The top-rated WA layout is Joondalup Country Club’s Quarry/Dune course in 8th position, with ocean-side favourite The Cut the next best in 20th.

Meanwhile, The Vines Championship Course, Secret Harbour, Bunbury GC, Araluen GC and public powerhouses Wembley and Whaleback were all ranked between 50-100.
