I'm a big par 3 golf course fan, probably because I a, quite good at them and literally can't hit the ball any further.
But Kenton Valley course is one of my favourites, after the lovely windy fast drive up there through the tea tree gully hills and around the reservoir, the course is just outside Gumeracha right next to a cherry and strawberry farm.
The course is very green, quite hilly and has 9 holes you play twice, with a couple of other tee offs and a few extra greens, but mostly it's the same.
The greens are quite well kept, there is heaps of wildlife to see and hear and plenty of obstacles like bridges, bunkers, rivers, trees, ridges etc to dodge.
The pro shop is small with a couple of snacks, but the guy is really nice. He comes around sometimes, having a quick chat and asking if you would like a beer and encouraging your game.
Very worthwhile to make the trip for a sunny afternoon of some quite golf with a nice surrounding. read more
