Message from our Golf Course Superintendent


Cameron Smith, Golf Course Superintendent

 

With the cooler days settling in and some great Queensland winter weather this week, conditions have been ideal for progressing key maintenance tasks across both courses. This week, the team completed a wide range of works across both golf courses, with a focus on greens conditioning, garden presentation, and seasonal aeration. The Palms golf course greens received a light top dressing and an application of potassium granular fertiliser to support turf health, while solid tine aeration was carried out on all tees at The Palms and selected tees on The Pines golf course.

We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to seeing you on the course as we continue our winter course care program.
