11/05/20 Halfpenny Green Golf Course Phased Reopening
We have received significant enquiries on our reopening plans and will now initiate a phased reopening from this Wednesday 13th May. However, we will not sacrifice the safety of our members or staff and therefore new guidelines have been put into place.
This statement will outline the preparation and precautions that the club management are taking to ensure that players Halfpenny Green can safely return to the course.
These guidelines have been developed with the health and safety of players and staff as this guiding principle. It is likely that these guidelines will be updated as and when government guidance is updated.
For the safe re-opening of our course the following guidelines will be implemented:
Only players who have pre-booked via phone on 01902 326682 or email on info@halfpennygreen.com and are scheduled to play will be permitted to play or enter the club premises. Bookings made via other platforms cannot be guaranteed.

As the clubhouse will be closed this also means that the gym, coffee shop and toilets will not be in operation
