The Pat GC expands Short Course to full 18-hole experience
The Pat GC will expand its Short Course from 15 holes to a full 18-hole layout, strengthening its position as one of South Australia’s most diverse and accessible golf destinations.
Construction on the project will begin in June, with the redesigned course, to be renamed The Short Course 18, ready to tee off in November.
The Short Course 18 will deliver a more complete, flexible and accessible experience alongside The Pat GC’s championship Patawalonga Golf Course (18 holes) and Driving Range, which offers TrackMan Range technology.
The expanded short course reflects growing demand for more social and time-friendly formats of the game, while still providing a premium golf experience
