Little Para Golf Course

Fun 9-hole parkland Par 3 under Adelaide's River Red Gums

Little Para Golf Course is a public 9-hole parkland course in Paralowie, South Australia, playing to a par of 36 over 992 metres, with 7 mapped bunkers. The course is set up in a short Par 3 configuration designed around grass tees and large target greens. On-site facilities include a driving range, pro shop, restaurant/dining, clubhouse, coaching, parking, plus cart and club hire. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week, with bookings available online.

Little Para presents itself as an accessible, beginner-friendly venue that welcomes everyone from first-timers to seasoned players, and reviewers often highlight just how welcoming and helpful the staff are, particularly with younger and family groups. The driving range and the Shanx mini golf attraction draw consistent praise and add to the relaxed, fun-focused atmosphere. Opinions on the golf course itself are more mixed: while many enjoy the easygoing short-course experience, some recent visitors have expressed frustration over course conditioning and maintenance, including rough areas and temporary works affecting tees. Overall the impression is of a casual, community-oriented facility that shines on hospitality and variety, with conditioning being the most commonly noted area for improvement.
