The Creation of Ocean Dunes Golf Links: King Island’s Premier Golf Destination

Special insight for our followers - Building the Ocean Dunes Links Golf Course on King Island | A snippet into the amazing journey....

Discover the fascinating journey of Graeme Grant, the visionary behind Ocean Dunes Golf Links. His dedication and passion transformed King Island into a top golf destination. 

Once Graeme committed to the design and construction, he realised the project demanded his full attention. He and his wife Denise relocated from Melbourne to King Island, expecting a brief stay but ultimately dedicating years to the project. This immersive approach allowed Graeme Grant to develop creative design ideas and truly do the site on the wild west coast of King Island Tasmania justice:

“Once the decision was made to go ahead, I had to commit fully to the design & construction.  Working in a hands-on way to develop design ideas & creatively shape the ground, was the only way to ensure I could do the site justice.

For my wife Denise & me, it meant leaving our home & family in Melbourne for 3 years (originally thought to be 18 months!), buying a house & setting up on King Island to give this monumental task my full attention.   

We made a start on the holes closest to the main water source - 1^st & 18^th but then realised that what I believed would become the most spectacular hole on the course, straddling a tiny inlet on the coast, should be built first.  Luckily there was a small dam close by which enabled us to create the 4^th (pictured), our “signature hole”, for marketing purposes.  When the front nine opened for play I would make it my job to meet players on the tee & listen to their comments – all amazing!” Graeme Grant | Director | Graeme Grant Golf Designs
