Golf Courses I have Played Since I have Been in Perth

Thought I would let you all in on the golf courses that I have played since I have been in Perth.

To start off; Wembley Golf Course, the most played public golf course in the world! I didn't believe it either and I am still not sure if it is true, but I do know it is one of the most impressive public facilities I have ever seen. There are two full size 18 hole courses, a state of the art driving range (automatic ball dispensers, no baskets!), and a huge practice putting/chipping area. On the weekends they tee off people of the front and the back until people start making the turn. It is a very impressive operation. This is the course that Dad and I play our Saturday morning Fargoff league. We rotate back nines each week, and its CHEAP, like $30 for 18 on the weekends.

The Vines; The Vines is a great resort golf course also with two full size courses. I have only played the Ellenbrook course. There is a twenty-nine dollar deal on Tuesdays. Being unemployed, I have taken advantage:)

The Cut; The Cut is an amazing links style course down near Mandurah, about an hour south of Perth. Probably, the best course that I have played around Perth. They have a deal with a cart and a full lunch for $69. Generally, you walk every golf course here, carts are unusual.

The Links at Kennedy Bay; A great course about 50 minutes south. A true links style golf course. Every time I go there I am blown away at how nice of a golf course it is and the fact that I have never seen more that 10 people there. I guess it was a golf course designed and opened during the boom in Perth, but has not seen the expected traffic. Their club house is still a trailer:)

Mount Lawley; A private golf course, just up the road that I had the opportunity to play as a part of a charity golf event. I was invited as a ringer by some of the guys in our Saturday golf league. We didn't win, but we had a great time. The course had the nicest greens and fairways I have seen in awhile. I would love to get another chance to play out there!

Joondalup; The Joondalup golf course is another great resort style golf course. They have three nine hole courses which the rotate each week. This is a fancy, high end resort course in the are, much nicer than the vines. You do pay for it though, its more like playing golf in America $100. I have only played it once when I was here last year, not dying to play it again.

Maylands Golf Course; Built on what used to be an old airport. Its a dog track, but great fun. Only costs $20 dollars to play 18 holes walking. It sits right on the Swan river and has great views of the city on almost every hole. I would definitely play that golf course again.

The Margaret River Golf Course; One of the few golf courses down in the Margaret River, I have only played it once. It is a old style golf course, the holes go back and fourth next to each other until its over.

Araluen Golf Course is a course that Dad and I went up to one weekend to play. It is in the hills to the east of Perth. A great golf course, but one that does not use much water. They advertise it, I don't know why. The course was a terrific test and a hard walk. Very long and very hilly. I cannot wait to go back in the spring after the winter rains.

I believe that is all of the courses I have played I will add more if I think of them..
