History
We started playing regular informal rounds at “Ruffey” in 2008, using temporary baskets and makeshift tees.
In 2012, Manningham City Council installed a permanent 6 basket course. In 2016, they added 3 more baskets, along with a second set of tees, to create an 18-hole course.
The course was re-configured and upgraded (new baskets and concrete tees) in 2023.
