They say …“what a difference a day makes” .. in this case, what a difference 6 months has made at the Club. 6 months ago we were looking forward to seeing the end of our builders, and the completion of the most significant building project the Club had undertaken in recent times.
Above, Stage 5 completed - New breezeway and Associate’s Locker Room
6 months on the additions and associated works have settled in and are functioning as planned. The breezeway has reduced the clutter of the previous breezeway and provides an entry which is both welcoming, and a standard befitting Royal Adelaide. The peripheral landscaping works have started to take hold, and together with the remodelled carparking, complete the transformation.

Minor works are now complete to the southern end of the Clubhouse in what was the Associates Locker Room. These works include a new verandah, entry foyer, and associated amenities, with direct access to the kitchen and Mixed Lounge. The Associates Room has been renovated and is now known as “The Board Room”. The new centrally located space (formed from the footprint of the old Associates Locker Room) has been transformed , and now allows for a very special, fully glazed vista through the new foyer to the 14th hole. A wonderful space, and now named “The Bridge Room”, (which will give you a heads up as to its intended use) will provide additional flexibility to our function capabilities including conference and seminar facilities. The soft opening of these spaces will be as the players’ lounge for the Australian Women’s Open. Plans are underway for a members opening in March to bring in our 125th golfing season.
