We had our Rowing presentation night at Green Acres. Mark was very helpful in organising an event to suit our budget. He was great to deal with, friendly and professional. The venue was fantastic with pre dinner drinks on the deck overlooking the golf course. The food was fabulous, the staff on the night were incredibly helpful. Tatiana and Peter made sure we had everything we needed. It was a fantastic night. I would highly recommend this venue for a function. Thank you Green Acres for an amazing night

Very enjoyable. The challenging course was lush and well maintained. A lot of work done to improve drainage. Divots repaired religiously. All staff friendly and helpful. Be aware of the dress code. Of note, white socks, tailored pants or shorts with belt. No cargo shorts or denim.
