What happens if the weather means we cannot play golf?

In the event that the golf course is closed, the Hotel will find an alternative date or issue bad weather vouchers. Once play has commenced rights are waived to bad weather vouchers and / or refund.
If the course is closed due to weather 24 hrs prior to your event and the hotel expects you will not be able to play the course, the hotel will contact you to notify you. You can choose to either cancel your stay and provided this is rescheduled in the next 12 months no cancellation fee will apply or attend your event and be provided with a credit note of £15 per player that can be used in the Resort. Any deposits paid will be retained and offset against your next visit.
Should the weather be poor on the day of the event and the course is closed, all catering, accommodation and additional arrangements will continue as planned and we will provide each golfer with a voucher for a complimentary round of golf.
