The Links Kennedy Bay

The Links Kennedy Bay is a true links course situated forty minutes south of Perth, running alongside the Indian Ocean on Western Australia's coast. Designed by Michael Coate and the late Roger Mackay, in conjunction with 1991 British Open Champion Ian Baker Finch, the 18-hole par 72 opened in 2000 and is consistently ranked among Australia's top 20 courses and top 5 public access courses. The course plays through gently undulating sand dunes, with Windsor Green fairways winding past coastal wattle, grevillea, sedges and lilies. Its sandy base keeps conditions dry and fast year-round despite full irrigation, producing tight, running fairways in the Scottish and Irish links tradition. The large Bent greens are firm, fast and true, while 115 pot-style bunkers with revetted faces add both character and challenge throughout the round. From the white tees the course is accessible and enjoyable for golfers of all standards; from the black tees it becomes a demanding test both mentally and physically. Rated 4.4 by Hole19 golfers, The Links Kennedy Bay delivers a genuine links experience that rewards accurate, creative play.
