Playing golf in the UK or Ireland for the first time?
Playing golf in the UK or Ireland for the first time? Here are some common questions and answers that you may find helpful!
Golf buggies – on many of the older, most well-known courses , golf buggies are not allowed. At some golf clubs they will have one or two buggies for those with medical needs and a doctor’s certificate will be required. We always recommend the use of a caddie, especially if you will struggle to carry your bag yourself.
Dress code – all golf courses will require smart casual, ie no jeans, t-shirts without collar and shorter shorts. In the club houses, golf clothes are usually fine, but please check before, as it can differ from club to club. No studded shoes are allowed in club houses.
Mobile telephones – most golf clubs have a ban on mobile telephones in the club house as well as on the course.
Practice opportunities – driving ranges are unusual to find in the same area as the golf course, however, there are usually short game practice areas and putting greens available.
Weekend green fees – most golf clubs are private members clubs and therefore do not allow guests on Saturdays before lunch, several of them do not allow guests at all, and on Sundays it is difficult to get a tee time before 10am. We recommend you bear this in mind when planning your vacation.
