GM’s Message
Dear Members, Guest & Residents
In your recent visit to SouthLinks you must have noticed lots of renovation works around the club house area or at some parts of the golf course. We are already in our 17 years of operation and are in the midst of upgrade to keep our facilities in pristine condition. We have completed refurbishment of the ladies locker room and midway through our male locker room.
A lush lawn between the swimming pool and the buggy track near the green of hole #9 is now under construction. This open lawn will be well manicured and ready by December to cater for outdoor functions, eg: wedding & birthday. Hopefully if conditions permit lawn bowling may also be introduced.
The golf course maintenance team has been busy installing subsoil drainage pipes in all wet spots. The tee box at hole #15 have been enlarged and raised. The green conditions have also been consistent, between 8.4 to 8.6. In the coming month we will be uplifting the fairway bunkers of hole #1 and hole #18 to enable golfers see them from the tee box. We will also enlarge and deepen the pond at left fairway of hole #1 to improve drainage & cosmetics.
Do enjoy your golf with us, I will be looking forward to seeing more members enjoying the pool side when the lawn is ready for outdoor activities by year end.
