Was driving past Fox Hills this afternoon and saw a bit of course reconstruction being done. Looks like the 10th is either being removed or rebuilt lots of earth works happening in and around that area. Anyone know more? Which Bigger club is Fox Hills merged with to get all the money?

They are shifting the 10th green, it gets all the runoff from the road and the green has been crap for years.

That's all really, they were bought by Seven Hills Toongabbie RSL 6 or more years ago filled with promises of an 18 hole reconstruct. They cried poor with the introduction of the pokie tax and have done nothing but 4 holes, and one is played upside down. :p

The 10th is the par 3 next to the road, I think they were going to move it about 20m to the left? It used to go under in a heavy dew. The 11th was going to be reversed in direction (among other routing changes) - but when I was a member there they laid hundreds of metres of new concrete paths which made a mockery of the plans.

Played yesterday (@Bexley)with a mate that is a member of Fox Hills and he was telling me how the club has gone to the same Golf course Maintenance company as Mac Grange - Resorts Golf.

The RSL that runs the place couldn't care what happened to the course as far as quality goes, I tihnk they regard it as an asset they can sell at a later date.

I wonder if they paid the previous course designer in total for the work done?

drove past this week and saw some more work going on
a great big dirty dam

i did hear a rumour they were going to make a offer for some of the surrounding house and replace them with a townhouse "golf course living" complex
