Carts on course
Unfortunately due to the high rainfall and nature of the course there are times through the winter months where the club is forced to ban the usage of ride on carts in order to protect the course. This decision is not taken lightly and is done with the condition of the course as the main priority.
The latest detail on if carts are currently allowed on the course can be found on the home page. This information will always be current and will be updated asap whenever a change is made.
Club cart usage means that only carts that have the same wide tyres and weight as club carts will be allowed on course.
If in doubt ring the club.
