Members will have an opportunity to play the 19th hole next week, as it is will be officially opened on Tuesday, 18th April 2017. The hole will be in play until Sunday, 23rd April, while the 3rd hole will be closed due to course staff undertaking bunker refurbishment works.
The importance of spare holes has become much more evident in recent years with increasing player numbers making regular course maintenance works more difficult to schedule. A spare hole provides members with the opportunity to play a full 18-hole golf course at all times, even with one hole out of play for maintenance works. The experience for members is markedly better, and savings through more efficient course maintenance work practices helps the Club logistically and financially.
The flexibility of being able to use a high quality 19th hole that fits easily into the flow of a golf course will provide our course maintenance team with the opportunity to undertake future irrigation upgrades, bunker refurbishment works and regular course maintenance without any undue interruption to members.
