About the course
Robert Trent Jones Jr's Lakes nine, sweeping past bushland, quarries and water
Joondalup Cc — Lakes is a public 9-hole, par-36 course in Joondalup, QLD, Australia, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. It forms part of a 27-hole layout that sweeps across dense bushland, cuts through limestone quarries and skirts picturesque lakes. On-site facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire, club hire and coaching.
The Lakes nine is known for dramatic contrasts, with holes that range from approach shots beneath towering limestone cliffs to undulating, links-style fairways. Players consistently praise the scenic beauty and the genuine challenge, noting plenty of bunkers and trouble waiting for wayward shots, so it pays to bring a few extra balls. Reviewers regularly highlight the quality of the playing surfaces, with greens that roll true and tend to be quick. Friendly service and the on-site café earn frequent mentions, and the local kangaroos add to the relaxed, memorable atmosphere. It carries a reputation as a high-end, well-maintained course that rewards accurate ball-striking.
