Handicap Requirements
The maximum handicap limit is 22 for gentlemen and 36 for ladies. Handicap certificates should be presented to the Professional's Shop on arrival. The Club reserves the right to refuse access to the course to anyone who does not have a valid handicap certificate without refund.

Prior To Play
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. Players must also present their handicap certificates at this point.
Should there be any residual green fees to pay then this should be paid at the Professional's shop before play commences. 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.
