Royal Adelaide Returns to Women’s Australian Open Spotlight
Royal Adelaide is no stranger to hosting elite championship golf.
The celebrated South Australian course previously staged the Women’s Australian Open in 1994, 2017 and 2020.
Its past champions include some of the most accomplished players in women’s golf.
Previous Women’s Australian Open Champions at Royal Adelaide
| Year | Champion |
|---|---|
| 1994 | Annika Sörenstam |
| 2017 | Jang Ha-na |
| 2020 | Inbee Park |
The 2027 tournament will mark the fourth time Royal Adelaide has hosted the women’s national Open.
Founded in 1892, Royal Adelaide is renowned for its links-style architecture and historical connection to celebrated golf course designer Dr. Alister MacKenzie.
MacKenzie’s visit in 1926 helped shape the course’s distinctive character, incorporating the natural sand dunes into its design.
The venue features strategically positioned bunkers, undulating fairways and demanding greens that reward accurate ball striking and thoughtful course management.
Royal Adelaide has also hosted nine men’s Australian Open championships, adding to its reputation as an important part of Australian golf history.
Hannah Green’s Historic 2026 Victory Sets the Stage
The 2027 championship follows an important breakthrough for Australian women’s golf.
Hannah Green claimed the 2026 Women’s Australian Open at Kooyonga Golf Club in March, securing a dramatic one-stroke victory.
Green finished at 11-under-par 277 after a closing two-under 70, holding off fellow Australian Cassie Porter and France’s Agathe Laisné.
Porter produced an extraordinary final-round 62, but Green maintained her advantage to claim the title.
The victory made Green the first Australian to win the national women’s Open since Karrie Webb captured her fifth title in 2014.
Green’s success formed part of a remarkable three-tournament winning streak in early 2026, helping her reach a career-best fifth in the women’s world rankings.
Her triumph also demonstrated the excitement a home champion can generate for Australian golf.
Although Green is the defending champion, her participation in the 2027 event has not yet been confirmed in the latest announcement.
The official field will become clearer as the tournament approaches.
South Australia Strengthens Its Place in Championship Golf
The 2027 Women’s Australian Open will be the second edition delivered under a multi-year partnership involving Golf Australia, the South Australian Government and the South Australian Tourism Commission.
The agreement is designed to secure major golf championships for the state while supporting tourism and the continued development of women’s golf.
Golf Australia and PGA of Australia General Manager of Major Events and Operations Antonia Beggs welcomed the return to Adelaide.
She emphasized that the long-term partnership provides an opportunity to strengthen the event and create an improved experience for players and spectators.
WPGA Tour of Australasia CEO Karen Lunn also welcomed Royal Adelaide’s return as host, highlighting the significance of Green’s 2026 victory and the prospect of another international championship in South Australia.
The tournament will take place during a busy month for Adelaide’s events calendar.
The Adelaide Fringe, WOMADelaide and Adelaide Festival are all expected to contribute to significant visitor activity across the city during March.
That wider calendar creates an opportunity to introduce international golf spectators to South Australia’s tourism attractions.
North Adelaide Set to Host Future Australian Opens
Royal Adelaide’s 2027 hosting duties form part of a longer-term plan for major golf tournaments in South Australia.
Beginning in 2028, the newly upgraded North Adelaide Public Golf Course is scheduled to host Australian Open championships under a separate long-term agreement.
The redevelopment aims to provide a championship-standard public golf facility close to Adelaide’s city center.
South Australian government announcements indicate the venue is expected to stage three men’s and three women’s Australian Opens through 2034, beginning with the men’s championship in 2028.
The arrangements represent a significant commitment to keeping major national golf events in South Australia.
For the women’s championship, the immediate focus remains Royal Adelaide and the March 2027 tournament.

What Happens Next?
With the dates and venue finalized, attention will turn toward player commitments and additional tournament announcements.

It will also bring the championship back to a course associated with previous winners including Sörenstam, Jang and Park.
Whether Green returns to defend her title remains to be confirmed, but the stage is now set for another important week in Australian women’s golf.
From March 11–14, 2027, Royal Adelaide Golf Club will once again welcome the world’s leading women golfers as the Australian Open continues its South Australian chapter.
