We are all playing our recently re-rated course and a change of tee marker colours.
Some holes have had new tees added over the past 12 months or so and, thanks to a generous grant from the Alpine Shire, we have been able to replace all of our tee signs and put new tee markers down in a new livery of black, blue and yellow to remain as gender neutral as possible and still stay visible.
