Echunga Golf Club

Picturesque parkland golf among the gum trees of the Adelaide Hills

Echunga Golf Club is a public parkland course located in Echunga, South Australia, in the Adelaide Hills just minutes from Hahndorf and around 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. The layout plays to a par of 71 over roughly 5,441 metres across gently undulating land lined with gum trees. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, and both cart and club hire.

Echunga has built a strong reputation as a relaxed, well-presented course set amongst majestic gum trees, with players regularly praising its friendly, easygoing atmosphere and a clubhouse that's an inviting place to wind down. Reviewers frequently highlight the well-maintained fairways and the smaller, true greens that demand precision and keep golfers on their toes, while tree-lined holes and a few well-placed hazards add interest across the round. The front nine is often described as the more challenging side with a couple of quirky holes, and the back nine as a touch more forgiving. Visitors also note the charm of kangaroos hopping across the fairways and the genuinely picturesque, parkland setting. Conditions can suffer after heavy rain, with some feedback mentioning waterlogging during wet spells, but the prevailing impression is of a peaceful, scenic course that players are keen to return to.
