Club Etiquette & Dress Code

Conditions for Visiting Societies

The Club wishes to ensure that Societies enjoy their visit and playing our Course.

Details agreed with organisers are published to members so that they can arrange their games to fit in with visitors and it is therefore essential, such arrangements are strictly adhered to.

Bookings are normally accepted from societies whose members have recognised Club Handicaps.  Handicap Certificates may be requested.
 Confirmation of numbers ( golf/catering) are required at least 8 days before the event.
On arrival, the Organiser must report to the Secretary's Office, or Club Professional, at least 30 minutes prior to play to confirm details of numbers, starting times, payment of any fees due/collect green fee tickets. 

Strict adherence to agreed tee times is vital as members have priority outside those agreed times

Societies play from YELLOW TEES (Lady visitors from the RED TEES)
We especially request that your players are conversant with the rules and etiquette of golf.
Avoid slow play, repair all pitch marks on the greens, replace divots and rake all bunkers after any shot played from them.
Please comply with the on course notices. Keep trolleys and buggies off all tees, outside greenside bunkers and off the fringes of greens. Please keep carry bags off all tees and off the fringes of greens.
Electric trolleys and Buggies are allowed if ground conditions permit. Restrictions on buggies etc are displayed on the day and are also available on a daily recorded message on the Course Manager's telephone number, 0121 711 4143.
