11th July 2022
Dear Members,
The past year has again been eventful to say the least, we continue to adapt and manage the effects of Covid-19 and in more recent times we have experienced several major flood events.
The flooding and subsequent course closures over the past six months has resulted in significant loss of revenue through the cancelation of numerous corporate events, competitions and social play but fortunately our club house and function trade remained strong during this time.
The course staff should be commended for their efforts following each of these flood events for the way they have returned the course to playable in such a timely manner.
Major capital works projects for the coming year include the reconstruction of more bunkers, more cart paths, indoor coaching facility, shade shelter on the driving range, fairway renovations, upgrade to the club house AV installation, upgrade of the gaming areas and major course equipment purchases.
The Board, after considering all aspects of the past year and the improvements to members facilities for the coming year, have decided that a small increase will be applied to the 2022/2023 fees.
Subscriptions and other charges are due on 1st August 2022 and payable by 31st August 2022, late fees may apply after this time.
PAYMENT METHODS:
- Payments can be made in full or in 9 monthly instalments via direct debit after your initial payment is made with the club. Please note direct debit payments do not automatically roll over from year to year, your initial payment must be made first. Where members choose to pay by instalments, a $30.25 administration charge will be levied.
- Payments can be made in person at club reception between 9.30am – 6.00pm Monday – Saturday.
