点评:I visited Cape Wickham links mid December 2025. My first time playing the course.
Go Golfing organised a week long itinerary which entailed 6 courses across Tasmania and King Island. They saved the best till last.
I played early Sunday morning and it was very quiet. Just the sound of the waves. The view from the clubhouse is astounding. Cape Wickham links has the most spectacular of settings that few golf courses can compete with.
I played off a golf handicap index of 10.5 which entailed a 12 handicap from the second hardest tees, the white tees. Slope rating was 137.
At 5774 metres long, the course is not the longest by any means. Its biggest defence of course is the wind and the penal rough. Compared to Ocean Dunes, Cape Wickham is more forgiving in many aspects.
Only a very light breeze all day which meant scoring was easier and I shot 85 even though I lost four balls and took 34 putts.
Most of the greens are of a generous size and there are plenty of subtle breaks. The carpet fairways were in excellent condition. Unlike the dry, yellowing fairways of Ocean Dunes, these were a pleasure to hit off. The downhill ninth hole is a real thrill and I managed to hit a 342m drive there.
Nine of the holes skirt the ocean and you will feel close enough to the water, that it’s tempting to stop for a swim. The seventh requires a tee shot over the water taking on the stiff westerly from the ocean.
The clubhouse is intimate and very friendly. I enjoyed a delicious linguini afterwards.
I only saw two other groups all day so there is no pressure to play quickly.
This was an extremely fulfilling experience and it’s not hard to see why Golf Digest rank Cape Wickham as Australia’s no 1 golf course.
翻译:2025年12月中旬,我造访了卡普威克姆林克斯球场,这是我第一次在这里打球。
Go Golfing 为我安排了一周的行程,涵盖了塔斯马尼亚和国王岛上的六个球场。他们把最好的留到了最后。
我周日清晨开球,球场非常安静,只有海浪声。从会所望出去的景色令人叹为观止。卡普威克姆林克斯球场拥有极其壮丽的景色,鲜有球场能与之媲美。
我的差点指数为10.5,这意味着从第二难的白Tee发球台开球,我的差点是12。球场坡度评级为137。
球场全长5774米,绝对算不上最长。当然,它最大的挑战是风和惩罚性的长草区。与海洋沙丘球场相比,卡普威克姆在很多方面都更加宽容。
整天只有微风,这意味着得分更容易,尽管丢了四个球,推了34杆,我还是打出了85杆。
大多数果岭面积都很大,而且有很多微妙的坡度变化。球道如地毯般平整,状况极佳。与海洋沙丘球场干燥泛黄的球道不同,这里的球道开球感觉非常舒适。下坡的第九洞真是刺激,我在那里打出了342米的开球。
九个球洞都沿着海岸线,你会感觉离水很近,甚至会忍不住停下来游个泳。第七洞需要开球越过水面,顶着来自海洋的强劲西风。
会所温馨舒适,氛围友好。之后我享用了一份美味的意大利细面。
我一整天只遇到了另外两组球友,所以没有赶时间的压力。
这是一次非常充实的体验,不难理解为什么《高尔夫文摘》将威克姆角评为澳大利亚排名第一的高尔夫球场。
