Six years ago, the Golf Club officially opened the new water supply, which at that time was only replacing a salty open soak supply to water tee boxes and a strip around the greens.

 

In the four years after that signal event, the club had established the automatic irrigation system and network which now covers the entire playing area. Recently this was extended to include the practice fairway and green, effectively completing the project.

​

There are some replacement power poles ready to install, which will ensure the existing supply line is secured for decades to come.

The course is now in very good condition, and we are in our third year of summer competition. The golf club members, and general public have access to golf all year round.

​

Three formal competitions are run by the club weekly, plus an informal competition organised by a group of members. Every day there are dozens of golfers using the facilities, including walk up local residents and tourists.

​

The benefits of regular play and practice can be seen in the number of members sporting single figure handicaps, currently a record 15 players!

​

The advent of golf play throughout the hotter months has had some consequences… there are now 40 motorised carts housed at the club. Additional air conditioning has been installed in the club house, to make ‘after golf’ more comfortable. A third Captain has been appointed to help with organising and managing the extra competitions enabled by extending the previous six-month season to the full year.

​

Course maintenance requires attention every day, and there are many more mower hours to fill.

​

All of the attention to club house, catering and bar operations of course also now require 12 months effort.100% of the work done around the course and in the clubhouse is carried out by volunteers.
