Construction Stage 1 – Week 15 Update

Construction Stage 1 – Week 15 Update

Easter week brought 25mm of rain, with more expected over the weekend. With a shortened 3-day work week, the Course Team focused on course cutting and preparation.

On Monday, attention will turn to bunker maintenance – this will include trimming edges, spraying and removing weeds, leveling surfaces and adding sand. Over the coming weeks, 20 tonnes of bunker sand will be distributed throughout the course. Turf patching and topdressing are also high priorities for the team moving forward.

Construction Update
A well-timed 25mm of rain after laying 1500m² of turf around the 18th green proved beneficial this week. The 10th championship tee has been completed. Final touches are being made to the putting green in preparation for seeding next week. The 17th fairway bunker is yet to be constructed and is scheduled for completion in the coming weeks. Concreting of the thoroughfare between the putting green and clubhouse is expected to begin late next week. The southern end of the car park, previously used for storage, will be cleared and fully reopened next week.

This Week’s Work Summary

9th & 17th greens: Both continue to establish well. Height of cut was reduced to 5mm this week.

16a, 9, and 17: Will receive a light topdress in the coming weeks as part of ongoing establishment.

18th green: 1500m² of kikuyu turf laid around the green and surrounds. Green to be seeded Monday. Fox-proofing barrier to be erected prior to seeding.

Putting green: USGA sand added. Irrigation installed. Amendments applied. Continued work on the retaining wall and path edging.

Week Ahead

18th green: Seeding and completion of turf installation on surrounds and 10th tee.

Putting green: Final trim in preparation for seeding. Continued work on retaining walls and pathway. Green seeding scheduled for next Friday.

Day 1

Welcome to Western Australia!

We will meet at Perth Airport to commence what will be a memorable week of golf coupled with some fantastic fare and vino. Our first stop is Fraser Suites Perth. We’ll enjoy ourselves with a “Welcome Dinner” at one of the local eateries before bedding down for the night.

Day 2

After an enjoyable breakfast we will head over to Lake Karrinyup. Lake Karrinyup Country Club is widely acknowledged as Western Australia’s premier golf club and is now home to the ISPS Handa World Super 6. Just 13km north of Perth’s CBD, Lake Karrinyup is a tranquil botanical haven for wildlife including native birds and kangaroos. The championship course is a par-72 layout that winds its way through undulating ground, native gum-trees, and indigenous vegetation. Golf will be followed by drinks, trophy presentation before we head into town to enjoy a “Fine Dining” experience.

Day 3

After a breakfast we will head over to The Western Australian Golf Club. The traditional Tudor Clubhouse overlooks superb fairways, greens and a picturesque lake, and also boasts views to the city and Darling Ranges, notably the 12th tee box is the highest view point within the metropolitan area. Renovations to the Clubhouse have been carried out over the years, with the last major renovation completed in 2016. The results of the renovation see the Tudor style Clubhouse maintain its charm and character for the enjoyment of all members and visitors alike. We will play a match against the locals that will be followed by dinner and a presentation.

Day 4

Following breakfast we check out of Fraser Suites Perth and head to Araluen Golf Resort. This is arguably the most picturesque and challenging golf venue in Western Australia, with 18 stunning golf holes and panoramic views throughout the Midgegooroo National Park, and across to the Perth Coastal Plain. Combined with its lodge like Clubhouse overlooking the lakes and valleys of the 9th and 18th holes, the Araluen Experience is one to savour. Following golf we will enjoy a quick presentation before checking in at The Sebel Mandurah. This urban hotel is located approximately half a mile from the center of Mandurah. Once we have checked in we will enjoy dinner at a local eatery.


Day 5

Following breakfast we head to The Cut Golf Club. The Cut Golf Course was voted Western Australia’s number one golf course in 2008/09, ranked in the country’s top 20 public access courses and in the top 25 overall courses in Australia, The Cut is a must play golf course for all golf enthusiasts visiting Perth and the Mandurah area. We will enjoy a presentation and drinks at the Club before finding a local establishment for dinner.

Day 6

Breakfast at your leisure before we jump on the bus and head over to play Meadow Springs Golf Club. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, the course presents a highly regarded test for players of all levels, but is also renowned for its playability. The course winds its way through undulating terrain, the layout dictated by the natural features of the land. Towering 200-year-old Tuart trees line generous fairways and subtly rolling greens that are equal to the best in Australia. A quick drink and presentation before we head out for dinner.

Day 7

Following breakfast we will check out of The Sebel Mandurah and head to the airport.

DEVLIN’S CREEK CHALLENGE

DEVLIN’S CREEK CHALLENGE

Playing over the last three ladies’ competition days, we had a field of 22 pairs battle it out for the 2025 Devlins’ Creek Challenge trophy.  The format involved playing Foursomes, 4BBB Stableford and Individual Stableford.

In 2024, the rain affected this competition with only 2 days being played.  This year all three rounds were completed, BUT, the final round was played on the morning of the Masters final day…..That didn’t stop the competition, though many phone calls and text messages were going backwards and forwards to confirm Rory had finally “lost the monkey off his back”.

It was a very close finish with the winners only winning by 0.5 points.

Albatross

Albatross

A Rare Bird Lands at the 7th Hole

History was made on Sunday at PHGC when Ashley Chung became the first woman at the club to score an albatross!

Ashley launched a perfect drive past the trees on the right, then followed it up with a massive 3-wood. While her playing partners, Debbie and Susie, found their balls short of the green, Ashley’s ball was nowhere to be seen.

With a hunch and a smile, she strolled up to the hole to “check”—and there it was, sitting at the bottom of the cup!

To put it in perspective, the odds of an amateur golfer scoring an albatross are about 6 million to 1.

Congratulations, Ash! What an unforgettable shot!
