AFTER our recent rain and sunshine, the golf course is looking a picture of rolling green grass and magnificent gum trees.

Parklands Golf Club is pleased to see so many casual golfers and walkers enjoying the course.

The fairways are needing to be cut on a very regular schedule in spring, and we thank our volunteers for the wonderful job they do each week.

If you haven’t been to Parklands Golf Course lately, this is the perfect time to come and look or play a few holes.
