Back to golf

As restrictions change across the UK and some areas fall into Tier 2, we want to reassure you that we are still open and ready to welcome you and your friends for a round. 

With wide open greens and plenty of space for social distancing, golf courses are one of the safest places to exercise and catch up with friends outdoors. 

Plus, here’s a reminder of some of the things we’re doing to keep you and our staff safe… 

↗ New layouts in the clubhouse to allow for social distancing

🖐 Hand sanitising and clean stations available 

📲 Track and trace in place 

😷 Masks to be worn inside 

💳 Card payments only to reduce the need for cash-handling

🏠 Single households or support bubbles per table when dining

We are pleased to have our golfers back on the greens safely and in accordance with social distancing measures. Please read the guidance below before visiting one of our courses.
