Hurstville Golf Course looking tee-riffic! After the extreme weather conditions of the past 12 months, Hurstville Golf Course is now in better condition than ever, helped along by recent rains, but predominantly due to the efforts of Council's Greenkeeping staff. These improvements commenced with the recent deep coring of all 18 greens, designed to reverse the damage created from our previous very dry summer, with the ultimate objective of permanently returning the greens to a much improved condition. At the same time, fringe areas around the greens have been improved by strategically cutting the grass to a higher level, improving the available chipping area around each green. Improvements have also been made to fairways, which have been cut wider and with better definition, ensuring great lies on lush, well fertilised grass, for golfers on all fairways. The overall aesthetic appearance of the course has been greatly improved, with a great deal of effort being undertaken to clear long grass, blackberry
infestations and other noxious weeds from the course surrounds. The course is now more visually enticing for golfers making their way through the 18-hole layout. This extensive work has not gone unnoticed by the club’s members and the general public, with many commenting positively on the noticeable improvements that have recently been made to the course, and how much more they now enjoy their rounds of golf. Hurstville Golf Club is a NSW affiliated gender-neutral club that facilitates competition golf including inter-club competitions, club competitions and club championships for men and women of all ages. New members are always welcome, and membership is great value.
