The course itself is moderately challenging (very challenging for me) with lots of nice open fairways, and tough pin locations behind deep bunkers. I usually play there at least once a week, for both the convenience of the location, the price, and the great customer service.

We visited for Friday lunch watching the pros go round as we ate well cooked and presented steaks, which were priced fairly and cooked to order. Washed down with quality wine from an extensive wine list, it was a pleasant day hidden away from the rat race outside the gates. It has recently won awards as a wedding and function venue, worth a visit.

It's a very well set up place; toilets, ovals, tennis courts, playground and the list goes on. With my playground reviews, I always consider it a good sign if I can't take a lot of photos because people are enjoying the area. This is the case with this playground. There's so much to explore here. The only piece of advice I can give you is that the playground is behind the Scout Hall.

What I like about Ridge Park at Myrtle Bank is that despite its location in a super heavy traffic…read morearea the park itself remains incredibly quiet. Ridge Park is just down from the end of the freeway so there's never any shortage of traffic whizzing by. Amazingly, step just a few metres into the park and the traffic noise disappears. You can actually hear the birds chirping. This is both a dog friendly and people friendly park and there's no shortage of users. I love the open spaces for the pooches to run around and the plentiful facilities on offer here. Also in the park on the corner of Glen Osmond Road and Barr Smith Avenue is a memorial listing the names of fallen soldiers from World War I. From history buffs to boy scouts to four legged people, Ridge Park has something for everyone.

AMF Bowling Noarlunga is in the big clump of recreational facilities near the Colonnades Shopping Centre. It's got everything you'd expect, a snack bar, arcade games, and of course 10-pin Bowling. You pay per game, per person, and it can get pretty expensive. Especially when you're playing multiple games. This is great for some spur of the moment fun. All you need to bring along are a pair of socks, everything else is provided for you. But that's pretty much like most bowling alleys. The people were friendly, the place was clean, it's just maybe not as big as some other AMFs.

It's not quite as good as Marion Bowland in terms of food quality and the shoe hire experience, however it is price comparative, and when/if you sign up with their club program, it can be very affordable for a couple of games. They have a small arcade, however they don't really have that many arcade machines and quite a lot of the time, they are packed with people so you can't really use them. The prizes from the tickets are also quite scabby, just like the other AMF centres I have been to, they only have a few good items and even with $8 worth of games, you may be lucky to get a glow in the dark bat or a couple of chocolate bars. They do have unlimited bowling occasionally, however I don't really go bowling enough to take advantage of that deal. If you bowl often though, the price can be very enticing. Be careful of the shoe hire though, the shoes can be very uncomfortable (when compared to Marion Bowland) and can sometimes smell quite sweaty. Also, on two occasions, they gave me the wrong size shoes, even when I told them my size. In terms of the bowling experience, the television display with scores is quite well laid out and easy to operate with the game of bowling. Staff are generally friendly, however don't show a great deal of enthusiasm. Wouldn't recommend the food as much as other bowling alleys though as the hotdogs I have had there tasty a tad overcooked and most of the menu consists of cheap packaged food such as chicken nuggets. In all, a good experience. I do recommend booking though.

What I do know is that it is out of the way a little, as long as there is no football on at the time there is heaps of parking, plenty of shade, some great fishing over the back of the carpark behind the oval (be careful off the major drop off though, not a place to lose your kids!). There are fully functional toilet facilities, a very small playground at the rear of the oval over by the clubrooms plus a great little fully fenced playground at the front near the Noarlunga Netball & Tennis Club and right by the toilets. The netball and tennis club is a nice newer looking area. It's great to see so many varied activities in the one spot.

So, initially nearly run over by a hoon in the car park, then greeted by some 'interesting' characters loitering by the door, I felt I was right back at my teenage years. Felt quite at home. Needless to say there was some trepidation surrounding the shoes. Quite surprising though, the first pair fitted and was actually smell free, newer and cleaner than the ones I was wearing! Can't really complain. Didn't manage to pick a ball to match though, which was a slight disappointment, but I struggled on. Staff members were helpful and friendly and the food was another surprise. Both my bowling partner and I enjoyed hamburgers that were fresh, tasty and well cooked in a home-cooked style with a soft fluffy bun. Very nice. Chips were ok, but I was too full to eat but a few. There are quite a few food and drink options on the menu, but don't expect a quinoa salad or anything too light. But that's ok, it's that kind of place and one needs a certain amount of calories to keep fueled up! We managed to squeeze in a bit of bowling amongst the food and fashion and it was loads of fun! Boy there are some unusual people there, which provides entertainment in itself. The bowling lanes were clear and working efficiently and the automatic scoring screens were easy to read and follow. There are various deals on the website worth checking out, like the M-Th unlimited deal for 19.90/pp. I'd type more except I now have no pain-free muscles left at all. I'll definitely go again before the next 20years are up. Just need to wait til I can walk again.....

Even before high school, I used to come here as a kid and always found it to be a safe and comfortable environment. Bordered by Rivington Grove, Kennaway St and Stirling St, Tusmore Park has a number of great facilities. In the summer there is a wading pool for kids, there are two playgrounds plus a fenced area for extra security, public toilets, and a large grass area for sports. BBQ facilities are also available, as well as picnic areas. There is ample street parking, plus the park provides a lot of shade from surrounding trees. It is a beautiful park, complete with five (I think) free tennis courts as well. It does get busy, especially in summer and on weekends, so get there quick.

I used to come here a lot as a child and have many fond memories. Even in my older years I still frequent Tusmore Park for a spot of inner city landscape painting. There is a small wading pool for small children which is covered by a pergola for sun protection. The creek only really runs in the winter time and even then is quite shallow. There is a bunch of playground equipment as well as bbq facilities. The Hanson reserve provides a sizable patch of grass for ball games and the like. At the base of the reserve is a section reserved for the regrowth native vegetation, as well as a sort of little Forrest of older trees, which is great fun for kids to explore. The park gets quite busy on the weekends during summer, when lots of families have picknicks and bbqs. Probably best to get there early to ensure you get a spot.

Marion Bowland is by far the coolest bowling alley I have been to. It's not often that I go and…read morehave a game, however this bowling alley in the heart of Westfield Shopping Center at Marion seems to hook me in every now and again. The entrance is pretty cool for a bowling alley with a thin long corridor well lit with neon lights before entering the 20 or so lane alley. They have a cafe and a bar in there with a jukebox that can play any music you want (it is coin operated and has a good variety of songs spanning across the genres). In terms of pricing and food, Marion Bowland does well. Around $13 for a game throughout the week or 2 games for $20 is excellent value. That price includes the shoe hire, and unlike other bowling alleys, the shoes are actually pleasant and do not smell like sweat. Food is great. They have the standards such as hotdogs, chips and burgers, along with a few nicer items on the menu too such as sandwiches. I had a hotdog at Bowland when there a little while back. The sausage was lean and well cooked, the bun was soft and fresh and the condiments of tomato sauce and American mustard were well dispersed. Bowling balls come in many sizes, so you can easily pick the one to suit your bowling style. I generally pick one of the lighter ones - just personal preference. The computer displays are clear and easy to read. They are also easy to setup. Just a tip though. If you are going at a busy time of the week, such as the weekend or Friday night, then you will need to book as the alley will be packed. Also, watch out for school holidays as they can be very busy here too. Overall, an excellent bowling experience. You will not be disappointed.
