It’s been another strong week of competition at Macksville Country Club, with great fields and plenty of familiar names continuing to feature prominently on the leaderboard. Players like Lambert, Donnelly, Montague, and Austin are building consistent seasons and regularly finding themselves among the winners and ball recipients. At the same time, it’s fantastic to see a number of new names pushing into the results, highlighting the depth of competition across the club. With both seasoned performers and emerging players making their mark, the 2026 season is shaping up as one of the most competitive in recent years.

⛳ Course Improvement & Safety Proposal – Member Submission

The Golf Committee recently received a detailed submission from a member outlining a series of proposed course changes to improve player safety, course flow, and overall presentation.

The proposal highlights several key concerns, particularly around player safety on overlapping fairways, with multiple near-miss incidents identified—most notably around the current 7th hole, where several playing corridors intersect.

Key recommendations from the submission include:

Reconfiguring hole layouts and tee positions to reduce crossing play and minimise risk
Installing a warning bell on blind tee shots to improve communication between groups
Adjusting fairway grass lengths in key areas to slow ball roll into high-risk zones
Minor changes to hole structure (including some par adjustments) to improve the speed of play
Better utilisation of existing tee infrastructure to enhance presentation and reduce maintenance load

The proposal also emphasises improving first impressions for visitors, particularly around the 1st green precinct, while ensuring changes remain practical and cost-effective for the Club.

The Committee thanks the member for their thoughtful and well-considered submission, which is currently under review.

📋 Member Feedback – Have Your Say
