Message from Golf Course Superintendent Cameron Smith

“This week, The Pines golf course has reopened following its annual renovations. While the course is still in recovery, the playing surfaces are improving each day. The rock wall on hole 10 of The Palms golf course has been completed, with new turf laid last Thursday. The area around the new turf is marked as GUR until further notice. As the Australian WPGA Championship draws nearer, additional hands will be added to focus on detailed work in the final weeks before the event, now that The Pines golf course renovations are complete.“
