Winter play

This is just a polite reminder that as we enter the wettest time of year for ground conditions, please be mindful of your walking routes, stick to paths where possible, and take care around steep grass banks.

Ropes, white discs, and signage have been implemented around most holes. We respectfully ask that all buggies, trollies, and bags be kept behind these marked areas.

Buggy use will be assessed daily on weather, ground conditions and damage done by recent use and notifications will be sent via the Club V1 App or by contacting the pro shop.

Lastly, we ask for a bit of self-policing. Think about your walking routes, avoid wet, shady spots, and try to spread compaction in pinch points. Trolley and buggy users, please stick to paths where possible and park away from greens. Those who can carry bags are much appreciated, but please still avoid obvious worn areas or carrying heavy bags directly over greens.

Preferred lies

From 1st October - In line with England Golf, Preferred lies will resume - You may now "pick and place" six inches on either side of where the ball lands but not nearer the hole. Please mark the ball before lifting and this applies only to closely-mown areas. A 1-shot penalty will be incurred if the ball has not been marked.

Advance notice on ongoing and upcoming projects 

For further updates and information, please call the pro shop direct on 01726 814228.
