Changes to Course Routing During Construction.
As you may have already heard, the collapsed bank on the 16th hole and its dam are being renovated at long last!
This means that when renovations start next week, both the 16th & 17th will be out of action. The works should be all completed in 4-6 weeks. They won’t be working weekends so 16 & 17 will be open on weekends. It’s only the mid week days that will be affected.
The other thing is that there will be a break in works during the 4-6 weeks. Once they pour the concrete footings there will, I suspect, be a break of at least 2 weeks, probably more, to allow the concrete to cure.
Dump trucks, etc. will be running in both directions on these holes, to load & unload filling from the dam and bank. Machinery & workers will also be in this area, so we need to give them full, safe access to the site.
The plan for 18 holes is:
Play holes 1 – 15 as per normal; then play 18; then 1 again then 4 again.
On the scorecard use the correct spaces for 1 – 15 then 18th.
On the space for the 16th write in your score for 1st (2nd time) and in the space for 17th write in your score for 4th (second time).
Scores will not be sent to golflink for any affected competition.
Please be considerate when blending the groups at the 1st and 4th holes. If more than 1 group arrive at either of these tees at the same time players playing these holes for the first part of their round have right of way.

Just a quick question.. With the playing of the 1st and 4 th holes while construction work is in place, what index do we use for playing the 1st and 4 th? Do we still use the same index as first time around?
No you don’t. You get to use the index from the 16th hole when you replay the 1st and the index on the 17th when you replay the 4th.
I will seek clarification of our course rating for the changed course from GA so that the we can still adjust handicaps.
Thanks Dave.. much appreciated..
