About the course
Three sixes by the sea — play 6, 12 or 18 from the clubhouse
Robe Golf Course is a public, 18-hole, par-72 course in Robe, South Australia, established in 1924. It is laid out as three loops of six holes — the Ocean 6, the Dunes 6 and the Town 6 — each starting and finishing at the clubhouse, so players can choose to play 6, 12 or 18 holes. The Dunes 6, set among natural sand dunes, was designed by Neil Crafter. On-site facilities include a pro shop.
Robe enjoys a strong reputation for its unusual three-loop configuration, which lets visitors tailor their round and return to the clubhouse between each set of six. Players consistently praise the condition of the course, particularly the greens, with the dune holes often singled out as the most memorable and scenic stretch. Reviewers note the variety on offer — from challenging, tightly framed holes that reward straight hitting to the historic Town section with its small, deceptive greens. The friendly pro shop staff and good value for money are recurring themes, and many describe the ocean and dune views as a real highlight. The overall impression is of a relaxed, welcoming course that golfers are keen to come back and play again.
