PARKLANDS Golf Club relies heavily not only on its tireless club volunteers but also on many generous and supportive local businesses.

Last Sunday a working bee enabled completion of three important Parklands projects.

While most of the work was completed by our volunteers, we appreciated some extra help. 

Works included the automatic watering systems on the ninth and 15th holes, with the financial help from a Southern Grampians Shire grant, along with reticulation to our new tee blocks on the seventh and eighth holes.

Lastly, there was a new storage bay for sand which was completed.

Many thanks to the community and businesses for their ongoing support of club.
