Course Closed

Unfortunately, the heavy and persistent rain that closed both courses at the weekend has continued today and both courses remain closed.

The torrential rain on Friday evening/Saturday morning caused extensive flooding and the rainfall since has left both courses completely saturated.

In June the recorded rainfall was 149.6mm and this month we have already received 56.2mm.

That’s just over 8 inches of precipitation in 39 days.

Bunker washout

As you can see from the pictures above it’s highly unlikely that either of the courses will re-open tomorrow, even if the weather conditions improve dramatically.

Tomorrow, we will start pumping and clearing water from the putting surface and on Wednesday commence reinstatement of the bunkers.

Provided conditions continue to improve we hope to have both courses open for play on Wednesday morning.
