About the course
Cult-favourite coastal 9-holer winding through Binningup's gentle beach dunes
Binningup Golf Course is a public 9-hole heathland course in Western Australia, established in 1986 and located a short drive north of Bunbury. Its holes are arranged in a single loop through gently moving beach dunes, with pleasant coastal outlooks, and it is known locally as the Lakewood Shores golf course. The course operates an 'honesty box' green fee system and has long been managed by a single green keeper.
Often drawing comparisons to the back nine at Pacific Grove in California, Binningup has earned a 'cult' reputation for the quality and character of its understated, attractive holes. Reviewers consistently highlight the warm, friendly atmosphere, with volunteers behind a welcoming clubhouse where the kitchen, meals and keenly priced drinks come in for particular praise. It's described as a genuinely happy place and something of a local institution, especially on Friday evenings and club days. The uncluttered, single-loop layout through coastal dunes is regarded as one of Australia's most enjoyable 9-hole experiences, well worth a stop for anyone travelling south from Perth.
