Golf & Gourmet in Australia's Wine Heartland
The Barossa Valley is world-renowned for its wine — but it also offers golfers a chance to play relaxed, scenic rounds surrounded by rolling vineyards, charming villages, and cellar doors. Just over an hour from Adelaide, the Barossa blends regional hospitality with wide-open fairways, warm sunshine, and a gourmet golf holiday unlike any other.
Best Time to Visit?
The Barossa is best enjoyed from March to May and September to November, when vineyard colours are vibrant, local events are in full swing, and golf conditions are ideal.
TIP: Travel in autumn (April) for vintage season — when the region comes alive with wine festivals, fresh produce, and cooler mornings perfect for early tee times.
Travel & Transport
Located just 70 minutes from Adelaide CBD, the Barossa is an easy self-drive escape via the Northern Expressway. You’ll find courses, wineries, and boutique accommodation all within close reach of towns like Tanunda, Angaston, and Nuriootpa.
TIP: Add a hire car or private transfer to create your own golf-and-wine trail, combining scenic rounds with tastings and local dining.
Booking Tee Times
The region’s signature course is Tanunda Pines Golf Club, set among iconic vineyards and towering gums. Additional options include Barossa Valley Golf Club in Nuriootpa, and Kapunda Golf Club a little further north — all offering peaceful play, welcoming locals, and lush countryside backdrops.
TIP: Book Tanunda Pines in advance for weekends, and ask us about pairing your round with a long lunch or local wine tour. Many clubs also offer twilight or 9-hole afternoon options for relaxed travel days.
