🏌️♂️ Course Update – August 2026
🌤️ Weather & Rainfall
August brought just 10 mm of rainfall, bringing our year-to-date total to 701 mm.
And that's a wrap on winter! 🌱 After a cooler and wetter-than-expected winter, we're looking forward to the warmer conditions and longer days ahead. With spring now here, we're starting to see the turf wake up and growth rates increase. Bring on the growth! 🌱☀️
The warmer conditions will give the turf the opportunity to recover, strengthen and fill in areas that have been affected by the cooler months. The greens team will be keeping a close eye on moisture, nutrition and growth as we transition into spring.
🌱⛳ BIG CONGRATULATIONS AIDAN! ⛳🌱
Congratulations to Aidan Brooke on completing his Certificate III in Sports Turf Management! 🎓🌱
It’s been a pretty cool journey watching Aidan develop throughout his apprenticeship. When he first started, those early mornings weren’t exactly his favourite thing 😂☕ — but fast forward to now and he’s often the first one there, unlocking the shed, checking over the machinery and getting everything ready for the day. Safe to say, we’ve seen a fair bit of growth — not just in the turf! 😂🌱
Aidan has put in plenty of hard work, early mornings, dirty boots and long days, and it’s great to see it all paying off.
We’re just waiting on TAFE to sort the paperwork and make it official official, but the hard work is done! 🏆 We’re proud to have Aidan continuing to grow with the Windaroo Lakes Agronomy Team, and we’re looking forward to seeing what’s next for him. 🌱⛳
Well done mate — you’ve earned it! 👏🍻
From all the team at Windaroo Lakes Golf Club, congratulations Aidan! 🎉
⛳ Course Care – Members & Guests
As we head into spring and the turf starts growing again, we ask everyone to help us keep the course in the best possible condition.
Please remember to:
Repair pitch marks on greens.
Fill in divots on tees and fairways.
Rake bunkers after use and return rakes to the centre.
When “Carts on Paths” signs are in place, please keep all four wheels of your golf cart on the path at all times. This helps protect the turf and allows damaged areas to recover.
Please observe all temporary ropes, signage and course restrictions to help protect vulnerable areas.
A few seconds from each golfer can make a huge difference to the presentation and playing conditions of the course, especially as we head into the busy spring and summer growing season.
🌱 Did You Know?
As temperatures and daylight increase, turf begins to increase its growth rate. This is when the greens team can really start encouraging the turf to recover, thicken and strengthen after winter. Spring is also an important time for managing water, nutrition and growth, helping us prepare the course for the warmer months ahead.
⛳ Closing
Winter is officially behind us, and we’re looking forward to seeing the course really come alive over the next few months.
With warmer temperatures, longer days and increased turf growth, there is plenty happening around the course as we prepare for the busy spring and summer periods.
On behalf of the entire greens team, thank you for your ongoing support, patience and cooperation. Working together helps us continue to present Windaroo Lakes Golf Club in the best possible condition throughout the year.
As always, please remember to Slip, Slop, Slap and stay hydrated ☀️🌱⛳
