Course Update
The recent (and ongoing) rain has enhanced the course. Whilst there are some areas with minor flooding, the course is in great condition. Ironically, the watering system pumps recently received some replacement parts which allows the staff to use all 3 pumps for the first time in over 4 years.
I remind all players to keep up the divot repair progress. This rain will have washed away the sand in many of the divots.
