First used in 1927, the course at Glenelg Golf Club has been developed in three main phases. Mr Herbie (Cargie) Rymill originally laid Glenelg out upon sandy marshland with nine holes in play but this course was quickly doubled in size within twelve months of opening.
The layout was redesigned by Vern Morcom in 1947 – due to the loss of some land for the new Adelaide Airport – and this configuration served the members well for the following half a century before a major makeover was instigated in 1998.
Architect Neil Crafter, ably assisted by Glenelg member Bob Tuohy, embarked on a seven year scheme to remodel bunkers, create new tee boxes, modify fairways, enhance or replace green sites and upgrade irrigation throughout the course using sand already on site.
Today’s Glenelg course has been completely transformed to keep pace with the demands of the modern game and the set of holes around the turn – where Pine Hill features prominently in the routing between the 8th and 13th holes – are probably the strongest of any on the scorecard.

In 1928, Morcom took over as the course superintendent at Kingston Heath, a position he held for forty years, and he made sure MacKenzie’s bunker plan for the layout was implemented in every little detail.
