With Winter Behind Us We Can Only Move Forward

With the wettest winter in 12 years it is hard to keep a course with a very heavy clay base "DRY". Its is alot different to these Sandbelt courses that dry quickly. Water has been a big issue for the past 10 years on golf courses with the drought, you soon forget what its like to get a very wet winter. With an extra 200mm of rain in the first 6 months of 2010 than 2009 we knew it was going to get wet. The ground staff did everything in there power to create a good playing surface for the everyday golfer, but at the end of the day you can't beat mother nature, you just have to work with her. Currently to date we have already past our 2009 rainfall total. 2010 rainfall currently reads 682mm of rain fallen on the course.

With the winter behind us what better way to spend your time than to dust off those sticks and get out there.

 Midweek currently $45 easy to get on. Weekends $50 but filling up fast. Ring the

Proshop for bookings 97533200 all other course work will be updated shortly.



Greens Renovations

The Greens Renovations this year at Waterford Valley were undertaken on August 21st. This is pretty early in the season but with the rainfall this winter and the course being quite wet we decided to get in early and get them done so by Spring the course play will be back to normal and the greens would have already been cored with no disruptions. The greens were hollow cored at 12mm to reduce the thatch layer in the sand profile and also help with the water infultration. The rootzone is getting deeper which will help when the hot weather starts. Soil tests were taken and the appriorate ammendments were added into the sand eg. Calcuim,Magniseum and organics. 8 weeks on, the greens have responded well to the early renovations and  are back rolling true and a nice speed of 9.5 on the stimpmeter.

Other renovations to take place are scarifying of the Tees and Green Surrounds to take place in Spring-Summer this will cause no disruptions to the everyday golfer.
