A brand new clubhouse has been unveiled by the City of Marion at the Seacliff Golf Course marking the start of a new era for the 9-hole course.

Formerly known as the Marion Golf Park, the course is famous for its breathtaking views of Adelaide’s coastline across 9 holes.

However, the club has had its limitations attracting membership after the clubrooms were knocked down around 20 years ago for safety reasons.

The club’s members have lobbied hard for a new space for its golfers and now that has finally been delivered with Marion Mayor Kris Hanna unveiling the new clubhouse on Friday evening.

“For nearly 20 years our local golfers have had to make do with a one-room “temporary” clubhouse,” Mayor Hanna said.

“We are thrilled to reveal this brand new clubhouse for both members and visitors to enjoy at this community golf club with beautiful views of the coast.”

The Seacliff Golf Course clubrooms opened during a stunning twilight event, with more than 200 guests soaking up some of the best golf course views in the state.

The free community event featured live acoustic music, food and soft drinks for all, a putting competition and a golf simulator.

The key features of the $6m Seacliff Golf Course redevelopment include a new clubhouse with bar and kitchen facilities, a new Pro-shop, landscaping improvements as well as a new car park. 

This clubhouse is built in the same spot as the previous demolished facility connecting the 1st tee, 9th green, the practice green, driving range, and car park. 

Council has also improved water supply to the course to ensure it remains a sustainable public golf course for years to come.

The redevelopment works have taken around 12 months to complete.

Council is aiming to increase participation and activity at the site through the delivery of a quality 9-hole public golf course.

Approximately 15,000 rounds of golf are played on the course every year. The Council anticipates that number could increase up to 25,000 rounds with upgraded facilities.

The original 9-hole public golf course was first established in 1980. There are currently about 80 Seacliff Golf Club members and that number is expected to grow.

The clubhouse, pro-shop and course will be managed by Belair Turf Management.
