Lake/Dune Course
Joondalup Country Club
About this course
Joondalup Country Club sits approximately 25 kilometers north of Perth's city center in Western Australia's northern coastal corridor. The property features 36 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr., with the Lake and Dune nines forming one of the club's two 18-hole configurations. The courses opened in the early 1980s as part of a residential development, representing one of the Jones family's few Australian projects and their only design work in Western Australia. The routing takes advantage of the region's characteristic sandy soil and relatively flat coastal plain topography. The Lake nine incorporates water features throughout its design, with several holes playing alongside or across constructed lakes that serve both strategic and aesthetic purposes. The Dune nine reflects the native landscape with more pronounced elevation changes and sand-based terrain, though the property's overall relief remains modest compared to true links environments. Both nines feature the Jones design hallmarks of large, contoured greens, strategic bunkering, and clearly defined playing corridors. The club operates as a private facility serving Perth's northern suburbs and has hosted various state and regional amateur competitions over the decades. The course conditions benefit from Western Australia's Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters providing year-round playability. The layout offers a straightforward test of golf without extreme length or severe hazards, making it accessible to members of varying skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and water placement.

Getting there
Most international visitors arrive via Perth Airport, Australia's fourth-busiest gateway, located roughly 40 kilometers southeast of the city center. From there, the drive north to Joondalup Country Club unfolds along the Mitchell Freeway, a straight, efficient corridor that traces Perth's coastal plain through sprawling northern suburbs before delivering you to the club's tranquil lakeside setting in just under 40 minutes. The transition is marked by a gradual shift from urban density to the quieter, more spacious character of Perth's outer metropolitan fringe, where the club's twin championship layouts await amid natural wetlands and sculpted dunes. For those seeking discretion, Joondalup Airport - a smaller facility nearby - serves private and charter operations, though most will find the commercial route both seamless and direct.
