait. The Cape Wickham lighthouse — operational since 1861 — provides a spectacular backdrop to the par-3 first hole. Within years of opening, the course had entered every major global top 25 ranking and is now widely regarded as Australia's greatest course. Access is by small aircraft from Melbourne, which only adds to the sense of pilgrimage.
