A day out on the course.
We’d love for you to have a great day at penwortham, and enjoy your golf. hopefully the weather is kind, and you can experience everything our great sport has to offer.
For the benefit of everyone using the course, we do have some rules and regulations we ask all our members and visitors to abide by. This helps us maintain an environment that is safe, pleasant and welcoming.
prior to play
Each player must be a bona fide golfer with a handicap issued by a golf club or a recognised golfing society.
Handicap certificates should be produced on request. Failure to do so may result in a player being refused permission to play the course.
Each player must be equipped with a set of clubs, with the sharing of clubs forbidden.
The correct green fee for the day must be paid prior to commencing play. In cases where the Professional’s Shop is closed, visitors should contact either the Club Manager or Bar Staff. Unless the Club Manager has given prior permission, visitors are requested to arrange to play in maximum groups of three.
Ride-on Buggies are available for rental through the Pro’s Shop. We encourage anyone wanting to hire a buggy to pre-book through the Pro Shop or the Office. These are available to any golfers wishing to use them, throughout the season (April - September inclusive)*.
