Episode Thirteen - Mat Goggin and 7 Mile Beach

We kick off the new year with a bang, chatting to Mat Goggin, the man behind arguably the most hotly anticipated golf course opening of 2023. Designed and built by Clayton DeVries & Pont on a glorious coastal site in the Tasmanian capital of Hobart, 7 Mile Beach promises to be a must-see course for passionate golfers. It has been a while in the making, and will hopefully see play within the coming twelve months. We talk with Mat a little about his professional golf career, living in the USA, the site at 7 Mile Beach and most importantly the new course, as well as the impending development of a second course next door at 5 Mile Beach. Hobart, tourism, project management, course design and other topics round out a fascinating discussion spanning more than an hour. We thank Mat so much for his time – it was a genuine pleasure chatting with him. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did.
