Karratha Country Club

Remote grassed links golf with sea views and undulating greens

Karratha Country Club is a public 18-hole links course in Bulgarra, Western Australia, playing to a par of 54 over 5,778 metres. Originally designed by Murray Dawes and established in 1972, it was redesigned by Richard Chamberlain in 2022 and is now a fully grassed links course with undulating greens and just three mapped bunkers. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, and parking.

Set in one of the more remote corners of Western Australia, the course has a reputation as a welcoming spot where the golf comes paired with relaxed clubhouse hospitality. Players consistently praise the immaculate fairways and grassed greens that followed the 2022 redesign, with many noting how well the course is presented for such a far-flung location. The undulating greens and near-bunkerless links layout draw positive comment, though a few visitors say they miss the challenge of a sand trap or two. Beyond the round, reviewers regularly single out the friendly people and the easygoing appeal of sitting back with a cold drink overlooking the course. Overall it's regarded as a surprisingly polished and enjoyable place to play, well worth seeking out on a trip through the region.
