Nestled in the heart of South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula, the Mount Compass Golf Course—expertly designed by Neil Crafter—offers a premier 18-hole links-style experience set amidst native bushland. Currently ranked 71st by Australian Golf Digest, the course delivers a true risk-and-reward challenge across its thoughtfully crafted layout.
The Mount Compass Golf Course
Notable highlights include the signature 6th hole, a strategic par 4 where players can choose to carry 180 meters of scrubland for a short pitch into a three-tiered green—or take the safer route up the left side for a slightly longer iron approach. The 12th hole, a scenic 173-meter par 3, demands a carry over water, though a more forgiving left-side fairway funnels into a generously contoured green for those who opt for a safer line.
Impeccably maintained year-round, Mount Compass Golf Course is a standout destination that should be on every golfer’s itinerary when visiting the Adelaide region.
