General
Thank you to all Members who provided feedback to the Board for The Palms Enhancement Plan and Strategic Plan. Crafter and Mogford Golf Strategies are currently finalising the document with the Board aiming to adopt it as a final document soon. The Board is meeting in June to discuss and finalise the Strategic Plan following receipt of the feedback received by email and Member forum.
There are a number of projects that will be taking place over the next few weeks that the Board approved including:
Golf Course Furniture – the install of the new golf course furniture will also commence in June. We will start on the practice holes, work through The Pines and then finish on The Palms.
At the completion of the install, The Palms golf course hole numbering will be changing with hole 9 becoming hole 1. More information on this will be included in the Weekly Update so please read carefully for further information.

It is with deepest regret that Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club advises the passing of former Member Mr Earl Jones who passed away on 31 May 2023 at age 83. Earl was a Member of the Club for 11 years until December 2017.
Our most heartfelt sympathies go out to his family and friends.
As Members would be aware, the cost of fresh produce has been increasing significantly of late, combined with rising delivery costs. While the Club has made all efforts to absorb the upsurge in costs over the last few years, some existing prices are no longer sustainable.
As a result, the price of Sunday Night Roast will increase to $40 per person from Sunday 2 July 2023.
The Club appreciates your understanding, loyalty and support in light of these changes.
This week, three Members have recorded holes in one on The Pines golf course, an amazing feat. Congratulations to the following Members:

In line with the Club’s Strategic Plan recently shared with Members, the installation of a solar power system on the Clubhouse has been revisited and approved by the Board, with works to commence as early as 19 June 2023. Click here to view full details.
On Monday 5 June 2023, works will commence to add six further cart parking spaces to the existing site at the Clubhouse entrance. Works are scheduled to take two days, during which time we kindly ask Members to park outside of the golf shop.
The cart park at the Clubhouse entrance will be blocked off, however the disability parking spaces will remain available for use.
We appreciate your understanding during these works.
Members’ guest rounds are available at the following rates:
The Club also offers pre-purchased Members’ guest rounds in a voucher form at a reduced rate per round.

All guests are required to sign in at the golf shop under the Members’ name.

At the end of each competition, a playing conditions calculation (PCC) is applied which calculates how difficult the golf course played on the day, relative to all competitors. This PCC is incorporated in handicap adjustments following competition play, and it is completed automatically by GolfLink; the Club has no impact on the outcome.
Click here for more information from Golf Australia on the PCC.
