Flood recovery and other...

As most of you are aware we had a flood on the course less then a month ago and we have been cleaning up and getting the course right to where is was and even better in some areas.

Some areas the earth was so saturated that the water was not going anywhere and we had to move it by hand as it was to little to pump.

In less then a week of pumping 24/7 we got the course dry and in a playable condition.

 9th Fairway almost back to normal after some cultural practises

16th fairway looking reasonable good again.


We have had some fairways and rough areas get invested by crickets and have sprayed to get rid of them.



We are in a process of spraying out any foreign grasses and weed on the course so please bare with us in areas where the native grasses are growing back and it looks a bit bare.



We have been busy with a tree program cutting and shaping trees and the coastal bush so that mowers and players can move freely under and around them.

    Good post. I think this can be a helpful post specially to those who have gardens. I have experienced being flooded a few years ago and it is not easy to deal with the clean up.

    Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.
