An invoice will be given to you towards the end of your day which can be paid immediately or by cheque within 7 days. Major Credit and Debit cards are accepted if you wish to pay by this method.

Please advise your final numbers no later than 48 hours before your day as food invoices are determined on that basis.

Our rates apply to a minimum of 12 players which is also our minimum charge.

Please note the reservation fee will be deducted from your costs for the day. In the event of cancellation by you the reservation fee is not returned as it is a non-refundable deposit.

On the Course

Starting times for your players should be arranged as follows:

• 2 Ball - 5 minute intervals
• 3 Ball - 7 minute intervals
• 4 Ball - 8 minute intervals (PM only)

If possible we suggest you put your lower handicap golfers out early in your programme.

Please note that "Texas Scramble" is not an acceptable form of play.

Goring & Streatley is a course for golfers who have some proficiency in the game and you are advised that players of insufficient ability can cause a problem to both you and us. Each player is expected to have a certified club or society handicap of 28 (gentlemen) or 36 (ladies) or less which can be shown on request.

Buggies:

For golf societies booked from mid-April to mid-October we have buggies available for hire, subject to ground conditions being suitable.

To reserve one or more buggies please advise when booking – the number required/available can be arranged subsequently.
