About the course
Peaceful 9-hole par-36 parkland round with kangaroos for company
Port MacDonnell Golf Club is a 9-hole, par-36 parkland course in Port MacDonnell, South Australia. It features extensive fairways, tricky pars and a well-bunkered layout set on a flat, hill-free surface that suits novice golfers. The semi-private course offers easy walking pathways, and it sits within the Limestone Coast region near Mount Gambier.
Visitors consistently describe this little nine-holer as exceptionally quiet and peaceful, often with the course practically to themselves. Its flat, walkable layout and low green fees make it an easy, relaxed round, and the abundant kangaroos wandering the fairways are a frequently mentioned highlight (long pants are a popular suggestion). Impressions of conditioning are mixed: some players praise the greens and accept the rough-and-ready fairways given the modest setting, while others find the fairway surfaces well below par. Overall it reads as a charming, no-frills country course best enjoyed for its tranquil seaside-town atmosphere rather than pristine turf.
