A new bunker has been installed on the 17th and the mound before the 17th green has been removed. Tee improvements are also ongoing at the 18th and 3rd tees which are resulting in golfers playing off temporary tees.

The Captain Donal Callaghan and greens staff would like to thank both members and visitors for their co-operation during essential maintenance work.
