Due to the lessening of restrictions in regard to Coronavirus. We are now proceeding to Phase 3. In Phase 3 four balls are permitted at 10 minute intervals. Competitions are allowed. Visitors can play.

Ladies and men’s competitions will resume on Thursdays and Sundays with competition slots available on Saturdays. Upcoming competitions will be posted on the website. There are new protocols which have to be observed in relation to holding competitions. Please read these carefully.
For all competitions, the following local rules will apply
Flagsticks must remain in the hole, with the ball retrieving device attached.(Note, a ball must be partially or wholly beneath the surface of the green to be deemed holed. A ball rebounding off the flagstick, back on to the green, is not holed.)
Bunkers: In a bunker, player may place the ball within 6 inches of where the ball lies, not nearer the hole. Players must smooth the sand with club or foot after taking shot. This “preferred lie” rule is acceptable for handicap purposes.
