The club has received $236,058 through the NSW Government's Infrastructure Grants program.
Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the funding would be used to construct concrete pathways on the front nine holes on the course, meaning players could still use carts and buggies through extreme drought or wet weather.

"The issue the club currently faces is that any time its wet or very dry, golf carts cause significant damage to the course. Tyres sink into the ground when it's wet and dust kicks up when it's very dry," he said.
"This funding will be used to construct 1908m of new concrete path meaning that carts can be used regardless of the weather or condition of the course."
The Infrastructure Grants program is made possible by Clubgrants Category 3, a fund which re-invests profits from registered clubs' gaming machines into community projects.
Since 2015, the NSW Government has funded more than 520 community projects worth more than $81 million through the program.
