 Lake Karrinyup
Lake Karrinyup - Widely acknowledged as Perth`s best private club, Lake Karrinyup is a tranquil botanical haven for wildlife including native birds and numerous kangaroo only 13km from the city centre.
The lush couch fairways and manicured Bent grass greens are set in gentle sandy hills surrounded by magnificent gardens designed such that species are flowering in all seasons, but most notably in Spring when the famous West Australian wildflowers abound. A huge lake comes into play especially on the 475m par five third hole, and smaller lakes and many creative bunkers add to the hilly challenge.
 The first hole presents a magnificent vista from the elevated tee behind the gracious and luxuriously sprawling clubhouse. Grab a quick par four here if you can avoid the driving bunkers then those before the elevated green that nestles beneath a huge gum; for the next hole is a monstrous uphill challenge of 430m. It bends left and is typical of one criticism that has been levelled at Karrinyup - that it`s a "hooker`s course". Additional difficulty presents for the average hitter, who may not generate sufficient length off the back tees to find a level lie.
