Located in , a small suburb outside of Hobart, it has become a hotspot of activity. The course is situated in Austins Ferry , Tasmania. A small suburb, 20 minutes drive north of Hobart. The entrance to the reserve is at the end of Wakehurst Road, off Main Road, Austins Ferry. The course has undergone a range of upgrades, improvements, and expansions in its lifetime. Initially, it consisted of just 9 baskets, and was on host of the Australian Open taking place each November.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 6 reviews.
Pros: 5 stars, everything that can be said has been said. Holds a special place in my heart with amazing views and a great mix of holes. Cons: Warm up your ankles, they are in for a workout.
8 years agoPros: Plenty of elevation with lovely views over greater Hobart. Eighteen dedicated holes offering a large array of shot making. Cons: The roll-aways, but i guess that's my fault for missing the putt! Tee-pads weren't the best when i was last there, but they may have improved by now.
8 years agoPros: Sick course full stop. All the holes beckon you to birdie them, but one wrong move and Poimena punishes bad shots like no other. When you get it right, it's a sweet feeling. The course is also run by some passionate people who are trying new things to make it even better. Cons: Some gravel tees can get sketchy when wet.
9 years agoPros: One of the best championship level courses in Australia. Hands down. Amazing views from up the top of basket 15. Well designed course and a lot of hard work put into the course by the Hobart crew. A must visit when coming over to Tasmania Cons: The roll aways
