Course Update - February 2014


Out on the course we have started our spring bunker refurbishment program. The bunkers on both courses are being edged, cleaned out and sand levels replenished.

The approaches and walkways have been intensively aerated with 19mm diameter tines to a depth of between 150/180mm. These areas are now being top-dressed with sand and brushed. In time this type of maintenance will improve the drainage and playability of these areas.

This winter many hours have been spent re-furbishing the course furniture. The course and balcony benches have been sanded down and received several wood treatments. Tee markers, course bins, planter boxes, flag pins etc have all been prepped and re-painted, ensuring they are in pristine condition for the start of the new playing season.

The newly re-built 7th medal tee is rooting extremely well and has recently been lightly top-dressed and brushed. Weather permitting this tee should be ready for play from the beginning of April.

In the workshop, the grass cutting machinery and our extensive range of course maintenance equipment is being serviced and made ready for the start of the new season.

The small garden at the entrance to the overflow car park has also received a make over and the signage around the clubhouse has been replaced.
