Taiwan group golf tour, Perth WA

International Golf Specialists recently hosted two couples from Taiwan who were visiting Perth to experience some of the best golf courses in Western Australia. The Spring weather was perfect for each of the 10 November days that the group was here and provided ideal conditions for golf and exploring all the attractions that the city has to offer. The highlight for them, from a golfing perspective, was Joondalup Country Club. The fantastic 27 hole layout and immaculate conditioning meant the group just had to play the course again and requested another round there, which hadn’t been scheduled in their original itinerary. Of course, arranging an extra 18 holes at one of Australia’s best courses wasn’t a problem for the IGS team and the enjoyment of Joondalup Country Club for a second time added to the great golf the group also experienced at Araluen Country Club, Meadow Springs and The Vines.
On their time away from the golf courses, spending a couple of hours at Kings Park gave them a great view of the city and Swan River and was a good way to put the layout of Perth into perspective. A relaxing ferry ride from South Perth to the newly created Elizabeth Quay provided some photo opportunities for the shutter enthusiasts amongst them, and then it was time for a refreshing beverage at one of the open-air bars dotted along the waterfront.

One of the most popular destinations for people visiting Perth is the Swan Valley - home to many of Australia’s best vineyards. Mandoon Estate produces great wine and beer and has options of casual dining or fine dining in their restaurants. Prices are reasonable, and the buildings and grounds provide a great day out in a beautiful location.

One of the most rewarding parts of planning and providing a tour for our guests is the positive feedback we have from them. The IGS team strives to put together the perfect golf holiday of tour and we are finding that repeat business from previous guests wishing to revisit a favourite destination, or plan their next adventure at a new one is steadily growing. We are already beginning to plan a 2018 Tasmanian experience for this group and they will also be back to Perth again, such has been their enjoyment of the golf and city.

Perth's most popular golfing destinations

One of International Golf Specialists most popular destinations is to our home town of Perth. The golf here is fantastic and our recommendations for activities after your game make for a memorable holiday.

Joondalup Resort has 27 holes of golfing splendour. This is a must play course when visiting Perth and is only 20 minutes from the CBD. After a round here, check out Hillary’s Boat Harbour, just a short drive from the course, to take in a relaxing meal at one of the many restaurants along the waterfront.

Araluen Resort in the Perth Hills has 18 of the best holes anywhere in Australia, which wind their way through the West Australian bush. The Par 3 16th will always be a talking point. Its elevated tee provides a challenging shot to the green below, as well as some impressive hang time as the ball makes its long descent. A visit to the nearby Araluen Botanic Garden continues the natural experience. This is a truly beautiful and relaxing area and will certainly cap off a fantastic day of golf and unwinding.

To begin planning your Perth golf adventure, speak to the guys at International Golf Specialists about all the great courses and attractions we can include in your itinerary to make your golf holiday here the best it can be.
