It is important to remember that the primary use of the area remains unchanged. This meaning that it is a Practice Fairway which as previously will involve players hitting balls exclusively from the designated hitting area at the far end to the fairway (near 27th hole) and balls travelling in the direction of the clubhouse.
Although additional safety measures have been added, mainly the net at the clubhouse end of the fairway, golf balls are not to be hit beyond the “new” yellow post that will signify the end of the fairway, (which will be short of the new 28th Green). This green’s use, in the main, will be limited to those using the practice bunker and for close range chipping with up to a maximum of 6 balls. Please refer to below image for specifications.
The new & improved short course will primarily be used by junior and new starter golfers and periodically made available for general use.
At all times, the Club Teaching Professionals have Practice fairway right of use, which is again an unchanged policy.
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all users, it is imperative that the practice fairway rules of use are followed.
