Course Description
Founded over a century ago in 1908, the Cottesloe Golf Club established its first links course close by the sea in the then sparsely populated Perth suburb from which it took its name. Since that time, the club has been a prominent part of the history of golf in Western Australia and has played host to recent events including the Amateur Golf Championships of Australia, the Australian Junior Interstate Series and the WA Open Championship. A Graham Marsh designed layout has progressed to being widely regarded as one of the finest tests of golf in Western Australia boasting a well-appointed, two storey clubhouse with unparalleled views of the ocean to the west and city to the east.
