Situated midway between Melbourne and Adelaide on National Highway One, the course with a par of 72 over 6014 metres with an ACR of 71, is highly ranked and recognised in Australia’s Top 100 courses.

Located just five kilometres from the centre of the city on Attamurra Road on what was once rolling sandhills, the course is undulating with many of the holes played from elevated tees. The fairways are lush and tree lined, the greens are large, challenging and very true. The course is extremely well bunkered with conditions excellent all year round.

After a major reconstruction in 1977 the course has matured into a true test of golf. It is very picturesque with its blend of native and exotic trees and shrubs with an abundance of bird life and the occasional kangaroo. The club has won awards for garden beautification and is consistently listed in Australia’s top one hundred courses.

Visitors are most welcome to the relaxed country atmosphere, the fairways are uncrowded and the green fees are moderate. Golfing groups are particularly welcome. The club is proud of its reputation for hospitality and on maintaining the course and facilities to the highest standard.

Rupert Stewart, a golf professional from Adelaide, was the original designer of the course, but today’s layout must largely be credited to Brian and Murray Crafter, well known Adelaide golf professionals, who redesigned the course in 1972.

The 70 hectares of the course were planted with a mixture of Rye, Couch. local Poa Annua and Bent grass. Today this superlative country course has approximately 800 members.

Mount Gambier is a truly beautiful golf course, with wonderful fairways and greens and a reasonable mix of holes.
In fact, the first hole is perhaps disappointingly plain, and possibly the only criticism one could have. It is long and has nice views but gently dog legs to the right and is very exposed from the south.
After a string of five par 4’s to start you get to the 6th and a neat little par 3 to a green protected by two large bunkers in front of the green. In fact the par 3’s are a feature of Mount Gambier with the 8th and 16th also great holes.
The course is also blessed, we believe, with a sensational finish. Two par 4’s, the 17th a brute of 400 metres which requires power, the 18th exactly 100 metres shorter and requiring precision off the tee and with your second to the well protected green.
A superb course that you would think would be great all year round.

This beautifully groomed and prepared course rewards good shots and severely punishes bad ones. The greens are fast and true. Fairways are tight, even from good grass. Hospitality at the 19th is outstanding. I’d rank it above all of the resort course I’ve ever played, with the exception of Laguna Keys. The resident pro Damien Swadling is an excelent teacher, stocks a good shop and provides very good service. Proximity of wineries,good restaurants and tourism opportunities makes it even more appealing to visitors. Top course, good local company on an under used course.

Major refurbishment of the course over the last 3 years has made this the best country course in SA, and in my view in the top 5 courses in the state. From the ultra testing 410m par 4 first, to the tricky par 4 310m 18th, each hople presents its own unique challenges. Fairways are all in good condition, with a number of holes featuring couch. Greens are very true and whilst not lightning fast are quickish. Highly recommended. Pro shop is very friendly and well stocked too.
