McLeod receives flood recovery lift

McLeod Country Golf Club has been buoyed by a $50,000 grant from Golf Queensland to help assist with the club’s flood recovery.

The Mt Ommaney based golf club was heavily affected by the January floods with all 18-holes of the championship golf course under water and severely damaged.

The clubhouse was spared, but the devastating floods caused major damage to the fairways, greens, waterways, bunkers and the watering pumps.

McLeod Country Golf Club has also recently received grants from Queensland Sport and Recreation, QRAA and Brisbane City Council.

Club president Di Paez said she was delighted by the generous support shown by the peak bodies.

“History will show how the 2011 flood decimated the course, but it will also show the commitment demonstrated by the McLeod golfing community to get the course back into tip top shape,” she said.

“We are delighted to receive this assistance which ultimately will help restore the course back to its former glory.

“We have had a number of fundraising events and received some generous donations, however we are still looking for further donations to help us get back on our feet.”
