King Island’s Cape Wickham, rated as the #1 course in Australia by the GOLF Course Guide’s Top 100 courses for the past eight years, has now been named number one by the country’s leading golf magazine Golf Digest.
While the GOLF Course Guide only ranks public access courses, Golf Digest includes all private courses in Australia. As such, Royal Melbourne (consistently ranked inside the World’s Top 10) has held the mantle as Australia’s #1, however as reported on NCA Newswire via The Australian, Cape Wickham has taken the number one position from Royal Melbourne for only the second time in four decades!
Five of the Top 10 courses ranked by Golf Digest are in Victoria, while the Apple Isle is home to three of the Top 10. READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE
