With the recent wild weather and heavy rain the course is getting very heavy under foot. However during this time the grounds staff and committee will endeavour to ensure that the course remains open for any members or green fee players who wish to venture out. As such the committee feels it is important to reiterate the following points about the course during winter:
Course:
Unless otherwise mentioned on the website the course is open for play. There may be times where the back nine has been closed due to the extra water that this side of the course often holds however the front nine will generally be accessible for play. If this is not the case and a full course closure is in place this will be shown on the website.
Competition:
Any players wishing to enter the competition may do so at anytime. For Thursday and Saturday competitions entry will be dependant on the number of players on the course. If there are insufficient numbers players will be entered into the weekly competition. As such provided the course remains open players will always be able to have their cards entered into a competition and handicapped accordingly.
Clubhouse:
It is important to note that the clubhouse will only be open when player numbers are expected to warrant it. For Saturday competitions this will be dependant on weather conditions and the numbers in the online booking system and as such members are asked to ensure that their names only appear on the online booking sheet if they intend on playing. For times outside the Saturday competition the weather and course conditions will dictate if the clubhouse is open. However for times where the clubhouse is not open members and guest can still enter the competition by placing their completed cards and competition entry fee into the honesty box.
