Lake Karrinyup Golf & Country Club

Golf Courses

Lake Karrinyup features a Championship 18-hole course (par 72, 6,531 m / 7,142 yd from the championship tees) originally designed by Alex Russell in 1928, alongside a 9-hole North Course (par 31, ~1,700 m). The overall facility encompasses 27 holes, with the Championship layout characterized by undulating coastal sand dune country, native bush, and a central lake that frames several signature holes. The course underwent a sensitive restoration in 2007-08 to align with Russell’s original design principles. More details can be found on the Wikipedia page.
