Renovation programmes have progressed quickly in the last fortnight with renovation to greens, tees and fairways well and truly underway.

Greens have recovered quickly since renovation commenced last week and they are now being regularly mown and rolled. Mowing heights are coming down gradually as turf grows back through topdressing sand and normal maintenance heights of cut should be achievable by the latter half of next week. Once we have achieved this, we will be re-applying another amount of topdressing sand to further even up surfaces.

Tee renovation was completed in 3 days this week and this included both the coring and scarifying and clean up of all tees.

Fairway renovation has just commenced with the completed coring of the 5th fairway and the completed scarifying of the 8th, 11th, 15th and 18th fairways. It is expected that all fairway renovation will be completed by the middle of November but this will depend on play commitments and of course the weather.

While this renovation is underway, please be patient and take care when playing shots towards machinery operators.

Greens are recovering well from renovation.
