As we are expecting some hot weather on Thursday - the clubhouse will be open at 6am. This will ensure you can get a round in before the hottest part of the day.
At the recent club AGM, the following committee was elected:
President: Ray D'Alessandro Vice President: Steve Nailer Secretary: Bill Kidd Treasurer: Creagh Bedson Captain: Ben Slack Vice Captain: Randy Jones Committee Members: Chris Button, Alan Horsfall, Mark Roberts The Committee of the Echunga Golf Club has developed a draft Biodiversity Plan. This plan, while recognising that the primary use of our course is to play golf seeks to give some assistance in the management and enhancement of stands of native vegetation associated with the course.
We are consulting with the Mount Barker Council in relation to the plan, and comment on the plan is being sought from our members. Any comment should be emailed to info@echungagolf.com.au and be received no later than 22nd November 2019. See draft plan here  Congratulations to the Echunga C1 men's pennant team.
