Message from Golf Course Superintendent Cameron Smith
“The Golf Course Maintenance team has made excellent progress this week despite challenging weather conditions. Key tasks, such as clearing debris from the fairways and top-dressing the greens, are being completed to maintain optimal course conditions. The reshaping and changes to the mowing height of tees on The Pines golf course will enhance both the playability and visual appeal of the course. The installation of the rock wall on The Palms golf course hole 10 green is another valuable improvement, providing both structural support and aesthetic enhancement. Preparations for the upcoming WPGA event remain a priority, ensuring the course is ready to host a successful tournament.“
