About The Vines
The Vines Resort & Golf Course offers visiting golfers a true taste of Western Australia, with its signature Championship Course a standout having hosted many world class events.
Home to the Heineken Classic – an Australian & European Tour event – from 1993 to 2005, The Vines has also been home to some fantastic junior events including the Mastercard Junior Masters during the early 2000’s.
Set in the heart of the Swan Valley wine region, a short 30 minute drive from the Perth CBD, the course winds through towering gum trees, lakes, and sculpted fairways that reward precision while showcasing the region’s natural beauty.
Beyond the course, The Vines delivers resort‑style comfort, gourmet dining, and easy access to local award‑winning nature parks, wineries, restaurants and local producers.
