Online Tee Time Booking

The online tee time booking feature is now available for both members and visitors to book and pay for tee times, we encourage all members to start booking tee times using this feature by visiting

Initially you will need to sign up and create an account using the same email that is registered with the club.

This online booking function will allow you to book a tee time for up to 4 people.

If one member wants to book a flight of 4 members, he/she will need to know the registered email addresses of each of the members in the flight to make the booking.

Make sure to customize your booking by adding a caddie and buggy in the “Extras” section before clicking confirm.

Once the booking is confirmed you will receive a booking confirmation email, and as usual, caddie fees and buggy fees will need to be settled in the Pro shop upon arrival.

The payment feature is now available, allowing you to book and pay immediately for a smoother one-stop booking process.

 

Please note at this time, members who wish to book a specific caddie will still need to do so through the Pro shop.

Course Maintenance

October
21 – 22 : Greens light top dress

November
4 – 5 : Greens light top dress
18 – 19 : Greens light top dress

Over the last three months we have grassed down the faces and added new drainage and sand in a total of 10 selected bunkers on the first 11 holes, this concludes our bunker grassing program for 2024, a further 10 bunker faces will be completed in 2025.
This grassing of bunker faces not only allows for better playability after heavy rains but also allows the maintenance team to prepare the course much faster.

Completed grassed bunker faces on Holes 5,7 & 9 above.
Lake bank clearing will continue until the end of October at holes 2, 3 & 4 after recently completing the lake banks of the lagoon at holes 16, behind hole 1 & hole 2.

After the most rain fall in over 5 years, some of the front 9 fairways especially on holes 5,6,7 & 9 are still very wet. We have roped off sections of fairways on fairways of holes 5 & 6 fairways to aid in the recovery of these damp areas.

Facility Upgrades

Over the coming months we will continue with our upgrading program with the restoration of on course bridges in October and November and the repair of damaged cart paths, Kiosk rennovations will now be rescheduled to June 2025.
