Breaking news....18th tee turfed!!!!


Well then. What can I say? We had a delivery of turf this week and we had a dry day after it which allowed us to get the turf laid without rain halting play.

I have felt that someone was having a bit of a laugh at our expense with regard to the 18th tee. The appalling weather of the last 2 months has continually scuppered our hopes of getting it turfed. However, it is now down and a good 4-6 weeks should get the turf rooted in nicely for the new season.


The ground frosts of late have helped counter the wet weather and enabled us to get golf out on the course. The temporary greens have been just too wet to cut so apologies for any inconvenience.

We have started work this Friday preparing the area by the 1st tee that will become a stunning memorial garden. Once complete, it will be a fitting tribute to founder members and those who are sadly no longer with us. 

Please be patient and we hope to get this finished soon.

I will keep my fingers crossed for a dry weekend of weather. If you do get chance to play, enjoy it (if that is possible!). Regardless, have a great weekend!
