The Cliffs Kangaroo Island - South Australia
Darius Oliver is the golf architect building The Cliffs Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island is located off the coast of South Australia. Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest island after Tasmania and Melville Island. Kangaroo Island is approximately 112 kilometers (70 miles) southwest of Adelaide and is accessible by ferry from Cape Jervis which is located about 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Adelaide. The ferry ride takes approximately 45 minutes to reach the island. There are also regular flights to Kangaroo Island from Adelaide.
Sam Atkins is the founder/managing director of The Seafront Group & The Cliffs Kangaroo Island.
Previous project from Darius Oliver was on King Island in Tasmania, Australia building Cape Wickham Links with Mike DeVries in 2015. Cape Wickham is an acclaimed design which has won many awards from design critics. The challenging layout incorporates the natural contours of the land offering scenic ocean views.

Greenwood was previously the Course Manager at Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club and Superintendent at Kingston Heath.
