About 850 kilometers north of Adelaide sits Coober Pedy, an opal mining town that is also called the “underground town” as most of its residents live, well, under the ground. It features the Coober Pedy Opal Fields Golf Club, whose 18-hole course opened in 1996 and where the fairways don’t have a single blade of grass. In fact, you can find a sign on the course that says “keep off grass.” The fairways are maintained by spreading local white sandstone on rough areas, and the greens, called scrapes, are made of local quarry dust mixed with waste oil. Tee time for its members include twilight golf on Fridays during summer as well as a number of night golf sessions the rest of the year.
