Challenging with narrow fairways and punishing rough. The faiways are in great condition and the greens superb. Possibly the best greens in Perth, they run very true and are lightning fast. Not a long course so the emphasis is on accuracy and course management. Recommend you give it a try.

Lakelands is a lovely course in the northern suburbs near Wanneroo. Currently at about 6200mtrs the course will soon go through some length and strategy changes (mid 2004). Lakelands greens are pure and the course is now in superb nick. The par 3's all are individual and provide great challenge. The 2 picks for challenge are is 13 a 170mtr par 3 very exposed over black boys with a 2 tiered green and usually against the freo doctor. Hole 6 is the other measures190 from the back and has 4 greenside bunker protecting the entire green so if u miss, make it short, a excellent hole. 16 is a 145 mtr par 3 with no bunkers but water 10 mtrs short so hit it solid. 2 is a 154 mtr par 3 which is my favorite par 3 because of 4 beaut greenside traps and a nice feel to the hole. The pick of the 5's is 5. At 500 mtrs and against the doctor it is a definite three shotter and is played fairly exposed with lots of shrub off the fairway meaning premium accuracy. 18 is only 454 mtrs but soon on the dogleg right there will be a strategic fwy bunker and the right greenside bunker filled with water and ob on the right because currently you can play up the driving range and it will be a ripper dramatic finishing hole. 7 is a sensational risk reward hole, at only 440 mtrs it bends about 100 degrees left and if you cut the corner and bomb it it's a mid iron but play safe and the 2 tiered green still gives a birdie chance. The other is 14 which suits a cut off the tee like 18 and is 490 mtrs up hill and into the wind a 3 shotter, tricky putting surface. The pick of the par 4's are maybe 4 and 11, 4 is a short 290 mtr par 4 with accuracy a premium. If u pull out driver you could block yourself out. If the hole is polayed smart your second will be a wedge to the guarded 2 tier green, 1 of the top 4 short par 4's definitly in WA. 11 is only at 350 mtrs and played slightly downwind but people often choke because of a 4 by 4 mtr tiny pond dead in front of the green threating to catch any slightly mishit shot. The other poar 4's are 1 a gentle 340 mtr opening hole, 3 is a tough 410 mtr par 4, 4 already mentioned, 8 a downhill 36 mtr par 4 which sweeps to the left, 9 a 380mtr uphill agaisnt the wind climb, 10 an exposed 360 mtr par 4, 11 already mentioned, the 389 mtr 12th is very demanding, 15 is a very tricky 345 mtr par 4 it's very tight and 17 is a brutal 400mtr hole. The vibe around the club is friendly and it's a great place to be. It is generally flat and suits a right to left ball flight. Along with The vines, Lake Karrinyup, Kennedy Bay and Joondalup I think a top 10 wa course.

The course has some interesting holes but it also has some stupid holes.

A perfect example is the third. A 400m straight par 4 that requires an accurate drive. But if you hit your drive to long you will not be able to have a shot at the green because of a tree in the middle of the fairway.

The condition of the course is not the best. The greens were slow and bumpy the last time that I played there but I have seen them lightning fast.

I've been a member for 1 year now and out of all the courses I've played this one would have to be one of my favourites. I't rewards you if you have good course management but if you go out to belt the crap out of the little white devil you could fall a victum. It has a nice course layout with some hard holes. The 5th hole, a 500m par 5 that most of the time playes into wind is a challenge. All in all I would say that you must try it out.
