Health and Safety information

Work on the Courses

Please be vigilant when our Greenkeepers and outside contractors are working on our Courses. Please DO NOT play a shot toward them until you KNOW that they are aware that you are about to play.

Soft Spikes:

Soft spikes may slip on hard, wet or inclined surfaces. Golfers who choose to wear soft spikes do so at their own risk. Wearers of metal spikes should ensure that they are in good repair and not heavily worn. We have applied a covering of synthetic turf to our sleeper bridges around the Manor course to prevent slipping.

Deer Ticks: 

During the summer deer ticks can be found in the rough.They attach themselves to bare flesh and as such only tend to be a problem if you are wearing shorts and short socks. If you are concerned please wear long trousers.  These ticks can carry Lyme's Disease so if you find that you have one please visit your GP.  The symptoms of Lyme's Disease are detailed HERE and it is easily treated withantibiotics.

Shouting "FORE":

If you hit a shot off line or toward an area where you believe people may be standing, it is vital that you shout "FORE" quickly and loudly enough for them to hear you and take avoiding action if appropriate.
