Course was in great nick and the $70 deal is well worth it. Be a prick to walk.
Only tjing that surprised me was how short it was. There are 2 par 4's thst you can drive. I went over the back of one.
Would definately play it again!


Not a fan of Mt Lofty, too hilly & short for my liking. Is also very unforgiving if you find yourself in the scrub off the tee.

A nett 66 won the day but I was nowhere near it. Course was in good nick which is full credit to the ground staff (two paid employees) and a whole heap of volunteers.


Was away working in Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago and played there i thought it was a great course. I really enjoyed it if i was to bitch about anything it would only be finding the next Tee off from the previous green son were in interesting spots with no map of where the next hole was!

Playing Tanunda tomorrow morning looking forward to it as i've never played there before

Yeah you are right. I sometimes have to scratch my head and think about where the next tee block is. I might bring it up next time I play there.
Meanwhile, played Balgowlah in Sydney today. It's a 9-hole public course and very interesting.

Played tanunda today and was very impressed with it as a whole. Score wise was ok my first 9 was scratchy but come home well had a run of 4 pars in a row I was pretty happy with that, finished with a score of 90 as I said I was happy with that.

Playing Lameroo either tomorrow or Monday depending on how hot it is whilst stuck at the inlaws farm in the country even a bad days golf is better than a good day here let me tell you! :lol:

On a side note my mate I played with today's parents have put on offer in on the waikeriegf course so could be some free rounds coming up!

Lameroo in the best nick I have seen it Carey. Played Saturday.
Will be very dry, but fairways are nice. Some parts are patchy due to sprinkler problems and hot weather.
Getting an extra 15-20 metres of run from the tee
Play to the pins because greens are soft and they not running true as there is a bit of couch grass growing through
Pretty short course and good for all levels of play
Enjoy
Watch out for A.Ferme in the pines....

Played the Pat today. Course besides 1 temp green is in not bad nick. Shot a 3 over back 9 after a horrible front 9. Ended up with 84. pretty happy as the wind was up.

Kick off the year at South Lakes this Sunday. I expect a dry course with a lot of run on the fairways!

Front nine usually makes or breaks the card. I find the back nine quite easy if you pull your head in and play the fairways. 84 a pretty decent escape Schimma!

South Lakes in really good nick at the moment- best I've seen it in 2 or 3 years.

Started horribly with a 46 but came home in 39 which was encouraging. Now I need to get a few games in a row to build on it!
