Further updates on the course and membership...
We are delighted to announce that following the Government's update we have been able to re-open Little Hay! This will be for online bookings only. There will be a number of changes, so please ensure you read the following guidelines. Additional information about renewing or continuing memberships can be found below.
18 Holes
We will be open for single players and two-balls (18 holes) whilst staying 2 metres apart. When you make a booking, you are confirming that you are adhering to the Government's Guidelines. Please be aware that we will be doing spot checks on the course and anyone found to be in breach of the guidelines will be asked to leave.
Please be aware that the Clubhouse will be closed and therefore toilet facilities will not be available.
Please ensure you bring hand sanitiser.
Please observe Social Distancing at all times.
Playing Guidelines
Please ensure:
- you wear a glove, even while putting
- you use your gloved hand to pick the ball from the hole
- do not remove the pin
- you smooth over any bunkers as best you can with your feet. Rakes will not be available
- you observe 2m Social Distancing guidelines at all times, including when teeing off and putting
- do not touch stray balls
The Course
It is likely that due to reduced maintenance, plus use of the course by walkers, bikers and sun bathers (!), it will take some time for the course to return to ‘normal’ condition. Our greenkeepers will ensure that heights of cut that have been raised during the course closure period are reduced slowly so as not to put undue stress on the plant. If heights are reduced too quickly it will encourage disease and weed / pest encroachment.
Driving Range
This will be open for Contactless Payments only. Please use a glove when selecting which size bucket of balls you would like. Please select a bucket from the 'Clean' section and once finished, replace in the 'Used' section (we will be regularly cleaning the buckets and balls are always washed). Use your gloved hand to pick up the balls and again, please observe the 2m Social Distancing guidelines.
Clubhouse and Par 3 Suite
Unfortunately this is closed at the moment, but we hope to be able to open soon.
