The journey to Frankland Golf Club begins with a flight into Albany Airport, the nearest commercial gateway roughly 90 minutes to the south, or alternatively Perth Airport for those approaching from the state capital some four hours northwest. The drive from either direction unfolds through the ancient karri and jarrah forests of Western Australia's Great Southern region, where the landscape shifts from coastal heath to rolling farmland as you trace the Frankland River inland. This is remote, unhurried country - sealed roads give way to quieter byways, and the final approach into the tiny township of Frankland feels less like arrival at a destination than discovery of a place the wider world has yet to crowd.
