  2. Troon
    1. Spring Greens Airification will be scheduled for February 2025 to coincide with the Pokemon event
    2. Mitigating measures being taken to avoid un-puttable greens in the winter by letting the grass grow a bit higher
    3. Commencing a pilot of a Brookside "All in One" card that will identify you as a Player's Club Member, Scrip Holder, Senior. The card will also serve as a gift card. Any credit on the card whether club scrip or gift card dollars can be used for golf as well as food and beverage.
    4. A lot of discussion about fairway conditions. Brookside is in the process fo converting to a warm season Kikuyu grass. Currently there are a a mixture of grasses including cool season grasses which die out in the summer creating bare spots in the fairways. With the conversion to Kikuyu it is anticipated that grass will be present year round. This is a multi year effort. While there will be short term negative impacts such as continued bare spots and cart restrictions, the long term gain will be worth it.
    5. The restaurant is now on winter hours. Kitchen closes at 5pm. Bar closes at 5p or 6p depending on patronage.
    6. A new menu is expected on December 9 featuring more salads and soups among other changes.
    7. Holiday rates will be in effect Dec 19 - Dec 31.
