Pics of Joondalup Country Club

Here are some of the pics of the course. Note that the colors are outstanding. They are just coming into summer and there isn't any haze to be seen. Everything was dry (very dry) and crisp. Enjoy!

Here's one with several 'roos in sight. In the next photo, notice their back legs, they are like pillars! Their front legs almost look lame.

They are quite tame and you can get really close. They were only protective when near the younger ones, which is what you'd expect. Supposedly, they are like deer in America; the population needs to be controlled.

Yes, this is a pic of a lot of golf carts.....However, check out the colors. Fantastic!

This one is a bit dark, but it illustrates the great golf holes at this course. A single golf ball, encased in an individual box, was $5.95 AUS! Since there were 'roos in the fairway and snakes in the rough, I spent a lot of money on golf balls.

Look at this putting green, it's like mini-golf. Look, you can't even see the legs of the guy putting! It was a bit of a joke, really. The regular greens weren't that bad. They putt very true and fast.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to get that golf ball, thank you! Great holes....desert, but lush, and colorful...

This hole was their signature hole. I zoomed in on this shot to get a better perspective on that bunker. It's huge! It may not look like much until you look at the people on the green. From the green, imagine going straight down in elevation all the way into that bunker. From the bunker, it had to be 150 ft or more in elevation to the green. I was right and short of the green with my second shot, I thought I was going to die walking up that hill in tennis shoes.....my putting suffered.

Another shot of the ROOS!

One of their three nine hole layouts was carved from a rock quarry. Here, you can see that perspective, with the houses at "grade" level. If you hit a wicked slice, you could bounce back in play....too bad there weren't many holes like this and I was hooking the ball!

Last pic...another perspective of the rock quarry. Believe it or not, the wind was blistering that day, but it wasn't so bad in the quarry part. You can see the shadow cast from the quarry wall as we were well below grade. This was a par 3! Can you believe it!

Thanks for looking at the pics. Maybe I'll play again in February. Cheers.
