Golfers are having to book a week in advance just to get on a course in Bayswater.

The city has gone all Caddyshack following the closure of the Burswood public golf course in April, with golfers suffering withdrawal symptoms swamping the Maylands Peninsula and Embleton courses.

Bayswater mayor Terry Kenyon said the freshwater lakes made Maylands Peninsula a challenging and picturesque 18-hole course.

“It is becoming the course of choice and natural replacement for many of the golfers who previously played at the Burswood,” he said.

MPGC has a a floodlit driving range, pitch and putt and motorised cart hire.

EGC is a tighter, more challenging nine holes.
