Martinsfield Golf Club

Welcome to Martinsfield Golf Club's little par three course.
The Golf Course
In the nineteen-twenties the Kenny family and their friends made and played a three hole "links course" on their four acre block. Martinsfield has now been redesigned to a nine hole par-three layout. A park-like atmosphere has been developed using flora native to southern Yorke Peninsula. Care has been taken to retain a links character in keeping with its origins as the site of the first Edithburgh village oval.
Evolving use of the land
When Myrtle Kenny died in 1969 and her Kenny grand-children accepted the responsibilities of maintaining the cottage and its four acres of land the tradition of family October Long-weekends at Edithburgh continued but with more emphasis on mowing the grass in the paddock surrounding the cottage garden.
Location
225 km (2.5 hours) by road from Adelaide; Highway One to Pt. Wakefield, then via Ardrossan, Pine Point, Stansbury and Coobowie. From Edithburgh one kilometre (from town centre) on the Yorketown road, turn left into West Street; Martinsfield is then second on the left.
