Our Course: Member & Visitor Guidelines, and a temporary local rule.

Published on 26th March 2020 in Local News

In compliance with Government and Golf Australia best practice guidelines the Club has implemented the following measures to protect members, visitors and staff and help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

All members and visitors at the Club are required to comply with these measures.

  • All persons at the Club should be particularly diligent around personal hygiene and as a minimum wash hands on arrival, after golf and before leaving. Contact minimisation protocols are in place for all staff.
  • Be conscious of not being too close to people and maintain as far as practical the recommended social distancing in the clubhouse, pro shop and on the course.
  • Book social and competition golf on line. Time slots will be at ten-minute intervals.
  • The Club will operate a cashless system. Please pay for your green fees, competition entrance fees, etc using payWave as appropriate.
  • Carts are only available for use by members and only one person per cart will be permitted. Carts will be cleaned after each round.
  • Excepting carts for use by members, all players must use their own equipment including pull buggies and sand buckets.
  • Flag sticks should not be removed during play.
  • All bunker rakes have been removed but players are encouraged to smooth over their footprints and divots with their feet or club.
  • All ball washers have been removed

  • Competition cards will be pre-printed and returned to a drop off box in the Pro Shop. Players should mark and sign their own card after verbally agreeing score with playing partner while also marking their partner’s score.  Pro shop staff will enter these into the MiClub system at the end of play each day.  [Can we provide a box for marked and signed cards outside the Pro Shop?]
