Soldiers’ Memorial Hall

The Mount Pleasant Soldiers’ Memorial Hall was completed in 1927, to honour those from our district who died and served in First World War. The original entrance contains the Honour Rolls, while the Art Deco entrance was an addition in 1939. The hall has been used for many events over the years and is well used today. It was even used as a cinema up until the late 1990’s.

The hall is available for hire (see website below), and if you’re lucky and call into the hall when the History Room is open (Thursdays from 1 to 4), we’ll give you a tour and a potted history.

Mt Pleasant Golf Club

This challenging 18 hole golf course is situated in a setting surrounded by vineyards and grazing stock and has maintained its country town hospitality. Mount Pleasant is located at the ‘top of the Torrens’, just 10 minutes from Birdwood, 30 minutes from Gawler and the Barossa Valley and only one hour from Adelaide. 

Visiting groups and social clubs are welcome, with food catering available on request. We aim to provide quality and affordable golf and clubhouse facilities in a friendly and relaxed environment.

At our picturesque 18 hole course you can enjoy a relaxing game of golf in a true bush setting. Kangaroos wander the course and bird watchers will be delighted by the wide variety of bird life attracted by our dams and creek.

The course offers a good variety of flat and undulating holes with tree lined fairways and challenging greens and is an ideal course for golfers of all abilities.

The course has watered greens and fairways, maintained by our greenkeeper and a dedicated group of volunteers.
