Annual Report 2011

Trentham Golf Club returned another excellent financial result for the year ended September 30th 2011.

Profit for the year held steady over the previous year at $35,900. While there was a healthy increase in green fees to $136,115, there were also some inevitable cost rises, particularly in the area of course maintenance.

At the club's Annual General Meeting on November 26th, members voted in favour of a very modest rise in annual adult membership fees from $370 to $385.

The club has a very sound cash position, enabling it to pay for the upcoming reconstruction of the four greens without borrowing and still be in a position to look at other significant course and clubhouse improvements over the next few years.

New greens work commences

Work on the last four greens that will complete Trentham Golf Club's long-term renovation program, on the 4th, 7th, 9th and 17th holes, has commenced. Work is expected to be complete around May.


The 13th and 15th greens were rebuilt in 2006

Reconstruction has resulted in usage of a temporary course. Temporary greens, prepared to an excellent standard, are in play on four holes. A temporary tee will also be used on the 14th hole, shortening it to a par-3. This will enable some fill to be extracted from the 14th fairway forward of the current tee.

The club apologises for any inconvenience to golfers during the works, but is excited about the improvements being made and the completion of the greens replacement program.
