Any major works being planned for the Club (or recently completed)? The club has plans to open up the clubhouse facility to bring a more open-air feel to the bar and bistro area. Alfresco seating overlooking the course is part of the plan along with opening up the main entry doors, repositioning the reception counter and adding an undercover drop-off area at the entrance. What plans do you have for the future and what do you expect these plans to bring to the club? The club will be planning for the course rebuild once the Main Roads negotiations are finalised, which I am sure will appeal to golfers in the greater Brisbane area. What do you see as your biggest challenge as a club in the coming years? Completing the redevelopment with as little impact on members as possible will be the first goal. The redevelopment will be staged over approximately three years (pending weather) where it is intended to always have 18 holes in play at any one point.
