About The Vines Golf Course

The Vines Resort operates golf at Verdelho Drive in The Vines, Western Australia, within Perth's Swan Valley. The current resort website identifies its principal course as an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout measuring 5,783 metres from the white tees with a slope rating of 128. It also operates a separate nine-hole golf course, so the facility should not be represented as a single 27-hole scorecard.

The resort's golf origins date to 1989, when Graham Marsh and Ross Watson designed the original championship courses. Historically The Vines contained the separate Lakes and Ellenbrook 18-hole layouts and staged significant professional tournaments, including the Heineken Classic and Johnnie Walker Classic. Current public golf is available through online bookings, with weekday and weekend green fees published for the Championship 18.

The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 5,783m, slope rating 128. Designed by Graham Marsh and Ross Watson, the course originally opened in 1989. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Pro Shop, Mini Golf, Restaurant, Café, Bar, Swimming Pool, Gym, and 2 more.

Origins

The Vines golf development dates to the late 1980s, with Graham Marsh and Ross Watson commissioned to design the championship golf component. The courses opened in 1989.

Did You Know?
The golf complex historically operated two separate 18-hole championship courses, Lakes and Ellenbrook.

Design Philosophy

Contemporary descriptions of the original courses emphasise the use of the Swan Valley landscape, strategic bunkering, grassy hollows and water to create consequences for inaccurate play while retaining playable landing areas.

Development

For many years the resort operated two distinct 18-hole courses, Lakes and Ellenbrook. The current resort presentation has changed: it now markets a principal 18-hole Championship course and a separate nine-hole golf course.

Recognition

The Lakes course appeared in Australian national course rankings and The Vines gained broader recognition through its long association with professional tournament golf.

Today

The resort currently offers public golf on an 18-hole Championship course and a separate nine-hole course alongside accommodation, dining, practice and leisure facilities.
