Whilst no handicap is required, the course is a championship course and can be very challenging for the beginner golfer. The Club reserves the right to refuse access to the course to anyone who does not have a proficient level of golf.

• All players must check in at the Professional’s Shop at least 15 minutes before their start time to confirm the number of their group and the format that they are playing.
• The Club cannot guarantee a tee time for any golfers exceeding the number of players already booked.
• Visitors are requested to change in the clubhouse changing rooms and not in the car park.

We expect players to wear smart golf clothing and golf shoes. Trousers and shorts must be tailored; denim is not permitted. As is a tradition of the Club, men wearing shorts must also wear knee-length socks, (which are available for sale in the Professional’s Shop).

Play will be from the Club Tees unless prior permission has been sought to play from alternative tees. This is to help ensure good pace of play for the enjoyment of all golfers.

• Please avoid slow play.
• The normal courtesies of golf should be observed and the rules of etiquette should be followed at all times.
• For visitors guidance a round of golf should take a maximum of 3 1/2 hours for two-balls, and 4 hours for four-balls.
• If your group is holding up play, please stand aside and let the group behind play through.
• Persistently slow players may be asked to leave the course.

The bar is open for service at 8.00am and closes at 8.00pm in the Summer, or 6.00pm in the Winter. We are happy to extend these hours but only by prior arrangement.

Except for formal occasions (see below), the dress code throughout the clubhouse is smart casual. The standards which apply on the course, also apply in the clubhouse, but the wearing of knee-length socks is not a requirement. We do require that:

• Players change out of waterproofs, wet or muddy clothing and footwear
• Headwear (other than that worn for religious reasons) and metal-spiked golf shoes are not worn outside the changing rooms

The dress code for formal functions and events (including lunches, dinners and other social occasions) will be specified by the event organiser, in consultation with the Secretary & Club Manager, and will be in keeping with the history and tradition of the event. It will be communicated to those attending in advance.

• Mobile phones may be taken onto the course and used in case of emergency only.
• Mobile phones may only be used in the Clubhouse for silent browsing.
• Mobile phones may not be used to make phone calls.
• Phones must remain on silent at all times.

Smoking is not permitted within the Clubhouse, Halfway Hut, or any other confined space.
