The Palms golf course is showing excellent progress as we build toward the Australian WPGA Championship, now just five weeks away. All playing surfaces are trending in the right direction and approaching peak condition. Our focus has shifted to detailed course work to ensure final preparations are as seamless as possible ahead of the event.<\/p>\n
The Pines golf course is recovering as expected, with greens now being mowed daily to support healthy growth and presentation. Fairways, tees, and surrounds have all received fertiliser in anticipation of the forecast rain this weekend. Both golf courses are expected to respond very well to the much-needed fresh water, which we have not seen for some time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
