Meadow Springs Golf and Country Club

Overview: Meadow Springs Golf and Country Club is a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design in Mandurah, Western Australia, where open bushland, gentle contours and mature tuart trees frame the 18-hole course. The layout has a spacious character because few holes run parallel, yet the fairways and bunkers create enough definition to reward thoughtful positioning. Its woodland setting is distinctly Western Australian, with the trees and sandy ground doing as much visual work as the formal hazards. The official course material lists 6,189 metres, represented here by the directory's approximate 6,760-yard figure. The course is a clear example of Jones's ability to make a broad landscape read as a sequence of distinct holes.

History: Meadow Springs opened in 1987 and was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The club's official history emphasizes a course shaped by the natural features of the land, with the routing moving through open bushland rather than imposing a rigid geometric pattern. During its relatively short history, Meadow Springs hosted the West Australian Open Championship seven times, giving the course a significant place in the state's tournament record. The present identity remains closely tied to its original design intent: generous spaces, strong tree framing and a playable but demanding test.

Did You Know? The official course description says many of the surrounding tuart trees are about 200 years old. These towering trees do more than provide scenery. They make the holes feel separated from one another, helping create the sense of playing through a broad natural landscape even though the course sits close to Mandurah's urban area.
