More Public Golf Courses for Kids in Perth

Three more Perth public courses, beyond our northern, southern and western suburbs guides, each with a real junior pathway.

Beyond our Perth northern, southern and western suburbs guides, three more public courses closer to the city each run a genuine, documented junior pathway.

Fremantle Public Golf Course — Fremantle

Fremantle Public Golf Course is a recently redesigned 9-hole, par-34 course beside Booyeembara Park, with a 10-bay all-grass driving range.

Runs a well-documented Junior Golf Academy in partnership with Golf Australia's MyGolf program, ages 6-15, over 8-10 week terms with a maximum of eight children per group, led by PGA-certified professional Charlie Knoll. Also runs school-holiday camps and is a partner site for Belgravia Leisure's TeeMates peer-play program. Green fees are reported as low-cost — confirm the current rate before visiting.

Hillview Public Golf Course — High Wycombe

Hillview Public Golf Course is a 27-hole all-grass public course in Maida Vale/High Wycombe, with its own driving range and short-game area.

Runs the "Academy of Golf at Hillview", offering group lessons, junior development and club fitting. Junior green fees are clearly published: $12 for 9 holes / $22 for 18 holes on weekdays (Year 10 and under), rising to $15 / $25 on weekends — well below the standard adult rate.

Collier Park Golf Course — Como

Collier Park Golf Course is a 27-hole, three-loop international-standard public course and practice facility about 10 minutes from the Perth CBD.

Offers general junior coaching and junior membership, and is also home to the Como Golf Academy, a partnership with Como Secondary College's Specialist Golf Academy giving enrolled students access to Collier Park's facilities and PGA coaches — a school-embedded elite pathway rather than a general walk-up junior clinic. Pricing is demand-based rather than fixed; weekend bookings are required.

Which has the clearest junior pricing?

Hillview's published junior green fees — as low as $12 for 9 holes on a weekday — are the clearest, most predictable pricing of the three.

At a glance

The 3 venues covered in this guide, side by side. "Junior program on file" means our directory holds specific evidence of a junior program, clinic or membership pathway at that club - not simply that children are permitted to play.

How to read this

Public access is the column most worth checking first. "Public" means anyone can book a tee time. "Limited / conditional" means visitor access exists but comes with conditions - a member introduction, restricted days, or a booking window. "Private members' club" means casual visitor play generally is not available, and a junior would usually need a member connection or a place in a club program.

Course length matters more than parents expect for a first outing. 1 of the 3 venues here are a shorter format - a par-3, short course, pitch and putt, practice facility or 9-hole layout - which usually means a faster round, less walking and less pressure from groups behind. For a child who has never played a full round, that is normally the better starting point than a championship-length course.

Before you book

3 of these 3 venues have a junior program, clinic or junior membership pathway recorded in our directory: Fremantle Public Golf Course, Hillview Public Golf Course, Collier Park Golf Course. Those are the ones most likely to have coaching, junior competition or a structured pathway rather than only green-fee access.

All the venues listed here are recorded as public access, so a parent can normally book without a member connection. Tee-time availability still varies, especially on weekend mornings.

Two questions are worth asking on the phone that club websites rarely answer clearly: whether juniors pay a discounted green fee when playing with a paying adult, and whether the club hires out junior clubs. Both make a first visit considerably cheaper, and both are common even at clubs that don't advertise them.
