The club welcomed players from north to Shell Harbour and Catalina as well as Sale and Lakes Entrance in the south to name a few as well as strong contributions from Eden, Bega and Bermagui.
Officials said there was some afternoon breezes, but play was never threatened by rain across the full four days of competition.
”It seems every year our tournament gets bigger and better,” a spokeswoman said.
“The atmosphere in the Golf Club was truly amazing - it’s like a reunion, with the participants from both the north and south of us mixing so well.”
The opening and final day of competition were both mixed events, while ladies play ran on Friday and men’s events were held on Saturday.
Officials said fantastic fields took on each of the events and carded some good scores on the course.
The opening ladies stableford was won by Victoria Balfour and Glenda Graham with 46 points.
The winning men’s pair was Queenslander Peter Hegarty and Bermagui’s David Balmain with 47 points.
On ladies day, Pambula-Merimbula featured in the gross results with Carlene Ramsay winning from Lynda Jolly.
The nett favoured Tura’s Myriam van Hock over Lynda Plummer.
Tura also featured in the silver salver with the team of van Hock, Plummer and Lorraine Arnaudon claiming the shield.
Mick Venables took out the overall men’s stroke win with 74 from runner-up Darren Warne on 75.
The nett result went to Mallacoota local Ollie Liedtke with 66.
The final day was the mixed 4BBB aggregate and the local pairing of Rae Howell and Tom Nolan took the prize with 77.
Runners-up were another Mallacoota pairing of Jayne and Bruce Gaudion with 73.
The spokeswoman said organisers were thrilled with the feedback.
“We received some wonderful comments from the visitors regarding the beautiful condition of our course … and thanks go to the ground staff, who have done a splendid job,” she said.
Officials thanked everyone who took part.
