We had record turnouts for all of our Spring events, which has been great to see. We are always looking at new events to add to the calendar to move with the ever-evolving membership demographic, so keep an eye out for some new golf experiences in the
coming season. The Clubhouse renovation that has just begun will have a slight impact on our golfing for the next few months, but we will be keeping this to a minimum as best we can.

We are still accepting volunteer registrations. If you would like to volunteer to help with the event, please see more details below.
