New Verandah Approved by Planning

We are delighted to announce that the new verandah project (developed with and co-funded by England Golf) has been approved by the Wycombe Planning Team.  This will be built this spring (May).

This is a further Play Safe. Stay Safe initiative, enabling greater usage of the patio area between the bar and the orangery.

Know any ladies who want to get into golf or back into golf after a break???

England Golf are very keen to attract more women into golf and we are one of the first clubs to really get behind their new charter.

PRGC are making this incredible offer in the first instance to the lady friends of our membership.. Last year we successfully attracted 4 new lady members into the club and this year our target is to double that to 8!

Please ask your friends to contact us via the website Ladies Get Into Golf Contact Us Form - Princes Risborough Golf Club

We will extend the offer beyond our membership in mid February unless we have already taken on our target 8 new recruits 🙂

Thank you

ps this offer is only valid for new members.

 

Masks from Car Park to Course – Next Steps

We would like to thank all of our members and e-Player Card holders for their support for the new safety measures PRGC brought in during Tier 4.  Feedback was unanimously positive; it  made our golfers feel safer and helped them enjoy their experience just that little bit more.

When we return to Tier 4 or 3 in the near future we will be continuing with this Play Safe, Stay Safe strategy.

Just prior to lock down we had some supportive messages  prepared to act as helpful reminders...

  • On the paths leading to the 1st / 10th tees we have created 4 waiting areas - each enabling golfers to remain 2m apart
    - 1 and 3 are waiting areas for the 1st tee.
    - 2 and 4 are waiting areas for people feeding in from the 10th.  Masks at 2 and 4 are only required when the course is busy and there is a queue for the 1st.
  • After completing your round you are asked to wear your mask again as you leave the course and return to the car park.  We have also placed some reminder messages here.

Other measures to support this initiative are:

  • Mandatory Check In procedures on website
  • All appointment confirmations and reminder emails have a 'masks between car park and course' message.
  • Clear communication that the only 'social' is on the course not in the car park

We would like to particularly thank John White and the Friday Stableford team who initiated and trialled this on behalf of the club.  Another great example of what makes this club so special - going one step beyond wherever we can.
