Been awhile since i posted but i am in a similar spot to Goldy. A couple of big expenses in the last couple of months that i need to recover from…
To everyone who is still contemplating this trip, definitely go! The course + food is excellent and the people at the pro shops etc are brilliant. Accomodation is also reasonable. It really is a bucket list type course.
So why do they call you fairwaybomber?
Fehan tells me that Barnbougle do an airport shuttle for $20 each way
It makes sense $ wise if you have a confirmed big group (20+), being picked up at the same time. It can be limiting as you need to org another bus if you want to drive to the other course or need to get around. Works out cheaper if you rent a car (about $50 pp for the 2 days).
There is also a free shuttle service between the courses.
cool, its an option for those who prefer that. Do you want to look into the logistics of it?

Good Friday – 10 April
Easter Monday – 13 AprilAssuming will avoid Easter Monday, but we fly in on a Monday and leave Tuesday evening, we could do the following:
6 and 7 April
20 and 21 April
27 and 28 AprilI am leaning towards 6 and 7, so we get the slightly warmer weather, and longer days.
school holidays in there and 25 April ANZAC Day and weekend
Thanks Mike.
Folks, all things considered, for the month of April, I think the 20th and 21st are the most viable dates. Lets’ use this for now, so everyone can start looking at their April plans, speak to the ministry of finance and their constituents etc etc.
Goldy and I will look to book this before Christmas, so get your business in order beforehand! Happy to make the bookings etc, but any upfront costs will need to be received beforehand.
In a nutshell, the high level plan is:
20/4/2020 – Monday- Fly in to Launceston 20th April
Pick up hire car and drive to Barnbougle Dunes
Play 18 at Barnbougle Links
Stay at Barnbougle Links cabins
Dinner at Barnbougle Restaurant (or Lost Farm)21/4/2020 – Tuesday
- Pack up
Drive to Lost Farm and play 18
Lunch at Barnbougle/Lost Farm
Drive to Launceston Airport
Fly back to MelbourneOur previous trip was around $550 per person. This included shared accomodation, green fees for both courses, shared rental car and flights. Excludes food, drinks and petrol (very small amount),
