Course Info / Golf Program Changes

Due to recent weather conditions, the course will be closed to golf carts until May 6th. Ongoing rainfall has left the grounds quite saturated, and water is not draining away as efficiently as we would like. This temporary measure is necessary to protect the course and maintain its quality for all players.

Our grounds staff will continue to closely monitor and assess conditions over the coming days, with a full review scheduled for next week. We will keep you updated on any changes and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in the meantime.

Men’s Saturday 2nd May – Walkers only Medley – 1 Division (Men’s Monthly Medal will be pushed back to 16th May)

Mixed Sunday 3rd May – Competition Cancelled.

Monday Vets – 4th Competition Cancelled.

Tuesday Ladies 5th – Competition cancelled.

Wednesday 6th May – Pending Approval for Carts. This will be confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you to Twin Towns for the practice net facilities being repaired and upgraded with net grass and nets.

Let’s hope the rain buggers off

Course Info

While this weather hammers the course and the course is trying to drain that excess water away, the grounds staff are out on the course giving some much needed love to those over hanging tree’s. This week they are trimming back the trees on the right hand side of the fairway / rough and aim to trim the fig tree this week on the 1st / 10th hole. The plan over the next few weeks is that the ground staff will be cutting back a lot of those over hanging limbs. For those people who hit the fairway off the tee this will be good news and you shouldn’t be blocked off to the green while being on the fairway. Please be patient, the grounds staff will doing this over time and hole by hole.

You will also notice the new nearest to the pin (NTP) letter box’s on course. The old ones were in needed of replacing and will be installed this week. Please note the location of the 2nd / 11th NTP letter box will change. The new location will be behind the toilets on the path side. All other NTP letter boxes will remain in the same locations.

The hedges on the 9th tee block will be trimmed down as well as the Men’s 15th Tee block from the blue markers.

A big shoutout to Brandon and the Boys for being out there in the horrid conditions trying to bring back the course to a playable state and to get those carts back on course ASAP. Much appreciated Gents and thank you for your hard work.

Please keep checking the blogs for updates on course conditions and changes to competitions.
