Glenelg Golf Club

Recognised as one of Australia's premier golfing facilities, Glenelg Golf Club offers a world class challenge. The course complexity is envied by many rival clubs, while its strategic design elements, impeccable turf quality and beachside aspects provide for a truly memorable day of golf.

"Transformed by an extensive redesign, Glenelg is no longer just one of Adelaide's premier layouts. It has blossomed to become one of Australia's elite courses. " Brendan James (2013), Editor of Golf Australia magazine.

Grange Golf Club

They say you can't recreate history, but we are not so sure. Greg Norman has redesigned the East Course at The Grange Golf Club, so you can experience all the excitement, frustration and satisfaction that he did, when he won his first professional event here 36 years ago.

PAIRED WINE: Hentley Farm The Beauty Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

After your round of golf, The Grange Golf Club will be serving this elegant Shiraz from Hentley Farm, a boutique single estate vineyard set on the banks of the Greenock Creek, Seppeltsfield.

Kooyonga Golf Club is a wonderful example of a championship golf course in undulating sand hills just 15 minutes from the central business district of Adelaide.

After your round of golf, Kooyonga Golf Club will serve you with Rockford Basket Press Shiraz, a famous Shiraz from Rockford Wines, a Halliday five-star winery in the Barossa. You'll also enjoy an antipasto and cheese platter.

 

Royal Adelaide Golf Club

The Royal Adelaide is one of Australia's most famous golf courses. This traditional 'links' course has been the venue for many international and interstate matches and championships for over 100 years.

Paired Wine: Clarendon Hills Bakers Gully Syrah (McLaren Vale)

Attractions

Adelaide Central Markets

The Adelaide Central Market buzzes with life and colour all year round and is a special place for the regulars,who wouldn't shop anywhere else. Here you'll find a huge range of fresh food, all under one roof - fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, seafood, gourmet cheeses, bakery products, sweets, nuts and health foods. Shoppers can also take a break in some of the hippest cafes in Adelaide.a

It's the experience of shopping herethat makes people love to return again and again - to the noise, the fresh food smells, the variety, the colour and the atmosphere of an international meltingpot of food and cultures. The Adelaide Central Market is open Tuesday to Saturday every week.

Wine tours

Your wine adventure starts here, with over 200 cellar doors on Adelaide's doorstep. From Shiraz in the Barossa, to
Riesling in the Clare Valley and big reds in the Coonawarra, you'll be spoilt for choice.

We can arrange a wine tour to suit your needs with any one of the local tour companies we work with. Take a bus or sit back in style in a limousine and enjoy the rolling scenery as it glides by. Either way, you'll be well looked after.

Glenelg beach

Located only 10km from the heart of Adelaide City, Glenelg is a charming seaside resort set on the long sandy white shores of Holdfast Bay.

A short 25 minute trip, on a tram departing from the centre of Glenelg - Moseley Square, takes you into Victoria Square in the heart of Adelaide. So you can base yourself at seaside Glenelg, but you are just a short trip away from the entertainment options of the city
centre.

Adelaide Oval Tour

Adelaide Oval is widely regarded as the most picturesque test cricket ground in the world, with St Peter's Cathedral rising behind an elegant Edwardian scoreboard and Moreton Bay fig trees at the northern end. The oval has recently been developed and is now on the global map for a range of international and national entertainment and sporting events.

Take a tour of the oval with experienced guides who will guide you through the western grandstand, scoreboard and Clarrie Grimmett gates.

Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island, or "KI" to the locals, is the third largest island off the coast of Australia and a sanctuary for an array of Australian wildlife. It's rugged, natural beauty makes it the perfect place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with what and who is truly important to you. Just a short flight from Adelaide or a ferry ride from Cape Jervis, Kangaroo Island offers the opportunity to explore untouched bushland, fish on pristine beaches, view wildlife or go on an eco tour or charter.

Adelaide Fringe Festival

Adelaide Fringe is an annual open-access arts festival run over four weeks in Adelaide during February and March. The event is regarded as one of the most diverse arts festivals in the world, renowned for fresh ideas, spontaneity and fun.

National and international artists participate alongside home-grown talent, in art forms spanning cabaret, comedy, circus, dance, film, theatre, puppetry, music, visual art and design.

Adelaide Fringe literally takes over the entire city with 900 events staged inpop up venues in parks, warehouses, lane-ways and empty buildings as well as established venues such as theatres, hotels, art galleries, cafes and town
halls.

Over the years, our Four Reds golf breaks have become some of our most popular golf holiday packages, with both domestic and international clients. Launched in partnership with the South Australian Tourism Commission and all four Golf Clubs, the Four Reds golf packages aim to promote two of Adelaide’s best assets; it’s golf and its wine. Golfers from all over the world have come to Adelaide to experience its exceptional golf courses and world-class wine, in one golfing experience.

This unique holiday offers golfers the opportunity to play 18 holes on Glenelg Golf Club, Grange Golf Club, Kooyonga Golf Club and Royal Adelaide Golf Club, and after each game, enjoy a bottle of premium South Australian wine (valued at $100 or more), as well as a local, artisan tasting platter.

With all four of Adelaide’s premium golf courses located just a 20 minute drive from Adelaide’s CBD, golfers can stay in the heart of the city and have just a short drive to the golf course each morning. Alternatively, there is the option to stay in Glenelg, Adelaide’s vibrant beachside suburb. Take an early morning walk with the locals, along the tree-lined esplanade – spotting dolphins along the way - prior to playing a round of golf.

The 72 Hole Golf Challenge offers the perfect golf break for large groups of golfers seeking a unique, social golf and travel experience. Feedback from past groups regarding the Four Reds Golf Packages, has consistently been outstanding, with many opting to re-book the following year. It would be hard to match this great-value golf and wine experience anywhere in the world.

Any Four Reds golf trip can be tailored to meet your needs. Let us know what kind of accommodation you are looking for, how many days you would like to stay and how many rounds of golf you would like to play. Golf Explorer will take care of the rest.
