Cart Speed Reminder

A friendly reminder to all members / guests to keep cart speeds to a safe level, particularly when carts on paths only conditions are in place. We've noticed an increase in the speed of private carts around the course & clubhouse area, which raises safety concerns for fellow players, other cart users and course staff. Fast-moving carts can also cause damage to the cart path edges and surrounding green space. 

Please take extra care and drive at a controlled pace when using the cart paths around the golf course & clubhouse. Your cooperation helps keep the course safe, enjoyable, and in great condition for everyone.

9th Hole - Yellow Penalty Area

The penalty area relief options on hole 9 if your golf ball enters have been updated.

Please make sure you are familiar with the updated procedure

The course played and presented well for the first two rounds of this year’s club championships. The weather was on our side and with the greens cut and rolled on both days the speed was consistent and quick on all greens. This week the course maintenance will be a case of rinse and repeat coming into the final two rounds with all greens being dusted on Monday, foliar fertilised on Wednesday with cutting and rolling each day from Thursday through to Sunday.

The tees will receive another foliar fertiliser on Wednesday. They coloured up nicely with new growth evident and the distinction between tee deck and surround was very pleasing. Fairways and green surrounds were cut over the Monday / Tuesday period and look great. We have opened the 6th fairway for cart traffic once again much to everyone’s delight. The area up the LHS has recovered well from the Winter shade with the carts on path rule really helping its recovery time.

The greens were cut and rolled and the bunkers hand raked all in readiness for round 1

Monday night we flushed the greens with an application of SoCal. With our irrigation water not being the greatest for growing turf or turf recovery the high levels of sodium in the greens at present are toxic for turf health. SoCal is a liquid calcium fertiliser designed to treat and remove sodium from the soil. The high concentration of calcium forces the sodium away from the soil. The displaced sodium can then be washed away through the profile by irrigation or rainfall. We applied SoCal at the rate of 100L /ha on all greens and step cuts. In total 200L was applied in 1400L of water before 25minutes of irrigation was used. The reason we spray of a nighttime is not to disturb the golfers in their daily rounds. It’s a long night but there are never any complaints!

Good luck to everyone for the final two rounds of the club championships this weekend. The pins will be a little tougher this week and some of the holes a tad longer. We will be using the back tees on several holes to make the course more competitive whilst staying within the guidelines of the blue slope rating. Hit them well and hopefully straight!

See you on course.
