Play it as it lies...

COVID-19 Update
You will all be aware that as of today, members who are fully vaccinated can play in groups of three or four. All others will be playing in 2's till further notice. To find out the details and a list of FAQs please refer to the  Golf NSW web page by clicking HERE. Take a look at the FAQ's, they should provide the answers you require.

Course Update...

PLAYING THE 14TH AND 15TH HOLE
As safety is our primary concern, all players are reminded to stand behind the 14th green once the hole is finished and let the group on the 14th tees' tee off before either teeing off the Blues or walking to the Red/White tee box.
Likewise, those on the 14th tees' are to wait till the group in front has teed off the 15th Blue tee.
​Thank you.

8th Hole Top Dressing
Last Thursday the replaced turf near the green and the repaired area at the top of the hill were top dressed with sand.  The grass will rapidly grow through the sand at this time of year and assist with bringing these areas back to a normal surface.  These areas are GUR.

As the title above indicates, due to the course drying out, preferred lies are no longer with us and we play it as it lies.  Please note this change is on your score card and is on the Course Signs as you walk from the car park and to the Pro-Shop. Enjoy the additional run on the course.
