About Alice Springs Golf Club

Alice Springs Golf Club operates an 18-hole, par-72 desert course at Desert Springs beneath the MacDonnell Ranges. The current course was designed and constructed during the early 1980s by five-time Open champion Peter Thomson and his business partner Michael Wolveridge. Published course-guide information gives a length of 6,196 metres.

The routing uses fully grassed fairways and greens within the arid Central Australian landscape, with rocky outcrops affecting play on several holes. The club's facilities include a driving range, practice greens, golf simulators, pro shop, bar and food service. The official club currently displays public green fees of A$40 for nine holes and A$60 for eighteen holes, although the page labels those rates as effective from 1 December 2024.

The course is an 18-hole desert golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,196m (6,776 yards). The course was designed by Mike Wolveridge and Peter Thomson. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Golf Simulator, Pro Shop, Club Hire, Buggy Hire, Restaurant, Bar.
