Cape Wickham Links is an 18-hole golf course that was constructed on the northern tip of King Island, 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of Currie, on Tasmania.
The windy climate necessitated the use of multiple types of fescue grasses for the greens.
[4] Covering around 120 hectares (300 acres), the course encroached on the nesting burrows of short-tailed shearwaters.
Some of these were destroyed in the course's creation, however, the construction took place outside the breeding season while the birds were absent.
[7] The course has been designed with wide fairways to accommodate for the strong westerly winds known as the Roaring Forties.
