Back in November we closed nine holes of the course to re-turf all the greens and do other redevelopment work to improve those nine holes with an anticipated opening date in mid April.
The winter has been very kind to us in terms of weather conditions with the temperatures being much higher than normal. The greens have responded very well and we have already been able to hollow core and top-dress them to finalise our levels. We our currently cutting these greens at 5mm.

Wisley Golf Course is an exclusive members golf club set alongside the Royal Horticultural gardens in Surrey, The course was constructed in 1989 at which point I became the Course Manager. This purpose built Robert Trent Jones Jnr. championship course boasts three independent nine-hole courses that are all inter-usable, giving me the unique opportunity and luxury of being able to close one of the courses for works at any time if required.
