Update on Chipping Area

Update on Chipping Area

Work has been completed on the extension of our chipping area, the green has been doubled in size to accommodate more play and access for our members.

The green has been planted with 328 stolen and should be back in play in 6/8 weeks depending on growth.

As you can see we have installed a new bunker without the usual sand face, this will ensure that the bunker will be easier  to maintain by the green staff. The sand face style bunkers are difficult to maintain during heavy rain events with the sand washing from the face contaminating the bunker with silt, but the grass face will still provide a challenging chip to different parts of the green which we never had before.

With the upgrade to the driving range later in the year, this will provide our members with a incredible practice facility once completed.
