The Courses

The Vines, like all good championship courses, takes some thinking.

Course architects Graham Marsh and Ross Watson skillfully and strategically used the stunning Swan Valley landscape to produce championship courses that command respect. Bunkers and grassy hollows are dug to the optimum depth to penalise the errant shot.

The landscaping areas on the fairways, for the most part, are generous enough for the average golfer, but a premium has been put on the consequence of finishing in either bunker or water if the ball goes astray.

The 36-hole layout consists of two world class championship courses The Lakes and Ellenbrook. The experienced golfers will find plenty of challenge from the championship tees while social players will have as much enjoyment from more generous tee positions.
