Pleasingly warm overnight temperatures have helped the Course steadily return to healthier overall conditions — a positive development as the Course and Maintenance Team prepare to commence the annual weed eradication program.
Looking ahead, the Club’s Major Annual Course Renovations are scheduled for the week commencing October 20. These works will be comprehensive and invasive, focusing on the removal of thatch and grain throughout key playing areas. Renovation tasks will include tees and fairways, with particular attention to holes 19–27. The practice fairway greens and tees will also undergo renovation during this period.
The 7th and 8th greens have now been sprigged with stolons. Grow mats have been installed to assist in establishing healthy turf. Please be aware that irrigation will run hourly to maintain optimal moisture levels for stolon development.
We’re also pleased to report that construction of the new concrete pathway along the left-hand side of the 14th fairway is now complete. Fresh turf has been laid, and the grow-in phase is nearly finished. This area, including the surrounding turf, will be open for play shortly.
