February Course Update – 6 February 2026

February Course Update – 6 February 2026

During the next few months, there will be a fair bit of activity on the course. 

Hole 17 – As part of the ongoing Course Master Plan, the green complex is to be upgraded to eliminate the wear areas from continual traffic flow and redesign the greenside bunker. This will be done in 2 stages with stage 1 being the removal of the mounding and levelling of the greenside area to drain any water towards the 2nd fairway. This will give us some 12-15m from the green edge to spread the traffic and minimise wear.  This work will commence very soon and is planned to be completed within 2 weeks. During this initial stage the hole will remain in play.

Stage 2 will be undertaken following the Reticulation project in the second half of the year. This will be to redesign the greenside bunker complex & surrounds. The existing bunker will be filled in and a smaller bunker installed closer to the green. The green itself will relayed & made slightly bigger to meet this new bunker. The mounding around the bunker will be redesigned to allow better traffic access and reduce the severity of the slope. All this will marry into the stage 1 work. While doing this, the path  will be removed and a new one constructed connecting the newly levelled area to the back of the 18th tee.

Green Renovations – The course will be closed for renovations from 23rd-25th Feb where the greens will be cored as per the normal yearly program. This will be a medium coring and sanding and essential for salt control and general health of the grass.  

8th Tee – Directly after renovations, the 8th tee complex will be redone. The tee will be widened to the RHS and the whole teeing area from black to red tees will be relayed to one level allowing for easier upkeep and giving a greater area for tee placements and spread of wear.

Reticulation Project– this project is our major one for the year and is planned to commence in April. During this time there will be some disruption to mid-week competitions, and this will be managed by Todd and the golf shop staff to minimise any disruption to play. The whole project is expected to take 14-16 weeks but considering the size of the task and the benefits from it, will be worth the wait.

Presidents Update – Wednesday 4 February 2026

Presidents Update – Wednesday 4 February 2026

Dear Members,

Welcome to another exciting year at Mandurah Country Club.

You have recently received a letter from our General Manager, Grant, outlining a range of operational updates aimed at enhancing member golf programs and services. Building on this, the Board has now developed its strategic framework and priorities for the next 12 months.

This framework has been formed by our recent Strategic Planning process.

Governance
Governance remains a core focus, as it underpins the success of all clubs. This year, the Governance Sub-Committee will undertake a review of the Club’s By-Laws, with the intention of refining them to provide clear oversight of the Club’s rules. To support this, a comprehensive Policy framework will be introduced to better guide and clarify the day-to-day operations of the Club and members.

Golf
We are pleased to welcome Dean Stewart to the position of Director of Golf. Dean will focus on introducing clear golf policies and frameworks to better support the Match Committees and ensure the divisions are well-supported and continue to enhance the overall member golf experience.

In addition, the Club has recently completed a five-year Business Plan framework, which has placed us in a strong position. It is now timely to review this model, with an initial focus on considering fewer rounds, improved experiences, with continued financial sustainability.

Facilities
Course
A major priority is the upcoming irrigation installation, which will be overseen by Course Committee. In addition, two Master Plan projects are planned for the 8th tee box and the 17th green complex. Further updates will be provided as these projects progress.

Clubhouse and Car Park
The car park is the next major infrastructure project for the Club. Survey and civil investigations have been completed, and concept Master Plan drawings have been commissioned. These designs will concept Master Plan the potential uses of the land, but then ensure the car park can proceed as soon as practicable, while still preserving flexibility for any future land development decisions by members. Further updates are expected in the first half of the year, with this project remaining a priority.

Finance
Finance will play a strong oversight role across business planning, capital modelling, and the sound governance of the Club’s finances. In addition, the Club will commence a significant project to replace its current membership and financial software systems, modernising away from outdated platforms. These will streamline processes to our operations but also improved services to members.

Membership
The Membership Sub-Committee will undertake surveys and reviews focusing on member attrition and retention, new member integration, a review of membership categories and entrance fees, and a comprehensive review of the Club’s Code of Conducts.

As you can see, this represents a substantial agenda for the year ahead, and I thank the Board not only for its commitment to our members, but for its continuing drive for strong governance, rigorous oversight, and the protection of the Club’s best interests at all times. I believe this agenda strikes an appropriate balance between delivering immediate value to members while positioning the Club for sustained, long-term success.

Regards
Ron Stone
President
