Golfing in Wakefield Regional Council
North of Adelaide, Wakefield offers four public courses that cover the full spread of country golf, from a championship layout to sand-green quirk. Balaklava Golf Club is the standout, a fully watered 5,987-metre course that is playable year round, with wide, forgiving fairways, no bunkers and greens that draw consistent praise, making it a fine choice for golfers of every standard. Port Wakefield Golf Club, established in 1923, and Snowtown Golf Club both offer 18 holes of relaxed country golf; Port Wakefield in particular stays green and well kept through winter and has a friendly membership. Owen Golf Club is a nine-holer that plays to par 72 on scrape greens, and it is remembered for a par 4 that crosses the main road, with the town's water tower as a landmark.
