Winter Golf

Fairway mats are in use on all courses (except the 9 hole Balgove Course) between the months of November and February inclusive. The use of mats extends to the end of March on the Old and Castle Courses. In 2021, mats won't come into use until 1 December on the New, Jubilee, Eden and Strathtyrum Courses. Find out more about fairway mats here.

There's no need to book trolleys in advance, simply turn up and hire them from the starter's boxes of the New, Jubilee and Balgove Courses, the reception desk in the Eden Clubhouse for the Eden and Strathtyrum Courses and The Castle Course reception desk for The Castle Course. There are no restrictions on trolleys for these courses. More info

While winter tees will be in place which can shorten the course, play will always be to the normal green (no temporaries in place) although course openings may be delayed should there be any frost. Please check our bad weather policy to understand the procedure with lost tee-times.

Please be aware that annual winter maintenance can lead to a number of bunkers being repaired and therefore out of play. This may also include some of the most famous named bunkers on the Old Course as their popularity leads to an annual rebuild of the revetted face.
