Golf Course up to Par

Armadale Golf Course is a 9-hole golf course co-located in a beautiful Bush Forever environment next to the Forrestdale Lake. The golf course has been completely renovated with the complete reconstruction of all greens, tees and fairways, minor kiosk improvements, site power and fresh water upgrades, replacement and upgrade of the irrigation system and a new maintenance and buggy shed, delivered by the City of Armadale in partnership with the Department of Sport and Recreation and Golf Oracle.

The course is expected to be reopened in November, offering a quality facility for City of Armadale residents and visitors to enjoy.

Mayor Henry Zelones OAM, JP said the project has been extensive, and it is fantastic that through assistance from the State Government’s Community Sport and Recreation Facilities fund, Golf Oracle and our own investment, we have been able to enhance this facility.

“The course is growing in nicely, and will benefit from a strong Spring season prior to opening,” Mayor Zelones said.

Golf Oracle is a WA-based golf management company and has added Armadale to its illustrious list of WA courses including Maylands Peninsula, Embleton and Lake Claremont.
Matthew Harding of Golf Oracle said it has been great to work with the City of Armadale on this project, and the company looks forward to opening the facility next month.

“I think Armadale residents and visitors will really enjoy the revitalised Armadale Golf Course, we are looking forward to providing a quality course in Armadale,” Matthew said.
