Joondalup Country Club

Joondalup Country Club sits in Perth's northern suburbs, approximately 25 kilometers from the city center, and features two distinct eighteen-hole layouts designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. The Dune Course and Quarry Course were developed in the late 1980s as part of a residential community, opening in 1989. The Jones family collaboration brought their signature design philosophy to Western Australia's coastal plain, creating contrasting experiences on terrain that includes both sandy ridges and former limestone quarry lands. The Dune Course plays across naturally rolling sandhills with native vegetation, offering a links-influenced character uncommon in metropolitan Perth. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and coastal breezes, with several holes presenting strategic options from elevated tees. The Quarry Course, as its name suggests, incorporates the dramatic topography of reclaimed quarry sites, featuring more pronounced elevation shifts and rock formations. Water hazards appear throughout both layouts, integrated into the Jones design approach of risk-reward shot values and multiple teeing grounds to accommodate different skill levels. The club has hosted various regional and state amateur championships over the decades, serving as a competitive venue for Western Australian golf. The facility operates as a semi-private club with both member and public access, maintaining two championship-length courses that provide options for different playing preferences. The dual-course setup reflects the Jones family's ability to extract distinct golf experiences from varied terrain within a single property.
