ABOUT THE COURSE
THE GRANGE GOLF CLUB
Grange, South Australia
Par: 72 Yardage: 6,946
The Grange’s two internationally rated courses (West and East) will be used as a composite layout for LIV Golf Adelaide
Holes 9-10 and 12-18 of the East course, redesigned by LIV Golf CEO and Commissioner Greg Norman in 2012, will provide hole Nos. 1-9 for the composite course
The back nine of the West course, redesigned by former Australian pro Mike Clayton, will provide hole Nos. 10-18 for the composite course
The East course has been ranked among Australia’s top 50 courses and was the site of Norman’s first professional win in 1976
The West course hosted the 2016 and 2019 Women’s Australian Open and is a quintessential sand belt layout
Rough has been growing since early February to provide defense off the tee, while firm and fast greens also will challenge players
