• Buggies and trollies available— ONLY 1 person per buggy unless form the same household, they will be sanitized after each outing.

 

COURSE CONDITION

• Although the course has been closed for almost 2 months, we have been working with reduced staff, so greens may be a little slower than you would expect at this time of year (through higher cutting heights), bunkers may be a little untidy and rough may be a little bit longer particularly in ‘out of play’ areas.  But the course is otherwise in extremely good condition following the very harsh winter.

PRACTICE FACILITIES

• Nets and putting green will remain open (no flags and the cups are inverted) but only for the next 2 ball to use. Members must hold back from visiting those areas until facilities are free.
• Practice chipping range and driving range—maximum 2 people at any one time whilst observing 2 metre social distance.

CLUBHOUSE

• Will remain shut, but the clubs Golfers Retreat Ltd catering team will sell sandwiches, bacon rolls, even takeaway meals etc., from 7.30 am through the kitchen window only—again subject to strict 2 metre social distancing.  Menu on display on arrival, pre order if possible.  Open to all members and visitors.

CAR PARKING

• Members are asked to use common sense in terms of proximity of neighbouring cars and to maintain 2 metre spacing.

 

Providing we all observe these conditions, then the greater the chance of lifting some/all of them in the short term.

ANYONE FOUND ABUSING ANY OF THE ABOVE WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE COURSE AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION

We offer all golfers a great experience on our challenging parkland course. A warm welcome awaits, whether as a visitor or potential member, we are a members club run by members for the benefit of members.
