A reminder as we head towards the new autumn term, that as of next Tuesday 8^th September, the course will be closed for pupils’ use only between 2.00pm and 6.00pm Monday to Friday. Term time dates are as follows:

Autumn Term (Oration Quarter)

Please also note the Course will be closed for a School fixture from 1:00pm on Sunday 1^st November 2020. Please ensure you are clear of the course by 1:00pm.

Guest Players and Cafe Facilities

Members may now bring guests to play the golf course. This will mean that all guest players will once again need to buy a guest green fee ticket from the Charterhouse Club Reception before playing. Please note that the Charterhouse Club’s opening hours have changed significantly and Reception is only open until 1.30pm each day. Members wishing to play a round with a guest in the afternoon or evening will now need to think ahead and buy guest fees either in the morning of the day in question or at the weekend for the week ahead.

To facilitate this and in a change to the previous arrangements, Golf Club members will now be able to buy guest fees in advance of the intended play date. However, when buying the guest green fee, in order to comply with COVID19 Track and Trace measures you will need to state the date and time you and the guest intend to play. This information MUST be entered on to the green fee ticket as it is sold and will be recorded in the Green Fee sales book that is kept at Reception. Please note that if the you do not know when you intends to play with the guest or do not have the name of the guest, we cannot sell the guest green fee.

Please ensure that you deposit one half of the Guest Green Fee ticket in the box in the Hut and record the guest’s visit (date and time of play) in the book also in the Hut.
