Much has been written about the qualities of the West Course but, put simply, its beauty is down to a combination of wonderful topography, great design and imaginative construction.

West Course highlights include dramatic undulations, a natural rugged appearance and bold bunkering - while the rough areas around the tees and bunkers are a mix of native grasses which naturally frame each hole. The greens are perhaps its signature feature and for decades have consistently provided the finest putting surfaces in Australia. They are large and beautifully contoured and built to accommodate approaches from a number of angles with each progressively more difficult the further the tee shot strays from the perfect line.
