Royal Perth’s vision is for our members to have an exceptional experience, creating lifelong memories.<\/p>\n

Whilst membership at Royal Perth can be seen as quite exclusive, the process of joining is not overly onerous. The Club has two application processes, the standard application process and an alternative application process.<\/p>\n

The preferred standard process<\/strong> requires that you have five current voting members of the Club, support your application.<\/p>\n

The alternative process<\/strong> requires that you submit a letter of recommendation from another club at which you have been a member (not necessarily a golf or sporting club), three written personal or professional references and a current police clearance.<\/p>\n

The process then involves the candidate attending a membership induction with the Vice President (or a nominated delegate) and golfing members must also participate in a playing\/rules\/etiquette session. New Member intakes usually occur on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n

Once inducted or prior to the induction, Members must agree to abide by the Constitution, By-Laws and Policies of the Club.\u200b<\/p>\n

Membership is open to Men and Women in a number of different categories to suit most needs. Prospective Junior members<\/strong> should visit the junior page<\/a>\u00a0for relevant information.<\/p>\n

Royal Perth currently has a successful membership special designed to attract new Women members which are; Introduction to Golf Program. Click here<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n

Prospective members can contact our membership department on\u00a0(08) 6436 4900 or via email<\/a>\u00a0for further information or an application form.<\/p>\n
