Oakbank (Alternate Tees) Course
Oakbank Golf Club
About this course
Oakbank Golf Club sits in the Adelaide Hills, approximately 40 kilometers east of Adelaide in the township of Oakbank. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with elevation changes and native vegetation that distinguish it from the flatter layouts closer to the coast. The club has served the local community since the early twentieth century, providing golf in a rural setting that retains much of its original landscape character. The layout makes use of the natural topography, with holes routed across hillsides and through stands of eucalyptus. The alternate tees referenced in the course name allow the club to vary playing length and angles, a common practice at courses where space and terrain permit multiple teeing grounds. This flexibility accommodates different skill levels and provides variety for regular members. The conditioning reflects the climate of the Adelaide Hills, with seasonal variations typical of South Australian courses at elevation. Oakbank functions primarily as a member club serving the surrounding rural communities and Adelaide Hills residents. The clubhouse and facilities maintain a traditional country club atmosphere, focused on accessible golf rather than championship ambitions. The course offers a straightforward test suited to social and competitive club play, with the terrain providing the primary defense. For visitors exploring golf in the Adelaide Hills region, Oakbank represents the type of community course that has anchored Australian country towns for generations.

Getting there
The journey to Oakbank Golf Club begins at Adelaide Airport, a comfortable forty-minute drive east into the Adelaide Hills. As the coastal plains give way to undulating vineyard country and eucalyptus-clad ridges, the road climbs gently through historic townships like Hahndorf before reaching the quiet village of Oakbank, long known for its Easter racing carnival and cool-climate charm. The club sits tucked into this pastoral landscape, where the air sharpens and the pace slows - a world apart from the city, yet near enough to feel like a well-kept secret among those who know the Hills.
