18 TEE BOX THE BIG PICTURE The par-five fifteenth at the new Seven Mile Beach in Hobart, Australia, photographed by Will Watt. Seven Mile Beach, which officially opened in December 2025, is the first newbuild for Clayton, DeVries & Pont, with partners Mike Clayton and Mike DeVries leading the design for a group led by Hobart native and tour pro Mathew Goggin. The direct route down the right side of the 496-yard hole leaves a blind second shot, with the green obscured by dunes. Those that drive far and left will be able to see the target but will need another long and accurate shot to reach it in two. For most, a lay-up will be required into the crumpled landscape below the green. The hole, which plays to a backdrop of Tiger Head Bay, is one of only seven on the course with bunkers.
