Complete List of Golf Courses & Mini Golf in Perth

For some people, the word ‘golf’ conjures up imagery of elderly gents in polo shirts and sweaters trotting around a green at a leisurely pace. However, there is so much more to golf than this shallow view. Even if you’ve never really tried your hand at golf — or you simply aren’t very good — there’s plenty to like about many of the golf courses in and around Perth, especially if you want to get the family involved. There is also a great collection of mini golf courses, giving the whole family something to do.

Golf courses by region:

Nedlands Golf Club
If you’re a fan of walking to stay fit, golfing is a great way to hit two birdies with one ball. Nedlands Golf Club, for example, has picturesque greens with sweeping vistas and a majestic view of Matilda Bay. Each hole in the nine-hole course has its own subtle challenge, making this course particularly good to replay time and time again until you edge ever closer to the club record. Visitors are most welcome, and the pro shop comes with everything you’d expect from a clubhouse — all with very reasonable prices.
