Coober Pedy Opal Fields Golf Club

Golf on a course with no grass - oiled-sand greens, a strip of mat, and a reciprocal arrangement with St Andrews.

Why it belongs on the list

Field highlights

  • Play golf on a course with no grass - sand ‘greens’ and a carry-your-own strip of turf
  • Holds a reciprocal membership with the Royal & Ancient at St Andrews, Scotland
  • Often played at night to dodge the heat

One of Coober Pedy’s great quirks - a genuinely grassless golf course where players carry a small piece of turf to tee off from. Visitors are welcome; confirm access and any green fees locally.
