After a Month of mediocre golf where I could not get more than 29 or 30, Finally had a day where it felt good. Still couldn’t drive well, hit a few but inconsistent, Chipping and putting saved me and cost me. missed 6 chips and had to do it again.
Ended with a score of 36, happy but could have been so much better.Watched to the end, wished I hadn’t.
won’t see it again.1 user liked this post.
Echunga ( S.A.) golf course is set in the Adelaide Hills, near the tourist town of Hahndorf.
The course is well watered and has lush fairways and good greens. Direction to the next tee were clear. It has rolling hills and uses gullies in the fairway to add to the tee shot pressure. Several tee shots required accuracy with corners close by, or narrow gaps between tall trees. There was a deep layer of fine sand in the bunkers ( big tick from me) making splash shots possible.
Green fees mid week $30 and they have several carts available for hire at $28.
It took about 30 minutes via the freeway from the Southern Suburbs to get there.Yes a likable course, but care needed in the winter months as it can be too wet to play.

Great day for golf.
I just forgot how to play!
Finished with 21 points for the 18 holes, yes, no misprint.
Hit a few great shots during the day but overall it was just crap.
And should take my GA out a bit, after hitting a record low!
that’s GolfSLGC Stableford, Playing off 16, Cool with light winds, a great day for golf.
Started slow with two one-point holes, then Birded the next, continued much the same, up and down.
Pared the last two holes on the first nine to turn with 18 points.
That was about it.
Pared the next then scrubbed the next three! ended with 12 points for a total of 30.
Hit some good drives, overhit a few, just not getting the scores.
Top day with friends but left a lot behind.Six games in the last Eight days, I’m tired.
Started Wednesday week ago, regular comp at SLGC, playing off 17
Don’t know what happened but I started off with a big slice and it lasted all day, even the irons.
Finished with 27 points.
Thursday Friday was the Goolwa Masters, a fundraiser for the club and lot’s of Beer and Food
Sliced both days and scored 27 points both days. Good fun days.
Saturday, regular comp day, watched a video just before leaving home, suggested turning the hips a bit more.
Gave it a go and the ball started drawing a bit on the Range. A few silly mistakes throughout the day saw me finish with 30 points.
Happy.
Monday, Vets day at Willunga Golf Club, a tight course with lots of bends. was going ok till the last three holes when the Heat got to me, faded out and finished with 26 points.
a day off then Wendesday regular comp back at home. started slow but came home strong to finish with 34 points and drop the GA to a new lowest point off 16.7
It may not last long as I drop two rounds off 39 next. Need some good rounds.
Tired but fun week.Hi DavidM,
I am heading up to Adelaide next week again. Last time my golf buddy and I played at Marion off Brighton Road, Flagstaff Hill and Mt Compass. We had played at Willunga in 2019.
What other courses would you suggest we play in the southern areas?
I’m not that skilled in course selection, I like most.
try.. The Vines, Thaxted Park.
If you don’t mind a few minutes extra drive, take a look at..
Aston Hills, Echunga
Or one I have not been to yet but will shortly Links Lady Bay
but that is a bit of a drive.
EnjoyThans DavidM.
The VInes is at Reynella? If so, we have played there already.
Lot’s of courses, If you have played The Vines
Try Thaxted Park, it’s not much further on.CURRENT / 30-06-21 / 31/12/21

Stableford SLGC. Cool and overcast, comfortable golf day. Playing off 17
It just never felt right ! Scrambled all day for a good score but did not feel like a good round.
Miss a drive and the next shot was great, chunk a chip a few feet and then put the next one a few feet short of the flag.
Front 9 had two Pars a Birdie and a Wipe for 19 points.
Back started with two Wipes a Birdie and three Pars for 18 points.
Finished with 37, gotta be happy with that, GA dropped .7
