Membership Fees & Irrigation Levy

Invoices for Membership Fees will be sent out shortly

. You will notice that there is a new $50 Irrigation Levy added to all membership types (except Juniors). The levy was voted in at the last AGM and will be applied to the irrigation loan to pay the debt down (in addition to the regular payments). Once the loan is paid down the levy will be removed (as agreed at the 2023 AGM).

If you would like to switch to a Direct Debit arrangement for your Membership Fees please request this via an email to the Club Secretary.

No Preferred Lie

There will be no preferred lie from Friday 23rd February until further notice. This applies to all competition golf.

New Back Tees - 15th & 17th

The new back tees on the 15th and 17th were turfed a few weeks ago. These tees are out of bounds and not to be used for play until they are officially opened for use. A big thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the turfing, the tees are already looking really good.

11th Tee - Compulsory Drop for Stroke Rounds

If your ball goes in the dam from the 11th Tee there is a Compulsory Drop Zone behind the red tees for Stroke rounds (only). This applies to all tees (blue/white/red). A 1-stroke penalty applies.

Ladies Open

The Ladies Open was a huge success this year with 80 ladies playing on the Saturday and 88 on the Sunday. A huge thank you to everyone who helped to get the course ready for this event, and to all the volunteers who helped out during the event. We have had loads of positive feedback from all the clubs who attended and they were very complimentary about the course, food and overall hospitality.

A big thanks also to all the cart owners who loaned their carts for the weekend, it definitely wouldn’t have been as successful without the extra carts so we are very grateful.

Super Shot

There will be a $3 Super Shot for all Monthly Medals going forward. A Super Shot is a Nearest The Pin where participants pay $3 to enter and the winner takes all. Entry in the Super Shot is optional, you must register with the Starter before your round to be eligible.
