During 2001
the Kapunda Golf Club, with the assistance of its sponsors and the
Light Regional Council, commenced the re-development process of
the Kapunda Golf Course.
This would see
the installation of an extensive irrigation system and the construction
of turf greens. Hundreds of voluntary hours would be spent creating
the new course layout.
And now nearly
five years on, this picturesque nine hole layout is available for
you to enjoy.
Variety and
interest is assured with eighteen different tee-blocks placed in
strategic positions. Treelined fairways ensure careful club selection
and water hazards provide that extra challenge for the faint hearted.
Each hole culminating with the excellent putting surface.
Green fees are
at very competitive rates and group discounts are available.
History
The Kapunda Golf Club was established some 85 years ago on a course
situated on Bethel Road. In later years it was moved to Allendale,
where it operated from two separate courses over the following years.
In 1965 Kapunda
District Council acquired our present site, as a bare agricultural
paddock from S Kidman & Co. During 1966 the Golf
Club, whilst still playing at Allendale, designed and constructed
fairways, put in scrapes, built the first clubhouse (iron shed)
and began the planting of hundreds of native trees.
In 1967 the
Golf Club relocated to the new Kidman Links, gradually
developing into the beautiful park like course that exists today.
In 1977 the Golf Club took out a loan through the Kapunda District
Council for the construction of a modern brick clubhouse.
