Latest News
We can only hope that the weather starts to become more consistent over the coming weeks as May promises to be a busy month for the Dreamland Golf Club team. It’s rewarding to see the course is improving daily, we would like to thank all our players for their patience through the renovation period – the results that we are expecting will be worth the wait. Martin has been busy marking new walk ways in the outer rough which will make walking the golf course a much easier and enjoyable experience. As the pictures shows below the cut height of 26mm (first cut rough height) defines the walkway that links the tee boxes to the starting point of the fairway on the majority of Par 4’s & 5’s. Golfers will find it much easier to push or pull their trolley instead of battling the longer grass as we had before. 
Golf Etiquette
Having removed around 2 million cores in the recent renovations, the greens are softer and more susceptible to damage and wear. To ensure a fast healthy recovery we ask that ALL members, guests and visitors Repair Pitch Marks prior to taking their first putt. A few seconds of searching for the landing spot is worth the effort to keep the best possible surfaces for all to enjoy. 
Technology Update
The team continue to work with all golf app and GPS Providers for the course change over. GolfLan based in Singapore are still processing our GPS cart screens updates, despite some early challenges the team have started to make progress in changing the zones on course to provide the correct distances and graphics for the course new layout. Hugh Bishop of GolfLan commented, “Every effort is being made by the development team to complete the course amends for Dreamland Golf Club over the coming days, we look forward to providing golfers with the updated course information very soon”. Arccos, Gamebook, Golfshot, Golfpad, Hole 19, Shotscope, iGolf, VPar, Swing by Swing, Mobitee, Golfbuddy, Motocaddy, iCaddy and TheGrint have completed their works with download / refresh now available. If you are experiencing problems with your provider we suggest you refresh the download or accept any software upgrades they offer – feel free to contact Parviz.Muradov@dreamlandgolfclub.com
