Temporary 16th hole

With the levelling works due to get underway next week on the 16th Fairway, the committee has decided to make the temporary hole a Par 3 rather than a Par 4 as previously advised. We had some concerns around the safety of players at the 17th Tee Blocks and feel this is a safer option.

When walking to the temporary tee please keep away from any machinery and follow any instructions necessary to keep everyone safe.

If any shot is heading towards either of the tee blocks on the 17th, please shout “fore” whether you see players there or not.

While this is in play there will also be a temporary adjustment of stroke holes so please check your card for these.

Tee Time Availability

Monday 9th - Navy Event

There will reduced Tee Times available on this date due to an Annual Royal New Zealand Navy Golf Society event.
