Course open


On Tuesday morning the course dried up enough to reopen 1-18 holes. Holes 19-27 remain closed due to water logging in the low areas, we hope to reopen these holes sometime on Thursday. We are slowly catching up on cutting across the course with greens been cut once again with the triple mowers, surrounds have been cut and groomed, fairways cut, semi rough mostly cut, tees cut, tee sides will be cut tomorrow and the bank sides on 10/13/14 will be sprayed for weeds.

7th green

1st hole
We have also turfed the 23rd green side bunker after the area has recently been seeded. Due to the recent wet weather the bunker is currently full of water. A drain in the bunker and at the bottom of the bank is to be installed when ground conditions allow. Some damage has also been caused to the seeded area with water run off, this will be repaired shortly.
