93-408: Is a 201-metre par 3 which requires a shot that carries the lake onto a raised green. Also notable is the 507-metre (554 yd) par-5 3rd hole which is flanked along its length by the lake, and the short 302-metre (330 yd) par-4 14th which, due to clever bunkering, presents a number of options off the tee. The championship course scorecard is as follows. Please note that all measurements are from

217-482: Is located 12 km north of Perth's central business district . Its local government area is the City of Stirling . The name Karrinyup was originally derived from the word Careniup , a Noongar name for a nearby swamp , an Aboriginal word apparently meaning "the place where bush kangaroos graze". It may also mean "the place where spiders are". In the 1840s, Samuel Moore took up a grant of 780 acres (3.2 km ) in
248-666: The City of Joondalup . Marmion Avenue then travels north through residential suburbs for 6.6 kilometres (4.1 mi), having traffic light controlled intersections with Warwick Road and Hepburn Avenue , before passing Westfield Whitford City shopping centre, near Whitfords Avenue . Marmion Avenue continues north through residential areas, intersecting with Ocean Reef Road , Hodges Drive , Shenton Avenue and Moore Drive, and passing by Currambine Central Shopping Centre, before intersecting with Burns Beach Road .

279-710: The City of Wanneroo and travelling through 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) of undeveloped land in Tamala Park . Marmion Avenue provides access to the Tamala Park Rubbish Disposal Site. Marmion Avenue then travels through the Clarkson – Butler region for 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi), intersecting with Neerabup Road, Hester Avenue and Lukin Drive; the former two intersections also connect with discontinuous sections of Anchorage Drive — “south” and “north”, respectively. Marmion Avenue then travels northwards through
310-568: The City of Wanneroo for the rest of the road. Marmion Avenue is a four-lane dual carriageway for its entire length. The speed limit is mostly 70 km/h (43 mph), with brief 80 km/h (50 mph) sections in the Tamala Park section plus the Alkimos to Yanchep section, and a 60 km/h (37 mph) section near the northern terminus in Yanchep. The speed limit for most of Marmion Avenue

#1732880764669372-553: The City of Wanneroo $ 23 million to upgrade the road. It is being done in three stages, with the first stage up to Alkimos already completed. The whole project is scheduled to be complete by 2020. Extensions of Marmion Avenue are possible to Two Rocks . Currently, works are being conducted to extend Marmion Avenue to Toreopango Avenue in Yanchep with new local road connections "Marmion Ave Extension, Yanchep" . Perth's Transport at 3.5 million plan does not say that Marmion Avenue when

Marmion Avenue is managed by Main Roads Western Australia after previously being managed by the City of Joondalup from Ocean Reef Road to the City of Joondalup-Wanneroo boundary, and
465-1034: The Marmion Avenue / Hepburn Avenue intersection to fine people who run red lights and speed, so the number of road deaths in Western Australia can be reduced. In 2016, the existing Marmion Avenue / Mullaloo Drive intersection was upgraded from a non-signalised t-junction to a roundabout in response to a ranking as the 39th Worst Intersection. Pedestrian paths were re-aligned, off-road cycling paths were added, Western Power light poles were upgraded and crash barriers were installed to protect residents and pedestrians. As part of Main Roads Western Australia's Traffic Congestion Management Program, Marmion Avenue's intersections with Hepburn Avenue and Whitfords Avenue were upgraded during 2016 and 2017 to improve traffic flow and safety. Between 2010 and 2015, there were 249 crashes at both of these intersections combined, and 72,000 vehicle use both these intersections per day. This project
496-468: The course has seen a number of changes in its lifetime. The most significant changes occurred between 2007 and 2008, when Michael Clayton Golf Design was enlisted to undertake a significant overhaul of the golf course to return it, aesthetically and architecturally, to Alex Russell's principles. Dominated by the lake from which the course gets its name, the most memorable holes are ones which run adjacent to and over this natural feature. The signature 8th hole
527-422: The empty stretch between Burns Beach Road & Quinns Rocks. In 2000 and 2001, Reid Highway was extended as a two lane road from its terminus at Mitchell Freeway to Marmion Avenue, providing another link to the east. This section was later upgraded to a four-lane dual carriageway in 2015–2016. After delays due to disagreements at State Government level about what route the road should follow, Marmion Avenue
558-488: The northern part of the suburb. Moore's grant, Swan Location 92 was surveyed by P Chauncey in 1844 and Chauncey recorded a large swamp just to the east of Karrinyup as Careniup Swamp. In 1929, the foundation committee developing the Lake Karrinyup Country Club golf course opted to change the spelling. While the area had been subdivided by Charles Stoneman in 1904 and roads built, the country club remained
589-461: The only significant feature in the area, and rapid growth did not begin until 1957, with the part south of Karrinyup Road developing first. At this stage, the only access to the area from Perth was via Wanneroo Road and Balcatta Beach Road. The building of the Mitchell Freeway to Karrinyup Road in 1983-84 facilitated the growth of Karrinyup and nearby Stirling as a regional hub. Karrinyup
620-437: The recently developed suburbs of Alkimos and Eglinton , providing access to current and future developments. After 8 kilometres (5 mi), Marmion Avenue reaches the outer suburb of Yanchep at a large roundabout with Yanchep Beach Road . North of the roundabout, Splendid Avenue branches off eastward to a local sporting ground while Marmion Avenue, now a two-lane road, provides both access to newer residential development in
651-689: The remaining extension to Two Rocks will occur, One possible complication would be Two Rocks's past use as a munitions dump, meaning that most non-suburban sections of the suburb are fenced off. The ultimate plan is for Marmion Avenue to become a six-lane dual carriageway between Alkimos and Yanchep, and a four-lane dual carriageway for the rest of the road. Also, the intersection with Yanchep Beach Road may be grade separated by 2050. However, these plans have since been placed on perminate hold, with changes to Perth's future transport plan ongoing. Perth and Peel @ 3.5 million plan has since altered these plans, favouring an extension of Mitchell Freeway to Two Rocks and

#1732880764669682-454: The road its namesake. Until the early 1980s, the road was a two-lane single carriageway connecting the coastal suburbs of Marmion and Mullaloo Beach . In 1984–85, the road was extended southwards to Karrinyup Road where it joined seamlessly onto West Coast Highway , which had been realigned further inland around the same time.

837-405: Was duplicated up to Whitfords Avenue . In early 1986, it was assigned State Route 71 , and from then on was gradually extended as a single carriageway road further north – extending first to Prendiville Avenue (just north of Ocean Reef Road ), to Burns Beach Road in 1991 and to Quinns Road in the mid-1990s. Marmion Avenue was finally duplicated to its terminus in 2001, with the last portion being
868-570: Was extended further north to Yanchep and opened to traffic in November 2008. The extension opened as a single carriageway, but earthworks have already been undertaken to enable conversion to dual carriageway at a later date, which eventuated starting from 2018. The extension also features roundabouts at future major junctions. The completion of this extension allowed the future satellite city of Alkimos / Eglinton to begin construction. On 1 July 2010, fixed red light and speed cameras were installed at
899-536: Was funded by the state government, and cost $ 12 million. Longer and additional turning lanes were added, pedestrian and cycling facilities were upgraded, traffic signals were upgraded and power lines were put underground. CCTV was also installed so that Main Roads can monitor traffic flow. Construction started in November 2016 and finished ahead of schedule in May 2017. During 2017, works were undertaken to widen Marmion Avenue to
930-512: Was part of the motive for the Clayton redesign. Lake Karrinyup has played host to four Australian Opens (1952, 1960, 1968, 1974), two Lake Karrinyup Bowls (1963, 1964), two Johnnie Walker Classics (2002, 2003), and was the venue for the Perth International since 2012.
