The upgrade of the North Adelaide Public Golf Course will transform the space into a leading golfing destination and an improved public space that recognises the parklands’ cultural significance.
It will offer expanded walking and riding trails and greater access for golfing enthusiasts and the thousands of South Australians who regularly visit and pass through the area.
The completed course will significantly boost the growth of golf in the state among under-represented demographics including young people and women. From 2028 the course will host LIV Golf Adelaide and the Women’s Australian Open.
Design and development
Key elements of the redevelopment will include an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course, driving range, and practice areas to host the LIV Golf Adelaide tournament in 2028, with work expected to commence in mid-2026.
A modern clubroom facility, appropriate for its parkland setting, is also in concept development stages.
Defining principles incorporated in the design include minimising impacts to existing significant trees, no permanent fencing, and that the golf course remains a public course for the enjoyment of all South Australians.
For every tree that is removed during the project, at least three new trees or seedlings will be planted.
The course and its surrounds – including Karrawirra Pari (River Torrens) directly adjacent to the site – hold strong cultural and spiritual importance to the Kaurna people.
To ensure respectful management of heritage and culture and to incorporate Kaurna values, stories, art, language and history, Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation, Kaurna Elders and Traditional Owners are being engaged throughout the project and its delivery.
