Flora and Fauna







One of the great pleasures of playing golf at Mount Lofty is the wonderful
course environment. Even If you hit a duffed shot, you can at least take
solace in soaking up the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Cox's Creek meanders through the course, and together with a number of
dams and lakes, the water attracts a wide variety of bird life. You may even
see the odd koala if you are lucky, and our resident white kangaroo can
often be seen near the 7th fairway.

The course is located in some of the most pristine natural bushland in the
Adelaide Hills. There are some superb examples of native vegetation.

Towering "Ghost Gums", with their distinctive white bark, line many of the
fairways. You may even be lucky enough to see some of the tiny and very
rare native orchids that live in the bushland, especially behind the first green.

The deciduous trees look fantastic in Autumn, transforming the course into a
stunning display of colour.
