Quarry at Joondalup Country Club

The Quarry course at Joondalup Country Club occupies land north of Perth that was formerly a limestone quarry, giving the layout its name and distinctive character. Robert Trent Jones and Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the course, which opened in the late 1980s as part of a residential development in the northern suburbs. The routing incorporates the quarried terrain, creating elevation changes and exposed rock faces uncommon in the generally flat Perth landscape.

The course plays through a mix of rehabilitated quarry land and natural bushland, with native vegetation including banksias and eucalypts framing many holes. The design features the Jones signature style of strategic bunkering, water hazards, and large greens that reward accurate approach play. Several holes play along or across former quarry sites, where limestone outcroppings and manufactured lakes add visual interest and strategic challenge. The layout demands thoughtful club selection and course management rather than pure length.

Joondalup Country Club operates as a private facility and has served as a venue for professional tournaments on the Australasian Tour, helping establish its reputation among Perth-area courses. The club offers traditional country club amenities including dining facilities that overlook the course. The Quarry represents one of the more distinctive topographical settings for golf in the Perth metropolitan region, where most courses occupy flatter coastal or inland sites.
