Looking at previous reviews of Joondalup I’m a little shocked there are negative reviews at all. Either some people can never be pleased or they are smoking crack. I played the Dunes and Quarry nine a couple of days ago on a visit from Melbourne and put simply this course is AMAZING. The Quarry 9 in particular are some of the most visually spectacular holes I have ever played. It really kicks in on the second. A nice wide open tee shot towards the moon craters. My favourite was the 3rd which I coined the par 3 of death. For a 20 handicapper like myself any tee shot over deep ravene is always intimidating. Luckily on the day I nailed the tee shot. The 5th is another cracker which makes you position you’re tee shot well.
The Dunes 9, also spectacular are a little different. The challenge on these holes are with the large undulating greens and narrower fairways.
Another plus for Joondalup is the condition of the course. The course was rated #4 public access and #1 public course for conditions and after playing it I can see why. The course was in tip top shape when I played.
In short, when in Perth you MUST play this course.
