      The Golf Club during the year will continue to use the course for corporate events, while keeping in mind all Members’ access. The Club would always avoid Members’ competition days when hosting events. Should the course be unusable on any weekday, you will be given a weekend day to play as to compensate for this club activity.
    • As a Member of the club, I am frequently asked to move away from the bar area as the club is hosting a wedding and or function on my competition days. How can the club support my concerns and give me consideration given I am a Member
      The Club is working towards the redevelopment of function space in the coming months to support these concerns. First and foremost, we want each Member to enjoy the course and the facilities as part of their support in being a member. During the year, the Club will host major events and may require some space to be allocated to these events. We will always consider these and work towards as little disruption as possible.
    • I have been a Member for many years now and have seen many improvements to the course over the years, to which I am grateful. My and other Members’ concerns are the bunkers on the course, which are continuing to deteriorate and make the course more unplayable through the years. Do the Owners and Management have a plan to rectify and improve this area of the course.
      The owners and management team are aware of this concern. This has been addressed over the years through smaller renovations, removal, or replacement of bunkers to some degree. The Design of the bunkers is not conducive to maintenance and or continual washouts during annual storms. The owners and management team are looking at a longer-term solution to the bunkers, keeping in mind the costs and time to address this concern.
