GOLF games at the Walgett Sporting Club have been put on indefinite hold after ongoing damages to the course caused by motor bikes became too much for staff to bear.

Club manager Natalie Thurston said the bikes - often ridden by young people - have been regular unwelcome visitors to the course for a number of years.

"They'll be there at least a couple of times a week, sometimes more - when the rivers rise, it cuts off the golf course and gets really boggy so my guess is they have more fun when it's been rained on and flooded," Mrs Thurston said.

"It's just really sad to see it that way. We know how much work our groundsman (Leon Purse) puts in watering, mowing and keeping the weeds down."

According to Mrs Thurston, keeping the course in good condition has already been an ongoing battle for the club and Mr Purse, first during several years of drought and then during ongoing flooding during the past 12 months.

However, for her, with this ground being prevented from fully recovering due to heavy tyres being driven over it, it has always been "one step forward, three steps back".

"Even if we manage to grow grass again over the ruts, you wouldn't be able to hit a ball out of it," she said.

Because the course is spread over both sides of the Walgett levee, Mrs Thurston said the course is unable to be enclosed from the general public.

Attempts to dissuade the riders, from signs, to appeals on social media, to reporting incidents to local police, have also had little impact on reducing the damage.

A spokesperson from NSW Police said officers from Walgett Police Station continue to work with the community to address the ongoing concern of the illegal use of trail bikes being used in the Walgett township.

Police will continue to proactively patrol all areas within the town to prevent and detect unlawful use of the trail bikes, whilst also providing education around the importance of motorcycle safety in riding with the appropriate safety equipment," the spokesperson said.

"Walgett police encourage the community to report illegal use of motorcycles in their area. You can do this by providing descriptions of the motorcycle and the rider, including what they are wearing."

Finally, at their wits end, the ongoing cycle of "wilfully disturbing" the damaged course has finally motivated the club to announce the course will be closed indefinitely effective yesterday (Wednesday 30 March).

While she acknowledged there were not a lot of golf competitions run out of the sporting club, Mrs Thurston said the town would likely be sad to see it go.

"A lot of people would just go there in the afternoon to hit a golf ball around as a casual thing with friends - I think it's used more often than people think," she said."

"It will be closed until we find a solution which we just don't know at this point. We are looking at putting in some new fencing and gates so it won't cater for motorised vehicles at all, but we know that would hurt some of our older users."
