West Lakes

Woodville Gardens Golf Club started out in 1934 but it was forced to relocate in 1951 due to the post war building boom in Adelaide. On arrival at its new location close to Royal Adelaide and The Grange, the club changed its name to Riverside Golf Club, which subsequently became West Lakes Golf Club in 2011.

Partly open, partly tree-lined, the holes are laid out on sandy soil, with a good mix of straightaway and doglegging fairways that are carpeted in couch grass. Along with bent grass greens, these playing surfaces at West Lakes are of the highest order.

There have been many modifications to the layout over the years under the guidance of Neil Crafter. Latest changes include redesigns of the 4th, 5th, 16th, 17th and 18th, along with the introduction of new wetland areas along the eastern boundary of the property.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
