Cape Wickham Golf Links

Cape Wickham Golf Links is an 18 hole golf course with hotel accommodation located on the northern tip of King Island, a short 40 minute flight south of Melbourne. Cape Wickham Links is ranked as the:
#1 public access golf course in Australia by The Golf Course Guide 2018
#3 overall course in the Golf Digest Australia 2018 Top 100 list
#24 in the world by Golf Digest USA in 2018

The site is unique in Australia and rare in world golf given that:
- 8 holes are adjacent (parallel) to Bass Strait (ocean)
- 2 other holes have greens on the coastline
- 3 other holes have tees beside the ocean
- All 18 holes enjoy views of Bass Strait (ocean)

The 18th bends around the beach at Victoria Cove, which is in play. The land is gently undulating and interspersed with giant sand dunes and ridges. The soil is either sandy or sandy loam. Occasional limestone outcrops create further interest. Water for irrigation is sourced from ground water below the course.

The layout at Cape Wickham Links is made up of three basic loops:
- Holes 1 - 5 on the Cape Farewell headland
- Holes 6 - 13 in dune land to the south of Cape Farewell
- Holes 14 - 18 in the Lighthouse/Victoria Cove zone
