Joondalup Resort
Few golf courses anywhere in the world offer the dramatic contrasts, the scenic beauty and the sheer golfing challenge of Joondalup Country Club’s 27-hole championship golf course.
Designed by the internationally renowned Robert Trent Jones Jnr, the Joondalup Resort golf course presents a tough, uncompromising layout, featuring a great variation in setting and style.
The spectacular golf course in Perth sweeps across dense bushland, cuts through steep limestone quarries and skirts picturesque lakes, to present surprises and challenges at almost every turn.
One minute you are playing an approach shot beneath a 30-metre limestone cliff, the next you are adapting to the fresh ocean breeze on an undulating links-style fairway.

Royal Fremantle Golf Club
Royal Fremantle is one of the few golf clubs that still occupies its original site. The course can be tamed on a still day, but when the prevailing sea breeze, colloquially known as the “Fremantle Doctor” arrives, after midday, only the best swings can survive.
Royal Fremantle at 6168 metres is not long by modern standards. Plans are in place to lengthen some tees as part of regular course maintenance and development plans but this will be done only in keeping with the original intentions which were to provide a course for all players and to encourage participation in the sport.
Royal Fremantle is not solely about providing a championship venue for professional tournament play to be utilised once a year. The course is well maintained with clearly defined Kikuyu fairways that are amongst the best all year round in the country, tidy tee boxes and Bent grass greens that are deceptively quick. However, when a shot goes astray the penalty is fair and there is always a chance to manufacture a shot from under the trees to get the ball back into play.

Royal Perth Golf Club
Royal Perth Golf Club is located just a few minutes from the Perth CBD and situated on the banks of the Swan River. The Club has a strong history dating back to 1895 when it commenced on Burswood Island before moving to Wattle Grove Farm, Belmont in 1900 and then to its current site in 1908. The prestigious Club is the oldest in WA and was awarded Royal Charter in 1937.
Built on less than 30 hectares (74 acres) the founders have left a great legacy for generations of golfers over the past 100 plus years. The golf course is built on a flat terrain with narrow fairways requiring accurate placement from the tee. Being an “old style” course, the greens in general are small in size making them elusive targets, especially when the sea breeze sweeps in off the adjacent Swan River.
The outward nine has three par 5’s making it a par of 37 and, apart from holes 6 and 9, borders the golf course bringing out of bounds into play for errant shots moving from right to left. The inward nine is played inside the course boundaries and has a par of 35 with the 18th being the only par 5. Generally the back nine is a little more difficult with three tough par 4’s (holes 10, 13 and 16) to negotiate.
By modern standards Royal Perth is not long measuring just over 6000 metres. Despite this the golf course challenges the very best players with narrow fairways and renowned firm fast greens. Whilst there is little rough on the course there are near on 80 bunkers increasing the degree of difficulty.

Sun City Country Club
Designed by Bob Green of Golf and Recreation Planners and the club’s first captain Murray Dawson, the golf course at Sun City Country Club is one of Western Australia’s favourite layouts.
A major highlight of any round at Sun City has always been the long sweeping breaks on greens which seem to keep their secret until just after the impact of putter on ball.
Another unique fascination of the course is the length of many of its holes, demanding good use of every club in the bag, including long irons. This fascination is made even more acute off the tee, where the many dogleg fairways demand a perfect line into the outside of the corners.
