Covid19 - Information for members

 

Now that the Golf course is open and in order that we are able to "Play Safe – Stay Safe", as advised by England Golf, Stocksfield Golf Club have put into practice the following policies and procedures, please note these will be revised as guidance changes:-

  • ALL tee reservations MUST be made via the BRS tee booking system and All rounds of golf MUST commence from the 1st tee.
  • Members may only book 1 tee time per day.

  • The Practice areas may be used but must be booked through Nicky Maddison (Golf Professional) to whom you should report before and after each session. Only 1 person allowed at a time on the area and with a time limit of 45 minutes for practising if others are waiting. Practice must be done from the grass area and NOT from the hut. Priority is given to the Golf Professional whilst he provides individual coaching. The practice area is NOT accessible outside of Nicky’s working hours.

  • The practice putting green by the 1st tee can be used but all players are asked to observe the “social distancing” rules.
  • Players are asked to turn up no more than 10 minutes before commencing game and to leave immediately after game.
  • Hand sanitisers are available for use near the first tee prior to the round of golf and at the main entrance at the end of the round.
  • On the course all rakes have been removed, ball washers have been taken out of commission and flag sticks must not be touched. A system is in place whereby the ball will not drop to the bottom of the hole and can be safely removed with 2 fingers.
  • All distance markers and markers indicating areas on the course such as penalty areas must not be touched and to be treated as immovable obstructions and ball dropped in accordance with rules of golf.
  • Golf buggies hired from the Golf Club will be disinfected prior to and after use. Only one person allowed in the buggy unless members of the same household.
