Delivery of Critical Services

We continue to provide critical services and these are currently operating without issue.

Golf

We have put plans in place to safely open golf courses, with some restrictions, from Friday 29 May (pending final confirmation from the First Minister on 28 May). We have carefully considered national guidance on safe play and are taking the following interim measures to ensure we comply:

-All courses will be open for social play only;

-Tee times will be restricted;

-Customers can play up to two rounds per week to allow fair access and ensure social distancing requirements are maintained;

-Full season ticket memberships remain suspended. As we can’t offer the same access to courses at the moment as we did pre-Covid, it would be inappropriate to reintroduce our traditional 8 course Season Ticket membership at this point. A temporary, new Flexi-Golf South Ayrshire membership scheme will therefore be introduced as an interim measure;

-All tee times will be available to Flexi-Golf members 7 days in advance, on a first come, first served basis;

-Customers should play at their nearest course to comply with current travel restrictions.

We look forward to welcoming golfers back and are committed to re-opening our facilities safely to ensure the wellbeing of customers and staff. We will review the above measures on an ongoing basis and adapt them as national guidance allows. More information on these interim measures can be found on our website.
