Message from Golf Course Superintendent Cameron Smith<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Over the past week, the Golf Course Maintenance team has been focused on general course improvements across The Pines and The Palms golf courses. Despite steady progress, the heavy rainfall earlier in the week left the courses waterlogged on Wednesday, causing some temporary setbacks. The team resumed work as conditions allowed, with particular attention to greens, bunkers, and irrigation areas to ensure the courses remain in the best condition. Looking ahead, preparations are underway for the upcoming Christmas period, including treatments to the greens and general course maintenance.<\/span><\/span>“<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n
