The Ultimate Guide to LIV Golf Adelaide 2026
LIV Golf Adelaide has quickly become a fixture on Australia’s sporting calendar, and LIV Golf Adelaide 2026 is shaping up to be another big summer weekend of golf, crowds and coastal weather.
If you’re planning a trip to Adelaide for the tournament, one choice will make the biggest difference to how smooth the weekend feels: where you stay. Proximity, flexibility and value matter – particularly if you’re travelling with friends or family.
What is LIV Golf Adelaide 2026?
LIV Golf Adelaide brings together leading professional golfers for a festival-style tournament at Grange Golf Club, on Adelaide’s west coast.
The 2026 tournament features teams like Ripper GC, led by Australian Cameron Smith, alongside international players such as Jon Rahm.
Live music rounds out the weekend, with Peking Duk opening on Thursday night following Adam Hyde’s standout Hottest 100 moment.
The weekend continues with Royel Otis on Friday, John Summit on Saturday, and FISHER closing things out on Sunday. This mix of high-level competition, live music and a relaxed summer setting has helped make Adelaide one of the most popular stops on the LIV Golf schedule.
Why staying close to the course matters
LIV Golf weekends are full of early starts and long days making convenience a high priority. Staying close to Grange Golf Course will:
-
Cut travel time on event days
-
Avoid inner-city parking and traffic
-
Offer a relaxing base for before and after play
For many visitors, the best option is accommodation that’s close to the course without feeling like a city stay.
Where to stay for LIV Golf Adelaide
Discovery Parks - Adelaide Beachfront
If proximity and a relaxed seaside vibe are what you want, Discovery Parks Adelaide Beachfront Park is one of the most practical places to stay during LIV Golf Adelaide 2026. Set directly on the beach, the park is a short five-minute drive to Grange Golf Club, making it one of the closest accommodation options to the tournament while still offering a quieter, coastal setting.
Why Adelaide Beachfront works well:
- Five minutes’ drive to Grange Golf Club
- Beachfront location for downtime after the event
- Easy access to West Beach, Henley Beach and nearby dining
- Flexible accommodation options for short or longer stays
- Short drive to Adelaide CBD dining and Nightlife
For visitors who prefer a more active beachside environment, Discovery Parks – West Beach offers a convenient alternative just south of Grange. Located within a well-serviced precinct, the park provides easy access to cafés, shared-use paths and facilities – making it a good fit for groups or longer stays.
Why West Beach works well:
- Less than fifteen minutes to Grange Golf Club
- Close to West Beach coastline and shared-use paths
- Walking distance to cafés, dining and local facilities
- Flexible accommodation options for couples, families and groups
- Quick drive to Adelaide CBD and airport
One of the advantages of staying at these locations is how easily the trip can extend beyond the tournament.
Turn LIV Golf into a proper beach escape, morning walks along the sand, afternoons at the course, and evening cook-ups by the water. With coastal cafés, walking paths and beachside views, there’s plenty to do between tee times.
Caravan Park vs hotel: A practical choice for groups
For groups, a caravan park just makes sense:
- Space to relax as a group with a choice of cabins, caravan sites and camping.
- Kitchen facilities and common areas to save on dining out
- Flexible stays if you want to extend for a couple of extra days by the coast
- Better value for groups (no splitting off into multiple hotel rooms)
More than just a golf weekend
For those with a little extra time, LIV Golf can also be the perfect way to kick off a longer South Australian stay.
