Golf in the District Council of Streaky Bay

Golf on this stretch of Eyre Peninsula comes down to two public courses, both run in the relaxed, volunteer-driven way of country clubs. Streaky Bay Golf Club sits right in the seaside town on Montgomerie Terrace and welcomes members and visitors year round. Its nine holes play off dual tees as a par-72 round, and the greens and aprons are kept in good order by volunteers even through dry spells, so it suits holidaymakers after a fair, easygoing test close to their accommodation. Out at Wirrulla, the local golf and bowling club looks after an 18-hole, par-70 country course with the no-frills character of small-town outback golf. It is the one for travellers who like to tick off courses off the beaten track and enjoy a quiet round with the locals.
