We are delighted that as of Wednesday 13th May 2020 we will be able to reopen our golf courses for play.
We also recognise that COVID-19 is still with us and therefore some sensible and practical precautions are required to ensure all golfers can enjoy their sport in a safe and controlled environment, whilst still enjoying the mental and physical health benefits to support their wellbeing.
The guidance, that can be viewed on this link ( https://southwinchestergolf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Guide-to-Golf-During-Covid-19-WEBSITE.pdf ), has been prepared in consultation with industry bodies, government and medical guidance. For golfers, the measures cover each step of the journey from home to 1st tee and back home again and adherence at all times is a condition of play, for your safety and that of everyone else at the club.
Information and guidance is under constant review, updated as the advice from government, health authorities and the sport’s governing bodies evolves and in line with the gradual lifting of social restrictions. As is normal practice, each golf course will have local rules in play which will be communicated at the check-in point and are also detailed below.
From all of us at South Winchester GC & Crown Golf, I would like to thank you for your support, patience and understanding as we work through the many unexpected challenges the virus presented to us all. There is no doubt a way to go until we are back to normal, whatever normal will be, but for now……..thank you and go enjoy your golf!
Best wishes & Stay Safe
Roger & the Team
