Please show courtesy and consideration to all members by maintaining social distance and respiratory etiquette at all times. Please use the soap, wipes and hand sanitizer provided around the club. To facilitate track and tracing we encourage all members to use BRS when playing the course at any time. Even if there are no names on the time sheet please use the system.
Everyone will agree the course are greens are in great shape, it’s in everybody’s interest to keep the high standards we have become used to so we are asking all members to repair pitch marks on the greens and replace divots. If cutting in at the 12th tee box can members make sure there’s no one coming down the 11th hole, your cooperation on these issues would be appreciated.
