Established in 1960, this par 72, 18-hole golf course stretches over 5,563 metres (5163 metres for the ladies) and is nestled within natural bushland. With its picturesque setting and convenient location, it provides golfers with a tranquil country atmosphere just a short 30-minute drive from Perth's central and southern suburbs.
The club warmly welcomes both members and the public to enjoy a round of golf on their well-maintained course. What makes Pickering Brook Golf Club even more enticing is its affordable green fees of just $5, allowing players to indulge in a day of golf for as long as they desire. Payment can be made at the honour box located at the clubhouse or the shelter at hole number 10. On non-competition days, the course is usually uncrowded, allowing golfers to play at their own pace or even learn the intricacies of the game.
For those interested in receiving coaching, the club offers weekly coaching sessions that can be explored on their coaching page. Although the course is seasonal and depends on natural watering, once the rain arrives, it becomes one of Perth's hidden gems. Its sand greens may pose a challenge to the local kangaroo population, but for avid golfers, they offer a unique playing experience. The fairways are adorned with a variety of Australian native flora, adding to the beauty of the surroundings (although occasionally frustrating golfers!
Membership opportunities are available for those who wish to become a part of the Pickering Brook Golf Club community. Membership details and photos of the course can be found in the dedicated golf section. However, guests are always welcome to play a round of golf at any time. Experience the refreshing air, serene country atmosphere, and the abundance of gum trees and kangaroos that inhabit the area.
The likelihood of having the course almost entirely to oneself adds to the allure, but it's important to yield to competition players on Thursdays and Saturdays or to groups waiting behind.
The club takes pride in its volunteer members who continuously work on maintaining the course. They are always ready to greet players and answer any questions they may have. Prospective members can contact Dene at 0438036698 to join a game as a guest and get a taste of the club's inviting atmosphere.
One of the benefits of being a member is the ability to bypass booking ahead with a time slot for competitions. Members simply need to arrive at the clubhouse before the cut-off time (currently 10:30 am on Saturdays for men and 9:30 am on Thursdays for women).
