Kooyonga Golf Club

Welcome to Kooyonga Golf Club, a wonderful example of a championship golf course in undulating sand hills just 15 minutes from the central business district of Adelaide. Kooyonga has been the venue for many international and interstate championships and has always enjoyed a high ranking amongst private clubs in Australia.

The clubhouse is a beautiful modern building with the traditional elements you would expect. From the Club’s dining areas and terraces you can relax and enjoy the sweeping panoramic views of the golf course – as close as you can get to the golf course without actually playing.

Following golf the women enjoyed lunch in the Centenary Room to honour the life and achievements of the late Judy Crafter.

We are deeply saddened to inform members of the passing of Life Member Dorothy (Dot) Duval. Dot joined Kooyonga in 1958 and was a member for over 67 years. She sadly passed away on Saturday 21 June and our thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

Dot had several outstanding achievements at Club, National and International levels. Her golfing highlights included an Australian Junior title in 1957, being selected in the Australian Tasman Cup team which won in 1958 and winning the State Champion of Champions in 1967. On a club level, Dot won an incredible 14 Club Championships (a record which stands today) among many incredible club titles and pennant victories.

Her contributions as Women’s Captain and outstanding golfing resume were recognised in 2012 when she was granted life membership of Kooyonga. Dot will be sadly missed by all that knew her.

In the lead up to this years US Open the Golf Shop team ran a ‘Guess the Winner’ competition.

There were 87 entries, with several members submitting multiple guesses. Unfortunately nobody picked the winner (J. J. Spaun) or runner up (Rob MacIntyre).

The best guess was by Damian Gallagher & Bob Jones, both picking Viktor Hovland, who finished third. With J. J. Spaun holing the birdie putt on the 72nd hole (to finish at -1), Damian’s guess of -2 took out the win! Congratulations Damian!

Established 1923

The origins of Kooyonga Golf Club can be traced back to a day in 1922 when a train strike caused Mr HC (Cargie) Rymill to take a tram rather than a train to Henley Beach. A ‘For Sale’ sign on a tract of swamp and sand dune country known as May’s Paddock prompted him to break that journey and on a closer inspection he knew that he had discovered the ideal site for a magnificent golf course.
