New Membership Software Update
Dear Members,
The software update has been very successful and we are looking forward to you having full access to all its new features.
There has been a slight issue with the import of data, and some members have been affected by being unable to access the member section of the website and make bookings.
If you are one of those members please call us and let us know, or send me an email. Our staff are currently working through these problems but it is a manual task so please be patient.
If you are unable to book and would like to make a booking please contact the Pro Shop team and we will be able to make that booking for you.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me
Regards
Michael Moore
Director of Golf

Members Bunker Care
Members are to be aware of their responsibility of the bunker care at Rossdale Golf Club, in the last few months we acknowledge that rakes have not been in our bunkers and sometimes it slips our mind to clean up after ourselves. Ground staff and Staff are aware of the lack of attention members are giving to our bunkers, please make sure you rake and smooth over any mess in the bunkers, that either yourself and someone else has made. Ground staff present our beautiful course for you on a daily basis. It is up to you as a member to care for it during your round.
PLEASE RAKE BUNKERS!
Garden Beds
There has been some confusion of late over Garden Beds, all garden beds on the course are to be treated as GUR. This means that you may take free relief.
Course Watering and Works
This year we are very fortunate to be a position to have plenty of water. Therefore with major events for the club coming up in the Rossdale Open Amateur, Ladies Pennant and Mens Pennant, selected tee times will be closed to allow the course team time to present the course in the best possible condition. The changes to time sheets are as followed:
Monday first tee time to change to 9:00am
Wednesday tee closed from 12:30pm – 2:00pm
Friday first tee time to change to 9:00am
These changes will stay in place till the 18th of April.

Rossdale Open and Junior Amateur-
Sunday 7th March
Sunday 7th March was the Rossdale Open and Junior Amateur with over 110 players from throughout Australia.
It was a large field with some very promising golfers among the field. We had a great turn out of Rossdale Members in the field and also shooting some great scores by our own Toby Hynes, Geoff Charnley and Flynn Curry.
The score of the day and the winner of the 2021 Rossdale Mens Open Amateur was Levi Sclater shooting 72 with the Womens event being taken out by a 5 handicapper, Madeline Jukes, shooting an amazing 71 and winning both the Womens Open Event and the Junior Event.
For all the results please see below,
Congratulations to everyone involved in making the Amateur Event such a great day and the feedback of our course, hospitality and staff, was absolutely fantastic and something we should aught to be all very proud to be labelled with at Rossdale.
