Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Blackwood Golf Course without battling the elements?

We've found late autumn (April-May) or early spring (September-October) offers the most comfortable conditions at Blackwood. You'll avoid the scorching summer heat and the chillier, wetter winter months, making for a much more enjoyable round.

What makes Blackwood's layout stand out from other courses in South Australia?

Blackwood truly distinguishes itself with its dramatic elevation changes and tight, tree-lined fairways. You'll need to think strategically off the tee, as errant shots often find trouble in the dense native bushland, demanding precision over raw power.

We consider Blackwood excellent value, especially given its challenging layout and well-maintained greens. Expect green fees to be moderate for a course of this caliber, and booking online often secures a slightly better rate.

What's the biggest challenge at Blackwood, and do you have any specific tips for a first-timer?

The undulating terrain and the need for accurate iron play into elevated or downhill greens are Blackwood's real tests. We highly recommend walking the course if you're fit enough - it gives you a better feel for the slopes and helps with club selection, especially on the back nine.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Blackwood after a round?

The clubhouse at Blackwood offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere perfect for recounting your shots. You'll find a well-stocked bar and a casual bistro with classic pub fare, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy the views over the course.
