2026 Adelaide Golf Invitational Even more on the big Five!

ROYAL ADELAIDE GOLF • The roots trace back to an early “Adelaide Golf Club” founded in 1870 – but that original club folded a few years later.

• The current club was founded on 11 August 1892 by 32 members. The first competition was held a couple of months later, on 8 October 1892, in what is today the North Parklands.

• The club moved a few times (initially to a nine-hole course at Glenelg) before acquiring land near Grange in 1904. Eventually, this land at Seaton became home.

• The “links at Seaton” officially opened on 30 June 1906.

• In 1923 the club was granted the prefix “Royal” by approval from King George V, becoming “Royal Adelaide Golf Club.”

• A major milestone came in 1926 when the celebrated golf-course architect Alister MacKenzie reviewed and reworked the layout – reshaping it to integrate the natural sand dunes into play rather than circumvent them • Over the decades, various changes were made, but the original link-style, dune-based character remained. In modern times (since around 2012), golf-course designer Tom Doak and his team at Renaissance Golf have overseen renovations – refining bunkers, realigning tees, widening fairways and rebuilding some greens – often lauded as bringing the course even closer to MacKenzie’s vision.

The Course – Layout & Character: • Royal Adelaide is an 18-hole private links golf course.

• Par is 72. From the back (Blue) tees the length is 6,552 m (approximately 7,160 yards).

• The terrain reflects its links heritage: rolling sand dunes, native grasses, pine framing, “waste” sandy areas, pot bunkers, grassy swales and subtle ground undulations.

• The course changes character with the seasons – in summer it plays firm and fast, highlighting the links roots; in spring (and in wind or native rough conditions) it can test shot-making and strategy.

• There are multiple tee sets catering to different skill levels, which means the course can offer both a friendly experience for regular play and a stern championship test when set up hard. Prestige, Championships & Status The Royal Adelaide Record: • Royal Adelaide has hosted the Australian Open nine times, with the most recent being in 1998.

• It has also played host to the Women’s Australian Open (first in 1994, and again in 2017) among other major tournaments.

• Over the years it has hosted the Australian Amateur Championship many times (and other state/national tournaments • In rankings, it remains among Australia’s elite courses – as of 2025, it's listed 9th in Australia.

• Its combination of classic design pedigree (MacKenzie + links-style), natural landscape, and refined modern upgrades give it a strong reputation globally among classic golf courses.

GLENELG GOLF CLUB • Glenelg GC was established in 1927 (originally laid out from 1926) by architect Herbert 'Cargie' Rymill. The first 9 holes opened in 1927, with a full 18-hole course soon after.

• In 1947 – after some of the club’s land was acquired for what became the nearby airport – the course was reconfigured under architect Vern Morcom to adapt to the changed terrain.

• A major, transformative redesign began in 1998: the club engaged design team Crafter + Mogford Golf Strategies (led by Neil Crafter in partnership with tournament-promoter and longtime member Bob Tuohy) to renew the course – clearing overgrown vegetation, rebuilding bunkers, changing turf types, and restoring more of a “links-style” feel.

• By 2004 the major works were complete, and since then Glenelg GC has continued to make incremental improvements under a course-enhancement plan.

• In short: Glenelg has evolved deliberately through the decades – from its original 1920s layout, through mid-century reconfigurations, to a thorough modernization designed to emphasize links-style charm, sustainability, and strategic golf design.

Here’s what defines the golf course today: • Glenelg is an 18-hole private championship course. Par is 71. According to recent data: from the back tees (Black), the course plays at a rating of 74, slope 139.

• Its fairways are Santa Ana couch grass, and greens are bent grass – a smooth, premium putting surface after the redesign.

• One of the course’s most distinctive features is its reverted-edge bunkering – the pot bunkers with their steep faces and sand filled in a way that evokes classic sand-belt or links-style courses. Many greens and fairways feature these, giving a strong strategic and aesthetic character.

• The site occupies 49 hectares. The terrain uses natural undulations: fairways are gently rolling, there are wetlands, some native vegetation, and stands of pine trees (especially around “Pine Hill” in the middle of the property), giving variety and character to the layout.

• The course demands accuracy and good shot-making: because it's not extremely long compared to modern “bombers”’ courses, success depends more on precision – placement off the tee, thoughtful approach shots, and good short-game.

Here’s what people frequently praise about Glenelg GC: • Classic links-style feel with modern standards. The redesign brought back or emphasised traditional elements – bunkering, open fairways, strategic hazards – but paired them with high-quality turf (couch fairways, bent greens) and good maintenance.

• Conditioning & turf quality. Many reviews highlight how well the course is maintained: greens roll true, fairways are firm and forgiving when needed but offer good challenge. The ongoing enhancement plans have helped elevate surface conditions.

• Strategic and varied layout. The mixture of bunkers, subtle elevation, wetlands, pine-lined corridors – plus the compact footprint – demands a thoughtful game. It’s not about overpowering the course, but playing it well.

• Environment & character. The club has invested in native vegetation, wetlands, and biodiversity – making it more than just manicured turf. This gives a more natural feel and helps maintain local ecosystems.

• Club facilities & atmosphere. From clubhouse amenities (bar, bistro/restaurant, pro shop, practice greens, driving range/shortgame areas) to member culture – many describe Glenelg as welcoming, personable, with a good balance of tradition and modern convenience.

• Glenelg reached a new high in recognition: in 2024, it was ranked #32 in the national “Top 100 Golf Courses” list by Australian Golf Digest – the highest ranking in its history.

THE GRANGE GOLF CLUB • The Grange Golf Club comprises two full 18-hole championship courses – the “East Course” and the “West Course.”

• The club has a long history: the original course opened in the 1920s. Over time both courses have been significantly redesigned to meet modern standards and offer a high-quality championship-level golfing experience • The club offers more than just golf: there are substantial facilities – driving range, practice nets, multiple putting and chipping greens, a pro shop, clubhouse with bar/restaurant, locker rooms, and even a gym and physio clinic • In short: The Grange isn’t just a course but a comprehensive golf facility.

East Course • The East Course was redeveloped in 2012 by Greg Norman’s design team.

• It features a layout that begins on relatively flatter ground for the front-nine, then transitions into “prime golfing land” on the back-nine – offering more undulation, natural terrain, and character.

• The bunkering and green complexes are more modern and nuanced compared with the West – bunkers, swales, undulating greens, false fronts, collection bowls or drop-offs, which add subtle challenge to approach shots and short-game.

• The East tends to be a bit “tighter” and more technical – fairways are often narrower than West, especially around landing zones, demanding accuracy off the tee.

• On some holes, water and wetlands come into play – for example, small ponds or wetland-adjacent areas threaten certain fairways or approaches.

• Because of the tighter landing areas + tricky greens, this course rewards precision, good iron play, and course management over raw power.

West Course • The West Course has older origins (first opened in the 1920s/1926) but underwent a major redesign in 2007 under Mike Clayton Golf Design • The layout features wide corridors, pine-tree lined fairways (Callitris and Monterey pines), native grass rough and sandy wastes.

• Green complexes are more classical: tight greens, bunkers placed to catch both bad and slightly errant shots, and undulating ground around greens that make for interesting short-game challenges.

• The West course tends to feel more “classic” – tree-lined fairways, more forgiving width off the tee (especially compared to East), but still demanding accurate approach shots and short-game.

• Because of the wider corridors, power off the tee helps – long hitters may enjoy the relative forgiveness off the tee compared to East.

• The greens and bunkering reward precision – good iron play and well thought-out approaches shine, but mistakes around greens (wrong side of slope, bunker-heavy misses) can be punished.

• The combination of classic layout + recent redesign means the West offers a mix of tradition and modern standards.

LINKS LADY BAY GOLF • Links Lady Bay is a public-access sand-based links-style course located on the Fleurieu Peninsula an hour’s drive south of Adelaide (near Normanville / Lady Bay).

• The course was designed by Jack Newton, along with Graeme Grant and John Spencer – their only “from-scratch” links-type project, built on former farmland.

• It opened in stages: the first nine in 1998, and the full 18-hole layout was completed around 2000.

• The course is part of a resort complex, making it a “stay-and-play” option – good for a golf getaway.

• In short: It’s a modern Australian links course with coastal character – structured to give both challenging and enjoyable golf, and accessible even if you’re not a local club member.

• Links Lady Bay is firmly built as a “true St Andrews / links-style” course: sandy soils, sand-based fairways/greens, coastal plain terrain, natural undulations, native-vegetation framing, and design features that embrace wind and ground-game rather than forced carry over heavy rough.

• The routing is interesting: two loops of nine holes radiate from the resort clubhouse, with each hole changing direction from the previous. That means the wind can come at you from any compass point – a classic links trait that demands a strong feel for wind and strategic shot-making.

Course Specs • The course mixes hole types: there are generous fairways and reachable par-5s that reward distance, but also shorter par-4s and tricky par-3s that demand accuracy, imagination, and course-management.

• Because wind, variable lies, and subtle ground contours come into play often, the challenge shifts daily: what’s easy in calm weather may become a stern test in wind or firm conditions.

True Links Resort • Links Lady Bay isn’t just about golf: it’s part of a resort. There’s a clubhouse, pro shop, practice facilities (driving range, putting / chipping greens), and the resort offers accommodation – spa-suites with views over the course/ocean. Very amenable for a golfholiday or weekend getaway.

• The venue also caters to visitors (not just members) – it’s among the top public-access courses in South Australia / Australia.

• Because of the coastal / semi-natural environment, you can often have a more relaxed, open-air, scenic experience – kangaroos, native vegetation, coastal breezes: a contrast.

• Links Lady Bay Golf Club strikes a strong balance between classic links design, natural coastal beauty, and accessible publiccourse convenience. It may not carry the heritage or global renown of century-old British/Irish links, but as a modern Australian links course, it’s among the best – consistently ranked among the top 60–70 courses nationally. For a trip down the Fleurieu Peninsula, or a getaway combining golf + coast + comfort, Lady Bay is a top-tier choice.
