Dunany Green Day / Spring Cleanup
A big thank you to all who turned up on Saturday for the Spring Course Cleanup, the first in-person volunteer gathering of the 2026 season.
Nearly 20 members turned up for duty on a gorgeous day, walking the course to clear the fairways of debris. Our volunteers’ on-course efforts received top marks from our greens crew, particularly in the aftermath of Hydro Quebec’s winter tree cutting.
Fellow member Vincent Dumais spent two days in advance of the cleanup targeting this mess, bringing all the branches and debris down off the hill and into the parking lot to leave tonnes of organic material for our Cleanup Day volunteers. While some members cleared the course, a crew of five remained behind to clear the parking lots with the invaluable assistance of Robert Percy and his big blue tractor. Thank you one and all!
Reminder: there is another Cleanup Day – the annual Green Day – scheduled for this Sunday (May 17) from 1 p.m. It is a great way to help the crew, volunteer for your club and reconnect with your fellow members after the winter hiatus. Please come out to help clean up around the Starter Shack, along Dunany Road, and around the clubhouse area and gardens. Bring a rake, work gloves and whatever else you can think you might need.
Look forward to seeing you there!
The Final Countdown
A reminder the course is open for the new season from Friday (May 15) at 8 a.m. Please book all tee times through Chronogolf. Also, please note the electric golf carts will be unavailable for the first two weeks.
The Starter Shack will open for the season on Saturday, May 16, with a weekend-only schedule of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until regular full-time hours start on Monday, June 22.

Women’s Invitational: Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future
This year’s event, hosted by Curran Lake, introduces a new format featuring a Friday afternoon shotgun start, followed by cocktails, dinner, music and more!
The tournament will be a fun team scramble featuring both low net score and performance points, keeping the focus on friendly competition, laughter, and great golf.
We hope this new approach will encourage even greater participation from across our membership and create a wonderful summer evening celebrating women’s golf and friendship.
Save the date: Friday, July 17, 2026. More details (and the sign-up sheet) coming soon!
