Urgent, urgent, crappy news.
A source I know in the golf industry heard yesterday that Kooralbyn has closed its doors.
"Apparently there is a golf group there at the moment and a wedding on Saturday and thats it. The groundstaff have apparently already been finished up and there is no plan to try and save the place."
I am assured that it is true, however I have not confirmed with the club. Perhaps someone would like to do that today (I'm not in Brisbane ATM).
This is not the news we want to hear four months out from the Champs. Firstly, I hope deposits paid are not lost. Secondly, the hunt for a new venue begins......
--------------
Update: Course is definitely closing. Ring ASAP to try to get your deposits back.
