Western Australian Golf Club

Spectacular opening hole with water on the left of the fairway and tall eucalypts on the right. There are three bunkers on the left front of the green and one front right. The back of the large green is higher than the front and the subtle undulations make putting a challenge for all golfers.

Bunkered half of the fairway width on the right hand side 215 metres from the tee. The small green demands accuracy and careful reading for even the best players.

Dog-leg to the left with bunkers facing a too-long straight drive. For long hitters there is a challenge to clear the dense trees on the left hand side. Failure to succeed can lead to disaster. The green is mid-size, and flat, bunkered on the front and right.

A narrow fairway which demands a straight drive. The green is heavily bunkered on the left-hand side. A small bunker and undulating ground protects the right.

A delightful small hole. A fairly large green protected by bunkers across the front and on the left-hand side. A tee-shot too long can run away from the green.

The premier par 5 on the course and longest hole. As in the case of much of the course, accuracy is paramount. There are bunkers in two parts of the fairway. The green is elevated, two-tiered and bunkered on the right-hand side.

A beautiful hole with the elevated tee well above the fairway. The tree-lined fairway has bunkers on the right, and closer to the green, on the left. There is also a bunker on the front right of the green.

Par 5 with bunkers on the left of the fairway to challenge the drive and on the right approaching the green. The green is elevated and fairly flat, but well bunkered on the right.

A brilliant golf hole. The view of the clubhouse from the tee and green and the view from the clubhouse are equally beautiful. The carry from the back tee and over the lake is 110m. Those who think the carry could be beyond them take a route to the right. the lake coming into play on the first and ninth holes adds a further dimension to golf at our club.

A deceptive fairway that is uphill all the way to the green, which is tucked in close to the fence. The fairway has a slight dogleg and is heavily timbered on the left. The green is narrow with a bunker on the right and out of bounds on the left.

Another fine par 3 with great character. The fairway is higher on the left and there are bunkers above and in from of the green.

From the tee there are sweeping views of the city, suburbs and hills of Perth . The fairway is downhill until it nears the huge bunkers guarding the green. The subtleties of the green make it a challenging high index hole.

Uphill from the tee and downhill to the green. Accurate placement of the drive and shots to the green are necessary to score well on the No. 1 indexed hole.

This is a classic short hole. The green cannot be seen from the tee and the drive needs to be placed precisely to ensure a good shot at the well-bunkered green, which has its own challenges and needs careful reading.

A sharp dogleg right and a number of well-placed bunkers puts the onus on good placement of all shots. The fairway and greenside bunkers come into play and the smallish green invites a well judged approach.

This gem of a par three is like a grass island in a sea of bunkers. Accuracy is rewarded as there are a number of large trees flanking the way from tee to green.

A straight drive is a necessity. Being in the rough makes this hole difficult. The drive for better golfers is over the hill and a nice run downhill in the direction of the green. Less skilled golfers may find it less easy as their drive can still be short of the top of the hill. The only bunkers are on the right front of the green.

The final hole back to the clubhouse is uphill for most of the way. There are lateral bunkers on the left side of the fairway and one fairway bunker on the right. the approach to the green is enhanced by the sight of the clubhouse behind the green. The green has a narrow opening at the front and bunkers along the sides.
