Well it is that time of year when the question is asked why in the middle of the season we do maintenance work to the putting surfaces.

During this period, all greens will undergo scarification to a depth of 5–7mm to remove accumulated organic matter (thatch) and improve surface quality. The greens will then be thoroughly cleaned before being overseeded and top-dressed. The dressing will be brushed into the surface and the greens rolled to ensure a smooth and consistent putting surface. The program will be completed with an application of fertiliser and irrigation to encourage rapid germination and recovery.

Carrying out this work in July provides ideal growing conditions, with warmer soil temperatures and longer daylight hours helping to maximise seed establishment and turf recovery. As a result, we expect the greens to recover quickly and continue to improve throughout the remainder of the season, delivering healthier turf, enhanced surface consistency and improved year-round playing conditions.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these essential works are carried out and thank you for your continued support.

A course built across a medieval rig and furrow landscape that gives an inland course the feel, movement and strategy of links golf. One of Scotland's most distinctive golfing experiences.
