The Berri Golf Club is one of South Australia’s oldest golf clubs.
Established in 1924, the course was built close to the town centre, making it easy to access and convenient for visitors.
The Berri Golf Club was originally located below the Berri Club on river flats cleared of Hopbush and Lignums which formed fairways and 12 holes in 1924. In 1933, a new clubhouse was built attracting members and the course was extended to 18 holes. With the advent of WWII, The Berri Golf Club went into recess in 1942 and native vegetation reclaimed the course on the river flats. A new location was needed and acquired thus ending the first chapter of the club’s history.
The current course was designed after WWII on rolling sandhills located near the heart of Berri. In 1964, the fairways became watered and by 1966, the course was fully planted, making way for the advancements that have been made over time.
Presently, The Berri Golf Club currently provides the opportunity for anyone who wishes to play golf offering a well maintained and attractive golf course. The membership base enjoys competitions 4 days a week and the extremely popular Twilight competitions run every Friday night during the daylight savings period. The Berri Open is held each September and has seen an increase in numbers participating in recent years. Junior and social golf participation has seen a rapid rise in popularity and inviting social events are held throughout the year. These events attract many players and often entice people to take up golf as a sport. The club has a wonderful social vibe that is inclusive and welcoming for new and current members.
