Cottesloe Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Cottesloe Golf Course without battling the elements?

We've found late autumn (April-May) or early spring (September-October) offers the most pleasant conditions. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and the occasional winter downpours, enjoying comfortable temperatures and typically lighter breezes for your round.

What's the real challenge at Cottesloe, and are there any holes I should particularly look forward to?

The wind is your biggest adversary here, often swirling off the coast and making club selection tricky, especially on the exposed back nine. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a beautiful, demanding hole where a precise shot is crucial to avoid the bunkers guarding the green.

Is Cottesloe Golf Course accessible for international visitors, and what's the best way to secure a tee time?

Absolutely, Cottesloe welcomes visitors, but it's a popular members' club, so planning ahead is key. We highly recommend booking your tee time well in advance, especially for weekend play, by contacting their pro shop directly to check visitor availability and rates.

After a round at Cottesloe, what's the vibe like at the clubhouse, and are there good options for food and drink?

The clubhouse at Cottesloe offers a classic, relaxed atmosphere with fantastic views, perfect for unwinding. You'll find a well-stocked bar and a dining area serving up quality meals, making it an ideal spot to recount your birdies (and bogeys) while overlooking the course.

Does Cottesloe offer those iconic Australian coastal golf views, or is it more of an inland track?

While not directly on the beach, Cottesloe certainly delivers on the coastal feel with its undulating terrain and glimpses of the Indian Ocean from several elevated points, particularly on the back nine. The course design cleverly integrates the natural landscape, giving you that distinct Western Australian golf experience.
