Mawson Lakes Golf Course

A country feel in the city — a friendly public 9 in Adelaide's north

Mawson Lakes Golf Course is a public 9-hole course in Mawson Lakes, South Australia, playing to a par of 34 over 2,655 metres. The layout features six mapped bunkers, and a second loop from different tees lets players make up a full 18 holes. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, clubhouse, cart hire, club hire, coaching and parking.

Often described as a pleasant suburban outing with a genuine country feel, this is a relaxed spot where social golfers and members rub shoulders. Players frequently praise the conditioning, with greens and fairways generally kept in good shape for a public course, and the rolling, "roller coaster" greens at the 6th and 7th singled out as a fun challenge — all without much trouble from sand. Reviewers tend to highlight the easygoing, casual atmosphere and the inviting 19th-hole clubhouse as a perfect place for a post-round drink. While the warm welcome and friendly staff feature in most accounts, the occasional visitor has felt the experience less relaxed, so impressions can vary. Overall it carries a reputation as an accessible, good-value round that players say they'd happily come back for.
