1. Green replacement program: Resurfacing of Holes 2,7,8 & the East Green is on schedule to commence 8 September 2025. 18 holes will be available for play as Holes 11,12 and 13 will open. While each hole is closed, works such as re-levelling tees, fixing the drainage in bunkers and work on out of play areas will be occurring. Read more.

2. Short-term golf arrangements: Between September 25, 2025, and mid-January 2026, 73% of our usual tee times are available for 18-hole competitions (same 9 holes played twice). Mondays have fewer tee times due to course maintenance. Additionally, at least four clubs have 128 tee times per week for us, resulting in more golf opportunities than usual. Read more.
