The work commenced Monday 19th August and as the photos display, production is in full swing.

  

9th Green & Surrounds Enhancements

The enhancement work at the 9th green and surrounds will commence the 19th August 2019.

Weather permitting, it is expected the green will be in play by early December.

The 19th hole (Oceans 19) will be used for the period of time whilst the 9th hole is out of play.

—————————————————————————————————————————————  

In May 2018, over 90% of the membership agreed through our previous survey, that the Club continue with the course green and surrounds enhancements. 
The 8th and new 19th Holes were completed and by all accounts Members are satisfied with the outcome. 
A detailed design has been presented to the Board of Directors by Golfshapes for consideration as to the enhancements at the 9th green and surrounds, we ask Members the same question below.

 

The results of the recent survey sent to members regarding the 9th green and surrounds were overwhelmingly in favour of continuing the enhancements, with the % results as follows.

Some of the comments provided were a mixture of concern, these include that there be no bunkers which might make the hole easier, also the undulations not being too big and out of character.

We have also forwarded some of the constructive comments provided by members to GolfShapes, and in particular Ben Chambers the Designer, for his consideration whilst completing the works. 

There was a request that the Club provide the results of the different survey’s over the past 3 years regarding member’ opinion of the new works and enhancements to the greens.

On the 30th October 2017 the survey was sent to members asking for member’ opinion as to the new changes at the 1st 4th and 16th greens, which proved overwhelmingly in favour of the works to date.

In summary, the vast majority of Members are in favour of all the works carried out to date.

Not every golfer is going to agree with change and or the changes that have been made; however, the Club could not be fairer than the current methods of gathering opinions through survey and comment form.

Whilst the % of members agreeing with each stage of the enhancements being so high, it gives the Board the confidence to make positive decisions on behalf of the Members.
