Green Maintenance Notice

Please be reminded that our greens are not practice areas. Last week, two divots were taken out of the green, causing damage that affects play for all members. We ask that everyone remain vigilant and respectful of our course conditions by using designated practice areas only. Remember to repair any ball marks you may create and help us maintain the quality playing surfaces we all enjoy. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our greens in excellent condition.

Direct Debit Members

Please note the following new addition to the Payment Terms and Conditions for members (section 5F):

F. Three Rejection Policy

If a member's direct debit payment is rejected by their bank on three (3) occasions during any 12-month membership period, the member will be:

• Automatically removed from the monthly direct debit payment plan
• Required to pay their annual subscription fee in advance
• Responsible for any outstanding amounts plus applicable rejection fees

If a member refuses to pay the annual subscription fee after being removed from direct debit, their membership will be resigned in accordance with Section 5d, and they will forfeit their right to rejoin the monthly direct debit payment plan.

A $15.00 rejection fee applies for each failed direct debit. Members may apply to rejoin monthly direct debit after paying annual subscription in full for one complete year, subject to management approval.

This policy takes effect from 1st October 2025 and applies to all members.
