Kooyonga Golf Club is a wonderful example of a championship golf course in the rich sandy soiled area just 15 minutes from the central business district of Adelaide.
One of the interesting features of Kooyonga are the various elevation changes which exist throughout the 18 holes. From the outside and until you actually play the golf course Kooyonga appears to be built on a relatively flat parcel of land. What is in fact the case is a series of rises and hollows upon which some wonderful golf holes have been constructed. Exacting approach shots are demanded on a number of holes which on the scorecard look relatively short. Par on any of these holes is a good score.
Kooyonga is not a long course—in fact none of the par 4 holes extend over 400 metres but what it lacks in length is more than made up for by its clever design. A number of reachable par 5 holes can help ones scorecard but any errant shot will be punished by the prevalence of native trees flanking most fairways. The greens at Kooyonga are generally small and firm and often framed with bunkers destined to catch an even slightly errant shot.
