To All Lake Golf Members,

Please note that we are experiencing major issues with regards to the playability and visual appearance of some of our greens at present. This is due to several factors such as the very hot, dry weather conditions and to a lesser extent irrigation supply issues.
Please note we are busy with the recommended corrective actions; the green staff are working hard to try and rectify the problems and get the greens back to our usual high standard.

We ask for your patience in this regard as we undertake the required remedial action.

Yours in Golf,
The Greens Committee

Good Afternoon Members & Visitors,

Please note that we are in the final stages of approval for the design and change of the Pro Shop and the correct set up.
Previous agreements with Pro’s are not the same as this is new agreement with Brandon and it is not him that is at fault for the delay but more on my side.
Gordon is employed by the club to ensure best service to our members as well as a better control of our assets.
Brandon is in the process of employing his own staff which will compliment both his and the Clubs business.
Driving Range, he is in the process of final agreements with regard to range balls and coaching.

I ask that you will all be patient in the new set up as we want the shop’s new look and feel to be as professional as possible, your golf bookings to be 100% and driving range to have the best facility for all to use.
Trust, you understand the status of where we are.

PS. A note with the AGM date will be sent out, as a member and for your best interest, set the day aside as it will be an extremely informative and important AGM to be part of.

Thank you, enjoy the club.

Yours in Golf,
Club Chairman

Don't let the cold weather keep you off of the course! We are offering exclusive weekday Golf Day specials this winter. Details and more exciting news in our latest newsletter!

Winter is here...Please Assist...


Good day Members, as we all have felt Jack Frost is nipping at our never regions once again. Yes, it’s cold and the majority of us have the kit to ward off the harsh winter conditions, however we need to remember our greens staff who are out every morning on the course cleaning and preparing the course and the club facilities the best they can for us the members.

We are at present, procuring normal work attire for the staff, however we have not got the funds to include some warm work jackets for all. I am therefore appealing to the members to dig deep and help us provide warm winter jackets for all our support staff to help ward off the bitter winter conditions. We have found a good supply option and are hoping to provide a uniform winter jacket to all the course staff.

As always, I’m sure our members will come to the party and help us provide this item of much needed attire for our staff. I will be doing the rounds on Saturday afternoon requesting any sort of monetary donation or alternatively you can do a transfer to the club with your membership number and the reference “WW” with your donation.

As always, we appreciate your continuous and loyal support.

Regards Wesley (Course Superintendent)

Lake Club is undertaking, in conjunction with the Centre for Biological Control (CBC) at Rhodes University to start a small-scale breeding station for biological control agents, a type of weevil which feeds and breeds on the Water Hyacinth thereby controlling its growth and spread.

Attention: Lake Members,

Due to the recent car thefts that have occurred at the club we have had to change the procedure’s for entry

We have been advised that car thefts have escalated in the last couple of months by 47%

Hitting a successful approach shot is tough enough when there’s smooth fairway surrounding the green. Add water to the mix and “tough” can easily morph into “scary”.
Put your fairway woods in play more often and enjoy the difference they make to your playing experience and score.

I would like to thank you for your help during the weekly Ladies Clinic.

The SwanTimes November Edition

Dear Members,

I cannot stress more importantly that we require the following to happen at the club for our own future.
1) Members support in all social functions when planned!
2) Pray for rain to get our course in a tip top condition.
3) More golf rounds are required. Please assist in bringing golf days to the club as this will certainly be beneficial.
4) Golf cart users must please stay away from the fairways and greens as much as possible.

After the AGM we have all settled into our new portfolios and we are expecting an exciting year ahead.

The Club has decided to “Go Green.” We have set up a recycling system for glass. There will be a designated area to drop off the glass, and we are encouraging you our members to drop off your glass when visiting the club.

Welcome to the very first edition of the SwanTimes!

Yet another month of golf has passed and we can now see how the course has been affected by the winter weather conditions. Please will those cart golfers try to stay off of the fairways as much as possible especially when there are frosty conditions. This will assist in protecting the fairways.

Dear Members,

Here within is the latest news on what is happening at the club:

As we all know and have seen, the painting of the Clubhouse roof and part of the surrounding fence was long overdue. And now, I am happy to announce that they have both finally received a fresh lick of paint.

I’m sure you will all agree that the painting has made a big difference to the overall appearance of the Clubhouse. The rest of the fence will be completed as soon as the funds become available.

Hello to all Lake Club Members, EXCO Members and Staff,

It is now three months that I have been in the hot seat and would like to share some info with you all as to what we are planning going forward.

First and foremost I congratulate Steve Schultz and all who assisted him for the past two years. Well done to all that were involved. Wesley is working hard on the golf course to get it into great shape. He is working on the 12th reshaping the bunkers and the area by the dam on the 15th. New trees have been planted around the course. Please compliment him when you see him as he is doing great work.
Join us this Friday night for an evening of fun
There is a Donkey Derby in the main hall. Tables are still available.
We have quite a bit of events lined up this September month! For one, the Ladies Clinic is restarting the 12th of September!
