Corryong re-opens course
Following the installation of synthetic greens and associated groundworks, the Corryong club has opened its first six holes for social play.While grass is being established around the perimeters of the greens a three-metre Ground Under Repair (GUR) zone will apply. Golfers are asked to adhere to this local rule and to take care while stepping onto and off the greens themselves.
Holes 7-9 will remain closed in the short term while the new tees are established (to be reviewed in two weeks).
Once the full course is open competition play will re-commence. A Grand Opening is scheduled for the weekend November 18th and 19th comprising a 3-person ambrose on Saturday and a dinner that night and an open 18-hole tournament on Sunday.
