BARNBOUGLE'S fairways have never looked better.

For stray golfers with a tendency to hook or slice then wish for a drink, this was the time to do so.

That is, if you don't mind a queue, as thousands of spectators lined marquees, drinks in hand, turned the state's premier golf course into a sea of polo colour.

Tourism Tasmania's social media experts were quick to share images of the 2016 Barnbougle Polo around the world to raise the event's profile outside Northern Tasmania.

"To not only have an elite golf offering here, but have a world-class polo offering is just another string to their already impressive bow," chief executive John Fitzgerald said.

"We think this event can become something of national significance soon.

"While it is largely an event attended by Tasmanians at this stage, we're starting to see interstate visitation and no doubt the reputation of this event will build."

Barnbougle Dunes has already been ranked in the top 50 golf destinations in the world, attracting thousands of visitors each year for the unique golfing experience.

But never had sport met fashion at the course and the result rivalled any horse meet the state's has seen.

Wide brim hats - the wider the better under the beaming sun - were the order of the day for ladies, while most men chose to cool off with the sponsor's beer.

Barnbougle event manager Penelope Sattler was thrilled the curiosity that drew spectators new to polo last year did not wear off for the second event.

Selling more than 3000 tickets before the day proved as much.

"Last year was put together very quickly," Ms Sattler said.

"So we were very fortunate with the response that we got again and the number that we have got in attendance."

Organisers took the best part of two weeks to convert the golf fairway into the picturesque polo setting.

Ms Sattler admitted "we know events but not to this scale" and felt it was a learning curve to turn the novel occasion into an iconic drawcard.

"We put the polo field in and it was just ready for last summer, so we decided to do this event again, get it started and see how we go," she said.
