About This Attraction

Balaklava Golf Club is located just over 100 kilometres north of the city of Adelaide and three kilometres east of the lower north township of Balaklava. It has been a colourful and integral part of the community since 1923. The course is an all year round, fully watered eighteen hole championship 5,987 metre golf course, par 72, with an Australian course rating of 72. It boasts outstanding fairways, practice green and nets and manicured greens amongst undulating sand hills. The course has been professionally designed to be a challenge to all golfers. Over the years, hundreds of trees have been planted to enhance the course's natural beauty. Many species of bird life call the course home and they compliment a relaxing day of golf. So why not try a round of golf at Balaklava and enjoy the idyllic country scenery and the abundant bird life as you play.
