The championship layout at Lake Karrinyup was founded in 1928, designed by Alex Russell who was the Australian partner of the famed golf course architect, Alister MacKenzie.

[1] The championship course is a par-72 layout that winds its way through undulating ground, native gum-trees, and indigenous vegetation.

[4] Dominated by the lake from which the course gets its name, the most memorable holes are ones which run adjacent to and over this natural feature.

[2] The signature 8th hole is a 201-metre par 3 which requires a shot that carries the lake onto a raised green.

[6] The course record of 63 is shared and was initially achieved by South African, Retief Goosen, playing in the 2002 Johnnie Walker Classic.
