Acclaimed as Western Australia’s
#1 golf course, The Golf Club Kennedy Bay is beautifully
undulating, and a true links course in the Scottish and
Irish traditions. The course is dry all year round with
Sandy base, fully irrigated, has Windsor Green fairways
and excellent Bent greens.
Designed by Baker Finch in collaboration with Roger Mackay
and Michael Coate this course will satisfy any golfer who
craves the sensation of pure links golf. All bunkers are
true "pot" style with revetted faces. The very
first hole presents a huge bunker reminiscent of the famous
"Hell" bunker. The greens, too, are all one would
expect on a true links - firm, fast, true and designed to
be approached with running shots.
Exceptionally fast running, tight, dry, gently undulating
couch fairways wind through sand dunes amongst western coastal
wattle, grevillea, sedges and lillies. The native scrub
is reminiscent of Scottish Gorse and Heather. The pounding
roar of the ocean can be heard on the back nine, and glimpsed
from elevated points. Wind is an enormous influence with
several tight driving situations.
For a totally different golfing experience without having
to travel to Scotland, come and play a genuine links golf
course in W.A.
