There aren't too many places in the world where you can swing a golf club while taking in a coastal vista, or while sharing the green with a friendly kangaroo.
In Western Australia, you'll find plenty of golf courses offering top quality facilities, as well as beautiful natural settings.
And our famous temperate climate means its perfect weather for teeing off just about all year round.
Here, golf ranges from world-renowned resort courses where five star luxury is all part of the experience, to lush public layouts available for very reasonable rates.
