About the course
Historic Seaton links, 18-hole par 72 with a celebrated 3rd hole
Royal Adelaide Golf Course is a private, 18-hole links course at Seaton, South Australia, established in 1892. The par-72 layout measures 6,112 metres and has been shaped over time by designers Dan Soutar, Dr Alister Mackenzie and, more recently, Brian Slawnik/Tom Doak of Renaissance Golf. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and dining, coaching, plus cart and club hire. The course can be played from multiple tees to suit a range of players.
Affectionately known to members simply as "Seaton", Royal Adelaide enjoys a reputation as one of Australia's premier links and is held in high regard by visitors lucky enough to secure a round. Players consistently praise the traditional links character, the firm, beautifully manicured surfaces and the variety created by multiple playing lines that reward all standards. The par-3 third hole is a frequent favourite, singled out as a memorable highlight, while the heritage clubhouse and pro shop draw warm comments for their understated class and welcoming, attentive staff. Many reviewers describe a distinctly premium feel built from countless small touches, leaving a lasting impression of a course rich in history and tradition. Access is limited and membership famously sought-after, which only adds to the sense of occasion for those who play.
