The latest course upgrade has just been completed which was part of our last grant to upgrade the old course sprinkler system to the new system. We also refurbished the 2nd hole to remove areas where water laid during heavy downpours but this meant adding a bunker to the front right hand of the 2nd green and laid storm pipes to remove this excess water. Many thanks goes to our Wednesday Warrior boys, Ben Smith from TurftechSA and 15 of our members who came out and helped lay the 150sq/m of grass. Follow the change below

Revamping the entrance area through to the Ladies toilets is being investigated as part of a government grant (through Susan Close) for improving facilities for Women in Sport.
We have an application to the council for a grant to purchase a new PA system.
Retainer walls down one side the tee blocks on the 1st, 2nd, 5th/14th, 6th/15th and around the back and side of the 8th/17th are also being looked at.
We are currently finalising quotes on the shed, pergola and hitting nets, so work will commence soon.
The new window overlooking the 9th green was completed in early December 2016. Many thanks must go to Brett Strickland and his company Australian Classic Homes for the installation work.

A new buggy has been bought using funds received from a government grant. We also will be adding 3 more buggies to our fleet (4) once the new shed extension has been completed. All buggies are as per the photo below.
The club was successfull in receiving a $25,000 dollar for dollar grant which will be used to upgrade facilities for the Members and visitors of our club. The items are:
- New window to look out over the 9th green.
- 3 metre extension to the shed for the storage of 6 buggies. (Sorry all spaces have been taken)
- 50 square metre pergola looking out over the 9th green with outdoor furniture.
- 2 hitting nets alongside the 1st tee block for use by Members before teeing off.
- New BBQ area to be built under the new pergola.
Two other grants were received to upgrade the sprinkler system on the 7th from the 200 metre mark to the green. Sprinklers now run parallel to the fairway. This concept was also done to the whole 8th fairway to give us better watering coverage. Both fairways now have full grass coverage.
A grant was obtained to install two 5 metre high netts on the 9th for safety to members and vistors outside the clubrooms.
