The golf course was attacked again on Monday night with the fourth and seventh greens extensively damaged with shovels and spray paint, sponsorship signs covered with graffiti and the toilets completely clogged with soil and sand.

The attack occurred between 6pm and 9pm.

The incidents usually happened during school holidays, according to Wentworth Golf Club president Simon Atkinson.

“It’s very frustrating, especially for the greenkeepers who put so much time and effort to keep the place green and alive at this time of year,” he said.

“It costs a lot of money.”

Wentworth is no stranger to vandalism, with attacks almost weekly during the winter of 2009.

It was also the scene of an armed robbery in October, 2011 when a pro shop employee was threatened with a knife.

The club has handed out fliers in the neighbourhood asking nearby residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to the police.

Mr Atkinson said it was too expensive for the club to establish further security measures at the golf course.

The vandals responsible for damaging the golf course are believed to be involved in extensive graffiti to homes in nearby Melaleuca Way on Monday.

“It’s a concern this wanton vandalism,” Canobolas Local Area Command Acting Inspector Peter Atkins said.

“Anyone who has information should contact local police.”

Police do not believe a wheelie bin fire that damaged a prepared cricket pitch at Riawena Oval on Monday night is related.
