Course Care
At Bonnie Doon, we take great pride in the presentation and playability of our pristine course.
Maintaining these high standards relies not only on our dedicated greens team but also on the care and consideration of every player. Members and guests are reminded to repair all pitch marks on greens, replace or fill divots on fairways and tees and to rake bunkers thoroughly after use.
Consistent course care reflects respect for the game, fellow golfers, and the tireless efforts of our course staff.
Watch the videos below, where we demonstrate best practices to help keep Bonnie Doon in top condition.
Raking a Bunker
To maintain the quality of our bunkers for all players, please ensure you rake the area carefully after play, smoothing out footprints and divots, and exiting from the lowest point.

Driving Range Use
To preserve the quality of our practice facilities, we kindly ask all members to follow proper driving range etiquette. This includes using designated hitting areas, avoiding excessive wear on turf and being mindful of other members around.
