Increased pedestrian traffic on and around the Golf Course
In recent months there has been a significant increase in pedestrian traffic on and around the Golf Course from non-golfers. Long Reef Golf Club and the Long Reef Headland has been trending on a Social Media app called 'Little Red Book' which is believed to be a large reason in the recent influx of traffic.
The Board and Management a looking at options to reduce pedestrians crossing the Course including signage and marshalling.
Please remember that Long Reef Golf Club is a shared space, and if there is an imminent risk to the public or they are in the way, to go about alerting them in a respectful manner. Should you have issues, please contact the Golf Shop to assist.

2024-2025 Member Renewals
