Due to the heavy rains this week, we have postponed our spring renovations by one week to allow the course time to dry out.
We are now seeking volunteers to assist with coring the greens on Monday, 1 September 2025. This essential maintenance keeps our course in top condition, and your support makes a big difference!
Session Times
Session 1: 6:30am – 9:00am (6 volunteers needed)
Session 2: 9:00am – 11:30am (6 volunteers needed)
No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to lend a hand. Volunteers will help by shovelling corings from the greens into utility trucks, which will then be taken to designated areas of the course.
As a thank you, refreshments will be provided for all helpers.
If you’re able to assist, please email captain@woollahragolfclub.com
Thank you for supporting the upkeep of our course—we couldn’t do it without you!

Closing the golf course is never a decision we take lightly. However, during periods of heavy or prolonged rain it is necessary to protect the playing surfaces and ensure the course remains in good condition for members and guests.
To keep everyone informed, here’s the process Woollahra follows when wet weather impacts play:
Overnight rain: If significant rain falls, the Course Superintendent will inspect the course early the next morning.
Morning update: Between 5.45am and 6.00am, the Superintendent will update the website with the course status.
If unplayable:
The Professional Shop will close the time sheet and remove all member and guest bookings.
A cancellation email will be sent confirming the closure.
Ongoing closures: If rain continues, the website will be updated daily to show the course remains closed.
Re-opening: After rain has cleared, the course will stay closed until it is safe and dry enough to reopen. A decision will be communicated via the website between 5.45am
At the recent Match Committee meeting, it was agreed that Sunday competitions will now be played as a Mixed Medley. This means men and women will compete in the same event, with prizes allocated accordingly.
The Nearest the Pin competition will continue on hole 9/18, open to both men and women. In addition, the popular “Eagles Nest” will also be in play:
To win the Eagles Nest, your tee shot must finish within 30cm of the pin.
If it is not won on the day, the prize jackpot increases by two golf balls each competition until claimed.
We look forward to seeing plenty of friendly competition (and hopefully a few close shots at the pin!) in the weeks ahead.
