Royal Perth Golf Club is a historic golf course set on the Swan River foreshore in South Perth. Established in 1895 and awarded a Royal Charter in 1937, Royal Perth offers a classic parkland championship golf experience — a par-72 layout measuring approximately 6,038 metres with narrow, tree-lined fairways and fast, well-bunkered greens that reward precision and thoughtful shot-making. The club’s elegant clubhouse and riverside setting create a memorable arrival and viewing experience, while practice facilities and a professional shop support both casual rounds and serious preparation. Royal Perth has a long reputation within Western Australia for hosting state championships and prominent local events, and its mature tree canopy and strategic design elements deliver a testing yet fair challenge for all skill levels. Whether you’re a visitor seeking a premium course near central Perth or a member looking for competitive tournament play and social amenities, Royal Perth Golf Club combines heritage, quality maintenance, and a quintessential riverside layout — a must-play destination for golfers visiting Perth.
