History

The name Yanchep is of Aboriginal origin, and is derived from 'yanget', a native flax or bullrush.
Surveyor R. Quin first recorded the name for Lake Yanchep in September 1866.
The Yanchep Golf Clubhouse was one of the buildings used by the RAAF during World War II. The
Superintendent of Yanchep National Park, W. Burnett, donated the building for use by the golf club.
Members of the club relocated the building to its current location. Local Cray fisherman Hob Hoy
founded the Yanchep Golf Club in 1965.
