Work Schedule – Monday 15th December Greens have been cored, sanded, and fertilised. I’d like to thank all the volunteers for their help. It meant staff could keep up with normal duties. The remaining fairways 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and driving range were all cored on Monday December 8th. We have started another assault […]
Course News
The pine tree located on the 14th hole in the rough to the right hand side of the Ladies tee is dead and is marked with flagging tape. The Agricultural Department observed this tree from the perimeter of the course and came on site to inspect the tree. They observed borer holes suggesting the European […]
Grounds Schedule – December 1st – 7th 2014 Greens renovations have been completed. Thankyou to the volunteers that came out to help on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, your help enabled our staff to go on with normal mowing programmes and keep the course tidy. Greens have all been fertilised and sand will be continually worked into […]
A huge thanks to our Course Volunteers that attended yesterday. Due to a large turnout we were able to split into two groups with one group helping our Grounds Team with the greens coring and sanding. The other group continued a much needed clean up around the northern end of the car park and practice fairway. Along […]
Grounds Report – November 27th 2014 Dry areas on course were cored with our pedestrian corer. All fairways except 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 have been cored. Cottesloe Golf Club was good enough to loan their tractor mounted machine. All cored areas have been fertilised and a wetting agent applied. Areas left to do […]
Following a successful Volunteer Working Day last month, we have scheduled another one in December to follow on from the scheduled coring of the greens. It would be fantastic to have more members volunteer their time for one day and give back to the course that provides so much joy! Details of the working day […]

Members may or may not be aware, but a small group of Club members have recently expressed their concern with the condition of the golf course, and in particular the greens. A petition was co-ordinated by these members to call a Special General Meeting to voice their concerns and seek responses to the Board on […]
It is always disappointing to hear of any damage to our course and clubhouse, however it is particularly shocking when the damage caused is easily preventable, and can only be due to laziness. The purpose of our Sand Buckets is to assist in course care and not, as seen in the pictures below, to provide […]
Our annual fairway renovation programme is to either verti-cut (scarify) or core the fairways in early December and this year we planned to core the fairways using external contractors as we hadn’t completed this renovation practice since 2010. The coring allows water and wetting agents direct access to the root system rather than being hindered […]
