The West Course is one of Australia’s premier golf courses consistently rated amongst the Top 100 in the country. Many fairways, although not all, are broad and undulating however the ideal line to the green is always from the more difficult-to-reach side.
The West is also known for its powerful finish, four par-4s of varying lengths and directions. The toughest is the uphill, left-turning 16th, however the most interesting is the 17th, which funnels from a wide driving zone through a saddle in the fairway to a raised green that’s obscured from view on approaches from the left side.
The West Course is currently ranked the No. 44 course in Australia.
The East Course has a very special place in Australian Golf history, having hosted the 1976 West Lakes Classic which was won by a 21 year old trainee professional named Greg Norman. The course is consistently rated amongst the very best in Australia.

With wet lands and a forestry the east is appealing from a visual perspective and is testament to Norman and his team.
