⛳ Course Maintenance Notice ⛳

The annual greens maintenance programme at Craigavon Golf & Ski [Silverwood] will begin on Tuesday 1 September and is expected to take 2-3 days.

During this time, golfers may be asked to skip a hole where greenkeepers are carrying out essential work, including verti-draining, scarifying, topdressing and rolling.

Thank you for your patience while we help keep the course in top condition. 👍

Orienteering Sunday at Gosford_forest! 🌳🧭

Orchard County Orienteers welcomed nearly 100 adventurers to last Sunday's event and we are hoping to see even more this Sunday as we shake up summer for a final time!

⏰ Time: Starts anytime between 2pm–4pm (courses close at 5pm)
💷 Cost: Just £3 per map
👟 What to bring: Weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable footwear

😀 Everyone is welcome – especially first timers!
No previous experience is needed. Friendly instructions will be provided, with easier courses available to help you build confidence and explore Gosford Forest Park at your own pace.

🟡 Yellow Course – Perfect for beginners & families
Ideal for younger children (primary school age) and those new to orienteering. This course stays close to paths and is a great introduction to map reading.

🟠 Orange Course – For those ready for a challenge
Suitable for improvers with some experience using a map and compass. This longer course takes you further off the beaten track.

🟢 Light Green Course – For experienced navigators
A more challenging course through the forest and away from paths, where confident map and compass skills are needed.
