A much anticipated stage of this year’s Course Enhancement Plan work has commenced, with the 11th tee and it surrounds getting some much needed attention. Earthworks commenced Monday morning, and already the improved views from the 11th tee are evident.
As reported earlier, this will be an extensive area of work that will greatly improve a very tired area of the course. The work will result in:
- Slight realignment of the tees to the right
- New turf surfaces
- New irrigation system providing greater control of water which will assist effective landscaping of the area
- Removal of brick building, fence and unsightly bushes at rear of tee
- Creation of screen mounding to block views of housing and accommodate landscape planting
- Creation of new path to accommodate cart access for the entire length of the tee complex
- Narrow pedestrian only access to front tee
- Landscape planting to enhance entire area
Due to the disruption of the entire tee complex for an extended period (4-6 weeks), the 11th hole is to be played as a par 3 of 126m from a temporary synthetic tee. We apologise for the inconvenience but assure members the end result will be worth the wait.
