COURSE NEWS
South Moor Golf Club will continue to work within the guidelines given by England Golf and the Government.
We ask all members to respect those rules also.
Tee booking will be mandatory through the BRS system 1. Book your tee time in advance through BRS App or website ONLY. Similarly in 2 or 3 or 4 balls enter ALL names to confirm your game. Can we also stress that if you book a tee time, then don’t require it, please cancel it, and allow somebody else to play. Please use the system to cancel that booking. If not, you are denying another player/visitor the opportunity of that time slot.

Other Rules :-
We expect tee usage on an evening, and weekend to be really heavy, you will be limited to booking 1 group only.
On course we will have rangers, to check membership is valid, and making sure distance rules are being adhered to.
The message we would like to get across is these rules are in place for a reason, and we HAVE to abide by them.
Anybody flouting them will be asked to immediately leave the course, and their membership reviewed.
Club is also invoking a code of conduct for members, with a discipline code as part of it. This will be posted around the clubhouse as soon as possible.
