Why can't I book in for 18 holes?
Due to the high demand for golf at the moment, we need to ensure that as many players as possible are able to enjoy Burnley Golf Course during stage 3 restrictions. Therefore we have decided that we will not offer 18 hole rounds at this stage.
Why can’t I play with my club during our designated tee times?
As a public course, we are committed to ensuring that all members of our community have equal access to Burnley Golf Course and because golf is now one of the few forms of permitted exercise, we want to ensure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to play.
What are we doing to minimise health risks at the course and facilities?
We will remain vigilant in implementing infection control procedures, including COVID-19 Infection Control Training for all our staff, regular cleaning in accordance with DHHS recommendations, the promotion of healthy hygiene habits and making hand sanitiser available for staff and patrons to use.
How can I stay in the loop?
Stay up to date with stage 3 restrictions and what they mean for you with the Coronavirus DHHS website.
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and keep and eye on the news section of our website.
