Frequently Asked Questions

How does the points system work?
Points are loaded onto your membership card. Each time you play you must book a tee time (or ensure your name appears on the tee sheet if booked by another member or entering a rollup). The appropriate number of points are automatically deducted from your account.

What if my names does not appear on the Tee Sheet before playing ? 
It is your responsibility to ensure your name appears on the tee booking system and you have correctly booked for 9 or 18 Holes. Members found on the course without having done so will have their membership suspended for 1 month and revoked if the offence is repeated. - The Club Manager and Marshals will inspect bag tags at random times.

How do I top up my points?
Top up points may be purchased at any time from the Bar; you can decide how many points to buy according to how many times you wish to play in multiples of 50, minimum purchase £50. If you purchase the higher bundles you will receive up to 50 Bonus Points.
