COVID-19 Update – South Chesterfield Golf Club – 1 June 2020
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Following the prime ministers announcement last week from today we can now permit up to 4 players per tee time.
We must ensure that the safety and well-being of everyone involved from golfers, to club staff and greenkeepers is maintained at all times, so we have put systems in place to ensure this.
The online booking system has now been activated and bookings can be made either online or via the club on 01246 856044.
Please see the reopening procedures below and we cannot tell you how much we are looking forward to seeing you – even from a distance!
THE KEY TO SOCIAL DISTANCING IS SIMPLY COMMON SENSE. We must all act responsibly as play resumes.
