‘Funday’ (MumDay) Scramble… a winner!

So we tested out the Funday Scramble.  We didn't know what driver to use or how long it would take or how we would enjoy it - but what a great way to spend some quality time with your mum (or son, or daughter or partner or guest).

We had a laugh, mum sunk some putts and obviously we had to take her drive on the 2nd.  We just did 5  holes on our first outing but we were just 3 over par! and finished in an hour for a coffee / pint in the clubhouse  🙂

Loved it!!

Worth mentioning to friends interested in joining…

We recently introduced a new offer for potential new members. It essentially allows e-Player Cards to dip their toes in the membership water and it makes it affordable for couples to share a trial membership...

If you have friends who may be interested - why not let them know about our Flexi Share Offer...

TNT Sports Coverage in the Clubhouse…

For those that enjoy their football - please see the Premier League coverage for TNT sports, being shown in the clubhouse.

Car Park Update – Phase 2…

Phase 1 means that on busy mornings, all of these cars in the lower car park area can now fit comfortably along the back fence

Phase 2.1 The car park has been widened by removing the foliage under the tree / hedge line

Phase 2 .2 still work in progress but foliage tidied to widen car park and add further capacity

Phase 3 will start shortly and there will be some minor disruption at the bottom of the car park which we will give members notice of in due course.

Sneak Preview of New Buggies – Arriving in circa 6 weeks!

Buggy News: More on the Way!

Demand for buggies has continued to grow—so much so that we've invested in two more! These little beauties are expected to arrive in around six weeks' time.

In preparation, Jack and the GK team have been hard at work on the course, continuing their buggy path programme, and making improvements in the car park to create space for the new arrivals.

We’re excited to expand our fleet and make your experience even better!

 

Car Park Update – Will Effect Monday Parking

ALERT - CAR PARK DISRUPTION THIS MONDAY -  PLEASE PARK CAREFULLY

Please note that there will be some disruption to car parking this Monday as we make planned enhancements to the car park.  We calculate that we will still have plenty of space for you to park, but please be  patient with the works going on.  Thank you.

Phase one:

Clear the rear of the car park along the metal fence to enable cars to park in front of it, all the way to the new warm up nets - complete

Outstanding work by Jack and team to complete this clearance without disruption to members - thank you!

Work will continue to improve the entrance area to the warm up nets and the area used to practise your short game.

Phase two:

Clear the foliage under the trees on the upper side of the car park - timing from Monday 18th August - please use new space now cleared along the back fence to park

Phase three:

Building new corner shed in dead space in corner of car park - freeing space in the buggy sheds - over next 4-6 weeks

Phase four:

New buggies arrive in circa 6 weeks and no new car park space will be required to house them

Increasing the size and efficiency of the car park is incredibly important for the convenience of our growing membership.  More car park updates / initiatives to follow over the next few weeks...

Phase 1: New Car Parking Spaces Now Available Along Newly Cleared Back Fence

Phase 2: Clearing Foliage and Widening Car Park

Phase 3: Optimising Corner Space for Storage

You Said – We Did

Further to our note on the importance of using the Customer Service Book - we promised some examples of action taken against these comments...

We will provide further You Said - We Did examples through the year.
