Best Golf Courses for Kids in Perth's Western Suburbs

Three real public courses across Perth's riverside western suburbs — Point Walter, Royal Perth and Wembley — each with genuine family and junior facilities.

Perth's riverside western suburbs — Bicton, South Perth and Wembley Downs — have three genuinely public, family-oriented golf courses close to the CBD. Here's what each one offers.

Point Walter Golf Course — Bicton

Point Walter Golf Course is a City of Melville public course close to the CBD, with an 18-hole goanna-themed mini golf course alongside the main layout — genuinely family-friendly beyond just the golf.

It's one of four WA courses — alongside Carramar, Marangaroo and Fremantle Public — hosting the TeeMates junior golf series, run in partnership with Golf Australia.

Royal Perth Golf Club — South Perth

Royal Perth Golf Club runs MyGolf beginner lessons during school terms on weekday afternoons and weekend mornings, open to both members and non-members, at around $180 per 8-session term.

The club offers junior membership tiers for under-18s, including a full-course-access tier and a restricted after-3:30pm tier, with a subsidised transitional membership through to age 30.

Wembley Golf Course — Wembley Downs

Wembley Golf Course is a 36-hole public complex managed by the Town of Cambridge and one of the most-visited golf facilities in WA, with an 80-bay two-tier automated driving range and an 18-hole themed mini-golf course.

Wembley is the only course in WA with a dedicated PGA Learning and Performance Centre on-site, making it a strong option for families wanting structured junior coaching alongside casual practice.

Which is best for a family day out, not just a lesson?

Point Walter and Wembley both pair their golf with a themed mini-golf course, making either a good pick for a family day where not everyone wants to play a full round.
