Turned up for a hit in the Thursday comp mindfull of the ’no golf over 38 degree rule’. It was 37. So the five of us went round in a group. Another dozen had played in the morning. Despite the heat we had an enjoyable round with the fairways in not to bad condition even in the drought. Greens were pretty good except for the thirteenth which was a house lawn.
With the par threes together it felt like ages between drives. Some toubles off the fairways,sand ,trees and gidgee. Always seemed to have a shot at the pin though. Better than most courses in the area but if you need a cart there are only three for hite. Bar doesn’t, open til late either! Very friendly when it does though.
Have to take half a star off for the very annoying hordes of midges however, bring gallons of Rid.
The Relic.

The last grass green course before Alice Springs if you are heading North, and the first since if you are heading South. A good course, well designed and in good condition. The fairways and greens were great, but don’t miss the fairway or you could find anything. An unusual layout in that each nine has two par 3’s back to back, so the 3rd and 4th are par 3’s and the 10th and 11th and they are the only par 3’s on the course. A par of 70 for the men, rated 70, and a par of 72 for ladies, rating 72. Well worth a game if you are in the area and the green fees of $25 are very reasonable.

port augusta is a pretty good course considering how dry the area is. the fairways are hard and dry as to be expected. the greens are hard and fast but are pretty good in comparison to some adelaide courses. the course is pretty open but the real problem lies in the layout. two par 3’s in a row on both the front and back nine. and holes 7 and 8 are 320m metre holes dead straight. there isn’t enough variety in the course. this can’t be blamed on the weather.

all in all its not a bad course. give it a try.

Port Augusta is often referred to as the 'Crossroads of Australia'. If your travelling around Australia from east to west or north to south you will pass through here at some stage. Most likely you will have been travelling through desert or dry area's and the sight of the golf course will give you a nice suprise. The fairways and greens are in very good condition, particularly considering the dry climate. For a desert course the rough is fairly friendly, with more tree's than bushes. There is even some water to hit over. The club sits on the side of a hill so there is a bit of relief to make things interesting. The clubhouse has one of the best views in Australia - you look across the first tee to the spectacular Flinders Ranges. Playing golf in the desert is a rare treat so bring your clubs if your passing through.
