Golf Travel to Perth, WA
Perth’s greatest strength is the diversity of its golf. No two courses feel the same, allowing golfers to experience a new style of challenge every day.
At the iconic Joondalup Resort Golf Course, three spectacular nine-hole layouts—the Quarry, Dunes and Lakes—combine to create one of Australia’s most memorable resort golf experiences. Set in the heart of the Swan Valley wine region, The Vines Resort offers 18 holes of championship golf and was the long-time home of the state’s premier PGA tournaments throughout the 1990s and 2000s, making it one of Western Australia’s most recognisable golfing destinations. In the Perth Hills, Araluen Golf Resort delivers breathtaking scenery, where emerald fairways weave through striking red earth and a stunning mix of native and deciduous trees.
Just south of Perth, the Mandurah coastline region is home to Western Australia’s finest collection of links-style golf. The Cut Golf Course delivers spectacular oceanfront golf, while Links Kennedy Bay provides a traditional links challenge across rolling dunes and natural wasteland. Nearby, Secret Harbour Golf Links blends resort-style golf with coastal character, while Meadow Springs Golf and Country Club offers a beautifully presented championship parkland course renowned for its strategic design and outstanding conditioning.
Golfing Getaways can also provide access to some of Perth’s most prestigious private clubs, including The Western Australian Golf Club, renowned for its immaculate conditioning, Sun City Country Club with its wide fairways, natural bushland and native animals, and Royal Fremantle Golf Club, Western Australia’s most historic club and the home club of current PGA tour player Min Woo Lee.
Whether you’re planning a short golf escape or a week-long tour, Perth offers exceptional golf, outstanding hospitality and unforgettable scenery, making it one of Australia’s premier golf holiday destinations.
Recommendations
Perth’s sunny climate and long daylight hours make it easy to fill each day with memorable experiences beyond the golf course. A visit to Kings Park and Botanic Garden is one of the best ways to begin any Perth trip, offering sweeping views across the Swan River, Perth city skyline, South Perth, and the surrounding hills.
Rottnest Island is another must-do experience, perfect for a day trip or an overnight stay. Visitors can relax by the beach, explore the island by bike, meet the famous quokkas, and enjoy a drink or meal by the water.
For wine lovers, the Swan Valley offers an easy escape just outside the city, with cellar doors, breweries, gourmet producers, and relaxed lunch venues. Fremantle is also a favourite addition, with heritage streets, markets, craft breweries, seafood restaurants, and a lively port-city atmosphere. Those wanting to venture further can head south and explore the world-renowned Margaret River wine region, one of Western Australia’s most celebrated food and wine destinations (approx. 3 hours south of Perth).
