The safety and wellbeing of our members and staff is our number one priority, I’m sure you can all appreciate that these are difficult times for everyone, but we must always put the safety of our members and staff at the forefront of any decisions made on the operation of the golf club. We are not the only club in this situation having sought advice from neighboring clubs and affiliations to ensure our guidelines are consistent.
We have produced the following guidelines to ensure you can continue to play golf but in the safest manner possible, the guidelines take into consideration the recent 'Play Safe, Stay Safe' guidelines published by England Golf and Everyone Active.
