Pasture Golf Australia - Yanchep National Park Golf Course
|
 Spend
a great day out with the kangaroos and other Australian natives,
as you drive, chip and putt around Australia's Yanchep National
Park 9-hole golf course. Park officials emphasize that all animals
in the park are wild and should be approached with appropriate caution
and respect, whether they are on the greens, by the tee boxes or
in the rough. Playing Yanchep is an experience you will be able
to write home about.
Located 50 kilometers north of downtown Perth, about an hour's
drive, or you can take the bus to play the 9-hole bushland golf
course at Yanchep National Park!
 |
Other Yanchep National Park attractions include walking
trails such as the Boomerang Gorge Trail, Ghost House Trail
and Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail. You can also enjoy the
scenic wetlands of Loch McNess where rowboats are for hire.
Thank you to Dave and Sue Hancock of Harrisburg, Oregon,
for sending in their Australia vacation pictures from August,
2000, of the Yanchep National Park Golf Course!

|
"Have a goodun" when you play on your honour
at the Yanchep Golf Club.
|
|
The 2,842 hectare park is reknowned for spectacular
tuart and banksia woodlands. |
|
|
Plants as well as animals are protected in Yanchep National
Park. If a ball falls near a staked tree, it must be lifted and dropped
within two club lengths of the tree, without penalty. |
|
|
Straight drives play well on this course. Out of bounds
and too tall trees make slices and hooks both losing propositions.
|
|
|
The etiquette of play includes the rule that players
looking for a lost ball must allow other matches coming up to pass
them and should not continue play until those players are out of range. |
|
|
Can you find the roo or is that just a big guy looking
for a lost ball? |
|
|
Yanchep is home to koalas (a major park attraction since
1938) and western grey kangaroos which often can be seen on the golf
course greens, fairways... |
|
|
and at the tee boxes, too. |
|
|
While you may not see the nocturnal bandicoot, you
may find your ball has come to rest in places where bandicoots dig
for grubs. |
|
|
The obvious penalty for overshooting this green is another
lost ball. |
|
|
Yanchep has three holes of more than 400 metres length.
The third hole is the longest of the course at 439 metres and a par
5. |
|
|
Play at Yanchep can give you the feeling of a walk in
the wild woods. |
