14th, 16th and 17th Greens to be Expanded.
Work to expand three greens is expected to commence in April. Weather permitting, one green will be completed each week on Wednesday 2nd, 9th and 16th April. This will help minimize disruption to the golfers and avoid any impact on competition dates. No greens will be closed during the expansion works.
As shown in the images below, the green lines represent the existing greens, and golfers will still be able to access them while the new turf is established.
The newly laid turf will be roped off with white stakes and will be treated as GUR until it is suitable to come into play. If a ball lands in the GUR area it is deemed on the green but must be placed, no nearer the hole on the green (Nearest point of relief) with no penalty.
There will be areas at the front of the greens that will act as entrances for players to finish the hole and exit the green the same way.
The club is funding these upgrades as part of the ongoing course improvement plan.
