Junior Subscriptions

The 2025 subscriptions for Junior members will be issued in the 1st week of April.

Log Day
We will have a log day this Saturday 22nd February from 10am to 1pm for members only.

1 Car Boot load per member
A Car boot load is a boot with the rear seat still in upright position.
Collection point is the area near the buggy sheds.

To ensure all members have an opportunity to get firewood, we ask members to take only 1 car boot load on the day.

The volunteers on duty will not be filling the car boot for members, if you need assistance doing so, please bring somebody with you.

We will advise of future log days when are course staff are able to bring logs in from the course.

Course Update
Early overseeding has now been agreed and a date has been given when Carr will provide us with the overseeder which will be Monday 24th of February weather permitting. We hope to do this seeding with a double pass at half the rate to try and hit a bigger area of the green to aid the recovery of the scars. A light topdressing of sand will follow the seeding.

We will not be closing for overseeding as we have temporary holes cut in the approaches which will be used while this process takes place. On Tuesday 25th there may be some holes to complete and we may have some temporary greens in play on the day for the ladies but we will try our best to have the process complete before this.

Hedge cutting has started and is leaving some wheel marks that will recover quickly in the spring.

Tree contractors are onsite this week and will finish as much of the clean-up of trees as possible assisted by the course staff by early next week, with the course staff finishing the remainder of the clean up in the coming weeks.

New Arrivals
New Divot Bag stands have been placed at the 1st tee box and exit from the 18th green.

To facilitate our members that use pedal power to get to the club, a bike stand has been installed under the Snack bar for bikes to be securely locked.

Gala Dinner
We have had a great response to bookings for our Gala Dinner, 70 have booked so far with only 20 space left.

If you have not booked your place yet, contact Ciara, Rona or Des to confirm.
