Sport and Recreation
The local golf course - mostly played at night with glowing balls, to avoid daytime temperatures - is completely free of grass, and golfers take a small piece of "turf" around to use for teeing off. As a result of correspondence between the two clubs, the Coober Pedy golf club is the only club in the world to enjoy reciprocal rights at The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.
The town also has an Australian rules football club, the Coober Pedy Saints, who were created in 2004 and compete in the Woomera & Districts Football League. Due to the town's extreme isolation, to play matches the Saints must make round trips of over 900km to Roxby Downs, where the rest of the league's teams are located.
