Course Marshall

It is widely recognised within the golfing community that slow play irritates most golfers.

At the Growling Frog the course marshall has been authorised to talk to golfers that are identified as a cause of slow play. Should any golfer or group be unable to keep up with the pace of play in the group ahead, they will be requested to stand aside and call the following group through.

Your co-operation in observing the need to maintain a good pace of play and the course marshall's directions will result in an enjoyable round of golf for everyone.

Everyday Food Specials For Golfers - $10

Frog Burger - Tender beef steak topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese and homemade tomato chutney, served in a foccaccia roll with side salad and chips.

Chicken Parma - Chicken breast crumbed and cooked to perfection, finished with ham, tomato, salsa and mozzarella cheese served with chips and salad.
