The origins of Kooyonga Golf Club can be
traced back to a day in 1922 when a train strike caused Mr. H.C. (Cargie) Rymill to take a tram rather
than a train to Henley Beach, he discovered this tract of swamp and sand dune country and knew that
he had discovered the ideal site for a magnificent golf course.
The layout is testing but fair. An abundance of natural timber defines the narrow, undulating fairways
culminating in well protected greens whose pace and subtle slopes require skill and demand respect.
Peter Thomson, at the time of his win in the 1972 Australian Open Championship probably best
described Kooyonga from the player's point of view when he said 'It needs to be played with the head
as much as the hands'.
Kooyonga enjoys a current Australian ranking of 14 and this is testament to the quality of the golf
course.
