Our Golf courses can re-open from next Wednesday 2nd December, MEMBERS ONLY on the Norwood Course for the first few days

• 9 Holes only on the Norwood Course, starting from the 1st or 10th tee; book online for either tee from Wed 25th Nov at 7.30pm.
• Once you have completed your 9 holes, if you would like to continue (although, due to the expected demand, it is unlikely this will be possible), you must check with pro’s shop after you have finished your 9 Holes
• Each member will only be allowed to book a maximum of 2 tee times within the 3 days.
• Non-members will not be allowed to play without a member on the Norwood course.
• From Saturday 5th December, the Norwood course will revert to 18 holes.
• West Wood Par 3 Course available as usual, bookings only, book online from Wed 25th Nov at 7.30pm.

• Up to 4 players per tee time will be allowed from re-opening.
• Everyone must continue to check-in to the Pro Shop before play, wearing a face covering. Please allow extra time as we envisage the staff in the shop to be very busy.
• The driving range, individual lessons & custom fitting will also be available. We are still awaiting our tier banding from the Government which will affect the clubhouse facilities.

Please book online rather than by phone whenever possible

Covid Restrictions are still in place throughout

As the whole of the county including NPGC is going to be in Tier 3 from Fri 30th, the good news is that the playing of golf outdoors (including the driving range) may continue in its current format, but please note the following:

1. People must not socialise with anybody they do not live with, or have formed a support bubble with, in any indoor setting or in any private garden or at most outdoor hospitality venues and ticketed events.

2. People must not socialise in a group of more than 6 in an outdoor public space, including sports venues.

3. Pubs and bars must close. They can only remain open where they operate as if they were a restaurant, which means serving substantial meals, like a main lunchtime or evening meal. They may only serve alcohol as part of such a meal.

4. Golfers should try to avoid travelling outside the very-high alert level area you are in or entering a very-high alert level area, other than to travel through the area on a longer journey.

5. Golfers should avoid staying overnight in another part of the UK if resident in a very-high alert level area, or avoid staying overnight in a very-high alert level area if resident elsewhere.

What are the implications therefore at NPGC?

Consuming alcohol

• An alcohol order will ONLY be taken alongside an order for a substantial table meal.
• A sandwich on its own is not a substantial table meal but a sandwich served with chips is; a single sausage roll is not a substantial meal but served with accompaniments it would be considered substantial – these are just some examples.
• To encourage members to continue to use the clubhouse, the menu will be adapted to offer value-for-money substantial meals.
• Sharing a single meal would not be deemed a substantial meal.
• Drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) will be brought out before the food arrives.  Further drinks may then be purchased but once the meal has been eaten, only ONE further drink may be purchased and you will have to leave within a reasonable time.
• You can have a 3-course meal!

No mixing of households 

• Households are NOT allowed to mix indoors.
• Households are NOT allowed to mix outdoors either.
• Therefore only ONE person per table inside or outside (unless from the same household).

Hot drinks and snacks will be takeaway only, meaning they can’t be consumed in the clubhouse; this includes:

• Coffee and tea.
• Cakes and flapjacks etc.
• Bacon / sausage breakfast rolls and other sandwiches.

Kitchen opening hours

• 10.30 – 17.00 Mon – Fri.
• 10.30 – 18.00 Sat – Sun.
• Half-way house will still be open as usual at weekends.

What remains unchanged?

• Playing of golf outdoors (including the driving range) may continue in its current format.
• Pro’s Shops may remain open with mandatory wearing of face coverings.
• Face coverings must also be worn in all public areas of the clubhouse, except for whilst eating and drinking.
• A legal obligation for clubs to collect track and trace information on all visitors to the clubhouse and to retain this information for 21 days.

Thank you for your co-operation

• Please can all members respect staff – we are trying to ensure these rules are followed so please do not be offended if we remind you if a rule is being broken.  Anyone not complying will not be served and may be asked to leave.
• If these rules are not followed, NPGC may be fined; clubs and venues are being checked by inspectors.
• Remember – these are government rules, not ours!
• This is a difficult time for us all and we need your support.

Face coverings must be worn in our Pro Shop & Clubhouse. Please also scan our QR code on your NHS Track & Trace App when visiting us, we have many posters displaying the information

“From Monday 14th September, golf clubs should be cognisant of a change in the law which limits the size of indoor and outdoor group gatherings in England to six people.

On the course: Golf can continue to be played in accordance with existing ‘Play Safe, Stay Safe’ guidance. Groupings must not consist of more than six people.

Off the course: Clubhouses can continue to cater for multiple groups each containing a maximum of six people from different households. However, golfers in one group must avoid merging with golfers from another group to create a single gathering in excess of six people.

Society and team event organisers should take special care to ensure different groups of six from within their party do not merge to form larger groups before, during or after a round. Travel to and from golf venues should continue to be in accordance with government regulations”

Our Staff are working very hard to keep everyone safe, however you may experience some delays in service both within the Clubhouse/ Courtyard & Pro Shop – please be kind & patient to all our staff
