An unprecedented rain event
With thanks to our staff, members & volunteers, they have achieved something extraordinary, the Maroochy River Golf Club IS BACK!!!!
Course Renovations – Course closed Monday & Tuesday
Course Renovations- (to commence today after last tee of competition has gone – Golf Course closed Monday 14/02/22 & Tuesday 15/02/22). Mini Golf course will still be open.
Driving Range Tee
The renovations at the driving range tee are progressing well. The grass tee at the driving range has been heavily scarified, top dressed, and fertilised. This renovation is taking advantage of the growing conditions and will help level the surface for you to enjoy once again. The synthetic tee will be used until it recovers enough which should be in about 5 or 6 weeks.
Clubhouse Garden Beds
We have begun to tidy up some areas to plant out. Kim has done a great job in designing a garden that will complement the new extension. The garden beds will have a combination of rocks and mulch with some small plants that will not impact the view from the clubhouse. There will also be a change to the garden areas at the driving range tee to clean up around the new paths and seating areas.
WET WET WET
The course has coped a drenching in the past month, although, I think the Pro – Am luckily had the best of the conditions.
Snakes Alive
As the season when they are most active is upon us and it is a reminder that the golf courses provide a perfect habitat, here is the latest info on what to do and don’t do.
Renovation & Volunteers
The course renovations went great despite the storm that rolled through on Monday afternoon which washed out our fairway coring and rubbing in for the rest of that day. Everything is starting to thrive under the weather conditions since and we are starting to get the course back into a bit of order with regards to bunkers and weeds. The surfaces will be back to what you are used to within a few weeks.
Course Renovations Over
With another year of course renovations over, MRGC would like to thank Green staff as well as volunteers.
Around the Grounds
Green Staff had commenced monitoring the number and location of driving range balls coming to rest on the 9th fairway. During the process, Green Staff identified a large gap that is visible from the driving range tee that has no trees. This gap is also where a high percentage of golfers land their drives from the 9th tee which makes this a high risk area.
LAWN Tips from the Experts
It’s now spring and as we warm up, the grass starts to come alive again and grow. Here are a couple of things to consider.
