Overview The championship course is a par-72 layout that winds its way through undulating ground, native gum-trees, and indigenous vegetation. Designed by Alex Russell in 1928 and opened for play in 1930, the course has seen a number of changes in its lifetime. The most significant changes occurred between 2007 and 2008, when Michael Clayton Golf Design was enlisted to undertake a significant overhaul of the golf course to return it, aesthetically and architecturally, to Alex Russell's principles. Dominated by the lake from which the course gets its name, the most memorable holes are ones which run adjacent to and over this natural feature.

Course Record The course record of 63 is shared and was initially achieved by South African,
Retief Goosen, playing in the 2002
Johnnie Walker Classic. The record was then equalled in the same event the following year by Australian golfer
Craig Spence.
Rankings Lake Karrinyup is consistently ranked as one of the top 20 courses in Australia. A slip in its ranking early in the 2000s was part of the motive for the Clayton redesign. == Events ==
