Week Ending Saturday 18/10/2025

Dear Members,

Following on from our last message, we want to thank everyone once again for the enthusiasm you’ve shown — both on the course and around the clubhouse. It’s been fantastic to see such strong participation across our mid-week and weekend competitions, as well as growing support for our ladies and cadet programs.

Congratulations to all recent winners and ball recipients — your efforts keep the spirit of friendly competition alive at Macksville Country Club. A special mention also to our sponsors and volunteers who continue to give their time and resources to support these events.

Looking ahead, we’ve got plenty happening: upcoming open days, social events, and more opportunities to get involved both on and off the course. Keep an eye on the noticeboards, our Facebook page, and the next newsletter for full details.

As always, we welcome your stories, photos, and ideas — whether it’s a great shot from the fairway, a memorable round with friends, or suggestions to help improve club life.

Thank you for helping make MCC such a vibrant and welcoming community.

See you on the course,
The Golf Committee
Macksville Country Club

Thank You to Our Members

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and helped out with the green renovations this week. Your time, effort, and teamwork make a world of difference.

The course is looking fantastic, and it’s all thanks to the incredible support of our members who volunteered their time to ensure the greens are in top condition for the months ahead. Without your help, the course simply wouldn’t be the same.

It’s this spirit of community and pride in our club that makes Macksville Country Club such a special place.

Thank you once again — your efforts are truly appreciated by all.
