Fairly friendly course for high handicap hackers like myself and my mates, we play 9 holes most Fridays as we work int he area. If you’re long but inaccurate off the tee like me, you could lose a few balls as the native grass trees in the rough love to eat golf balls. It’s actually easier if you hit the next fairway over rather than land in the sandy rough full of native grass trees, shrubs and other trees as you can at least then pitch back over onto the correct fairway! If you land in the rough, just take your medicine and punch back onto the fairway. Trying to thread a clever shot through all those branches etc is fraught with peril.

We play 9 holes after work on weekdays, starting around 4pm, and we tend to start on hole 10 as the first tee is fairly busy, but the back 9 is very quiet. So we 4 hackers can amble along without holding anyone up.
LOTS of dogleg holes as mentioned, if you drive past 250m you’ll need to shape it round the corners or place a fairway wood off the tee.

Even though we are poor players, I’d actually like to have some water or bunkers to spice things up a bit. Only the first hole has fairway bunkers on the left rough about 200m in, and that’s it for the entire course.

The greens vary in pace a lot, some a dead slow and others surprisingly fast, and although looking smooth can be quite bumpy to putt on. But overall the course is in good nick, the fairways are well maintained, and $16 for 9 holes isn’t too bad. $25 for 18 on weekends is cheap too but I’ve never played so can’t comment on how busy it would be. My guess though would be very!

Not much to challenge better golfers but a nice stroll for the oldies (lots of them) and casual player.

Been playing Hamersley for a few years now, and as it’s playing today, some of the best value golf in Perth. It’s not a difficult course, but whatever it loses on ’challenge’ it makes up in fun. Mostly wide fairways and rough that won’t break your heart, true and well-maintained greens, and a few blind holes that are traps for those unfamiliar. There’s an OK driving range and chipping/putting area, the bar and finger-food area is accessible and cheap.

Have played Hamersley a couple of times lately. The course is very well presented and in excellent condition. Unlike its Wembley cousin down the road Hamersley has taken the trouble to mow the winter grass between fairways. The fairways are very well cut. It is a class above Wembley at the moment.

Played nine holes at Hamersley Golf Course about 12 months ago on a Sunday. I found the play to be extremely slow and so were the greens, as a wet week in fact. They were bumpy and needed a very good roll. However the greens you could putt onto nicely if you missed them as there isn’t much bunkering around the greens and the grass is cut smoothly.

This course is very tight and unforgiving if you miss the fairways, a bit like Wembley (old course) just a lot shorter. Its great for beginner and for a social hit now and then. But this wouldn’t be the course I’d go boasting to people about. With its affordable price it is the most played track in Perth for the social golfer. However for the better player, pay the $30 bucks and play Joondalup at twilight :)

PROS

• Very affordable, not much water for beginners to get into, slow easy greens for social golfers

Cons

• Not a good course for the better player, short, boring, slow and good for a practice nine after work only

I Have played this course for about 10 years now and i go back because good grren fee’s but most of all what a great looking course the greens are the best i have ever played on for a public course and theFairways are some of the best in Perth just of there right now.

I played Hammersley in Nov ‘07 and the course was in pretty good condition. Cheap green fees too. There are loads of dog-legged holes so if you are long with driver off the tee, then you need to be very accurate or think about hitting another club. Straying too far off the fairway will cost you a shot everytime. I don’t think our four-ball lost a single ball but if you are in the trees you almost always have to chip out sideways. A lot of the holes have the same feel about them. Overall a decent public course and worth a round.

Hamersley is a simple course compared to others in Perth.

Wide straight fairwaysm, and easy to find a ball that strayed off the line.

Fees are ok, bit more than Wembley which IMO is a much nicer course.

Hamersley is a good course especially if you are one who doesn't like bunkers, because the only ones are on the 1st hole. The fairways I have to say are pretty good and the greens are fairly decent. If you go right or left off your drive there is still a fairly good chance you will find your ball. Overall Hamersley is a good course for everyone especially for the beginner and the green fees are good.

Great course for someone learning to play game. Good wide green fairways and decent sized greens.

I learnt how to play there and is a very good course with some long holes thrown in to challenge the avarage golfer. Go off the fairway and most of the time you can find your ball but too far in and giove it to the snakes.

Ive played there a few times now and it's a decent course. No sand bunkers or water. Maybe a little plain but overall it's decent for beginners.

Friendly staff but toilets need attention.

Good parking.

This has to be one of the greenest courses I've played on. Beautiful rolling buffalo grass fairways and medium paced undulating greens make this course playable and challenging at the same time. Long drives are needed on most holes to reach greens in regulation especially the 18th a par 4 398m hole. Drive long and pitch well and low scores can be had by the better putters. One of my fav holes are the 175m par 3 7th, where you have to hit to a 2 tiered green tilted forward. Plenty of hills and doglegs keep the course interesting. Definately a course the better player will enjoy. Great bar facilities and decent pro shop, driving range and chipping/putting areas. Bookings for sat/sun start from monday.
