What to Wear, Conduct, Health & Safety

We are delighted to share Knaresborough Golf Club and its facilities with visitors, who are regarded as members for the day. A few pieces of guidance to make your day go swimmingly:

  • Dresscode
    We politely ask all our members, guests and visitors to abide by the following Dress Codes

    On The Course

    All Players

    • All appropriate recognised golf wear may be worn in the manner for which it was designed.
    • No Denim wear, cargo shorts, beachwear or tracksuits are permitted.
    • Juniors under the age of 12 are not bound by these dress codes, but parents/carers are encouraged to provide appropriate clothing where possible

    In the Clubhouse bar and restaurant

    • All appropriate recognised golf wear may be worn in the manner for which it was designed.
    • Day to day policy is relaxed smart casual – Jeans are perfectly acceptable providing they are not ripped.
    • No muddied or wet clothing.
    • No golf waterproofs.
    • No dirty shoes.
    • No headwear to be worn.

     

    The interpretation of these rules is at the sole discretion of the Managing Secretary, the Professional, the Bar Manager or any officer of the Club, as available.    The rules may be varied on a function by function basis as required, and where they are this will be notified in advance.

  • Conduct

    In everyone’s interest we request that visitors and guests show consideration for other players, in avoiding slow play; repairing divots and pitch marks; and in raking bunkers.

  • Health and Safety

    Whatever your choice of golfing footwear, we have to point out that none are guaranteed to prevent a slip on hard, wet or inclined surfaces. Please take care and be aware that the Club can take no responsibility for falls or other injurious mishaps.

    Players have a duty of care not to behave in such a way that others may be injured by their actions. They also have a duty of care not to injure themselves.

  • Fog & Ice

    The fact that the Course may not have been officially closed does not warrant that it is fit to play.

    If conditions are foggy and you are unable to see where the ball is likely to land, or ground conditions are such that it is impossible to judge how far the ball is likely to travel, DO NOT PLAY!

    Playing in such circumstances is dangerous – players do so at their own risk

  • Lightning

    If there is a risk of lightning, play MUST be discontinued.

    Players MUST proceed in accordance with Rule 6-8 of the Rules of Golf, whether or not the klaxon is sounded.

    Play is automatically discontinued on the sound of one long blast of the klaxon and a player MAY NOT override a club official’s decision in this respect. In these circumstances, play will be resumed on the sound of 2 long blasts of the Klaxon.

    Please note that all the above guidance is extracted from the Club’s byelaws and may not represent the full extent of our terms and conditions. Further information is available on request.
