As you will be aware we are currently under Cyclone Warning for Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which at the time of writing is forecast to cross the coast in South-East QLD, near Brisbane, late tomorrow night or early Friday morning. Regardless of its exact landfall location, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast regions are expected to experience severe weather conditions, including:

• Wind gusts of up to 150 km/h
• Heavy rainfall of up to 750 mm
• Possible flash flooding and hazardous road conditions

Given these conditions, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our staff, members and guests, we have made the decision to close the club from 5:00pm TODAY, Wednesday 5 March. This includes the golf course, clubhouse and cafe, Yoga Now studio and Champions Hair Beauty Day Spa.

We will remain closed throughout Thursday and Friday and will re-evaluate the situation prior to the weekend.

We will provide regular updates on our website, social media pages, and email notifications regarding any changes to our scheduled activities as soon as we are able. 

Well, it's been rather hectic from Monday morning 4am, where we commenced a double verticut at +2mm on all greens, followed by a double cut off with the green's mowers at 3mm to clean up any thatch and dead material. At the same time four of the other maintenance team were flat out brush cutting and edging all bunkers before weeding, blowing, brooming and finally raking back into play. Our plan is to complete as many bunkers as possible before the forecasted deluge arrives. On their way around the team has been brush cutting and cleaning all drains and gully pits making sure flood waters find their way off the paths and fairways and can exit the course via the waterways.

Currently we are still down to one fairway mower so it's vital that machine stays out every day. If we can get over all the fairways before the rain hits it will be a minor miracle, but we'll certainly be giving it our best shot. Tees received a cut on Tuesday and look sensational and we will endeavour to get all the tee surrounds cut by Wednesday as these areas always take the longest to dry out and get machinery back onto. The greens are looking a treat and the definition between greens, step cuts and surrounds really excites me at the moment. The height of cut from these three areas goes from 3mm to 8mm to 12mm and looks outstanding.
