🌧️ COURSE CLOSED THIS WEEKEND 🌧️

Due to over 180mm of rain, Lakes Resort Golf Club & Clubhouse will be closed today and for the rest of the weekend.

The course is simply far too wet at the moment, and we don’t want to risk causing any further damage to the course.

We’re hoping for some sunshine and drier conditions next week and look forward to seeing everyone back out on the course! ☀️🏌️‍♂️

Thanks for your understanding and see you soon! 💙

🥶❄️ Now THAT’S a frost!

It was a chilly one at Lakes Resort this morning, with a decent frost covering the course! 🥶⛳️

A great reminder during these winter months to check our website for updates before heading out, especially for any frost delays. 🌅

And how good are these photos? 📸 A big thanks to our Greenkeeper Nat for capturing the course looking absolutely stunning early this morning.
