There's plenty happening at Kemnay this Halloween weekend, both on and off the course!

⛳ ON THE COURSE

We've officially moved onto our Intermediate Winter Course from today!

🏌️ Winter tee boxes are now in play.

✅ Preferred lies are in operation on fairways.

Despite the change in season, the course is still in fantastic condition for this time of year, so there's plenty of great golf still to be enjoyed!

🏆 Winter Stableford competitions also get underway this weekend. These competitions are non-counting for handicap purposes.

🎃 AT THE NIB – HALLOWEEN WEEKEND!

Our fabulous Halloween Menu is available all weekend, with 2 courses for just £20 per person!

From Haggis of Horrors to Frankenstein's Monster Balls, there's something frightfully delicious for everyone! 👻

🍹 The team have also been busy shaking up some spooky Halloween cocktails, so why not pop in and try one?

🍽️ SUNDAY ROAST

Round off the weekend with a delicious Sunday roast at The Nib!

🥩 Roast beef or chicken, served with all the trimmings and cauliflower cheese.

🌤️⛳ THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM! 🌪️💨

A little peace and tranquillity at Kemnay Golf Club before Storm Boelo makes its arrival!

The forecast suggests we're in for a wild weekend, with very strong westerly winds expected to bring widespread gusts of 60–70mph. 🌬️

The strongest winds are expected to arrive on Saturday evening, continuing overnight and into Sunday, accompanied by heavy rain and frequent showers. 🌧️

We'll be keeping a close eye on conditions around the course and will provide updates should there be any impact on play.

For now, let's enjoy the calm while it lasts! ⛳🍂

Stay safe, everyone — and batten down the hatches! 💨

What a day to be representing Kemnay at Royal Dornoch Golf Club!

Adam and Zach Herd are taking part in GolfNines, while Ayla Johnstone and Mikhaila Rennie are playing in GolfSixes.

A huge thank you to Royal Dornoch Golf Club for hosting this special end-of-season event, giving juniors from across the North and North East the chance to play at a fantastic venue. With opportunities for girls getting into golf and juniors progressing from GolfSixes to GolfNines, it’s a wonderful way to round off the season! 🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️

Their golfing parents are insanely jealous, and we suspect a few of our members might be too. Oh, to be young again! 😄

A fantastic experience for all four, and what a stunning day for it. Enjoy every moment kids! 💚

❄️ A Little Frost This Morning at Kemnay! ⛳

With temperatures beginning to drop, our greenkeeping team have been working hard behind the scenes to keep our greens in the best possible condition.

For several years now, we've been applying a specialist dew dispersant to our greens. This product coats the grass leaf, helping to prevent moisture from settling and reducing the formation of dew and frost.

🌱 Why is this important?

Frost can cause significant damage to putting surfaces, particularly when golfers walk across frozen grass. By reducing frost formation, we can help protect the turf and, importantly, keep our main greens in play for longer.

Without this treatment, there's a good chance we would have needed to use some temporary winter greens this morning.

Of course, as winter progresses and temperatures fall further, the product becomes less effective and temporary greens will still be necessary when conditions dictate.

👏 A big thank you to Phil and the greenkeeping team for their continued efforts and forward planning.

It's another example of the work that goes on behind the scenes to give our members the best possible playing conditions throughout the year.

⛳ Kemnay Golf Club – keeping golf enjoyable, whatever the season!

Our seasonal greenkeeper, Marty Begg, bagged a hole-in-one at the 3rd today, 158 yards with a 5 iron! ⛳👏

Playing partner Dave Johnston witnessed the ace, although judging by the slightly blurry photo, Davie may have been more excited than Marty! 😛😜
Perhaps Marty was taking it all in his stride, as he already has a few holes-in-one in the bag.

Well done, Marty! 🏌️‍♂️

We’re excited to announce the development of a new dedicated Short Game Practice Area at Kemnay Golf Club. ⛳

Work is now underway on the old 18th fairway, where we’re creating three new practice greens alongside the large original 18th green.

Together, these will provide a fantastic new area for members to work on all aspects of their short game, including pitching, chipping, bunker play and those all-important touch shots around the green.

A huge thank you must go to our member Mike Mackay, who has very kindly volunteered his time, skills and expertise to help construct and shape the new short game area. His support is greatly appreciated and will play a big part in bringing the project to life.

We’ll keep everyone updated as the work progresses — we’re really looking forward to seeing this area take shape! 🌱🏌️‍♂️

🌱 PHIL’S TURF TALK ⛳

It’s been a busy couple of days for Phil and the greenkeeping team, with some important maintenance work taking place on the greens.

The greens have been scarified to a depth of 6mm in two different directions, helping to remove excess thatch and improve the health of the turf.

This was followed by Verti-Draining to a depth of 225mm, which helps relieve compaction, improves drainage and allows more air into the soil and root zone.

The plan was to complete the work with a top dressing today, but unfortunately the wet weather has put that on hold.

Hopefully conditions improve tomorrow and the team can get the top dressing applied to finish the process.

A little short-term disruption, but all important work in helping us maintain healthy, firm and consistent greens. 🌱⛳

Thanks as always to Phil and the team for their work.
