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.
Glenelg is Adelaide’s most popular beachside suburb. The iconic City-to-Bay Tram terminates here and if you are into trivia, you will know Glenelg also has the best known palindromic place name in Australia.
Established in 1836, Glenelg is the oldest European settlement on mainland South Australia. Today, there are still some visible links back to its earliest decades, including the town hall building and the now named Glenelg Jetty Hotel, which dates back to 1869. The past decade has seen the Jetty Rd precinct of Glenelg transformed and you will now find plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars lining the strip.
One thing you won’t find in Glenelg is the golf club. It is actually in the adjoining suburb of Novar Gardens and was originally opened for play in 1926, having been crafted by Herbert ‘Cargie’ Rymill, who had helped found Royal Adelaide Golf Club and was behind the creation of the nearby Kooyonga course….
