Visiting Party Information

We hope you enjoy your forthcoming visit to Wigan Golf Club. I can assure you of a very warm welcome, and hope the following guidelines will be helpful.

Could you telephone the Club, 14 days before the event with the proposed numbers in the party, and to finalise the menu for dinner and any other catering arrangements either for lunch or coffee and bacon sandwiches on arrival.

Pre- ordering of these would be greatly appreciated.
The Club must receive Confirmation of actual numbers for the Catering 48 hours prior to the booking. Any meals cancelled later than this, will be liable for payment.
The Clubhouse will be a Smoke Free Area from July 1, 2007

Could I kindly draw your attention to our dress code:

• Gentlemen must wear Jacket and Tie in the Clubhouse after 6.30pm and in the Dining Room at all times.
  The usual dress code for the game of golf applies. I’m sure your party will avoid the following:
• Trainers, denim, shirt tails out of trousers, collarless T shirts, Caps worn back to front.
• Tailored shorts to the knee may be worn on the course, by Gentlemen, with knee length socks. (We have a small supply of knee length socks for sale behind the bar)
  I do hope you will convey our dress code to your members.

Visitors are responsible for any damage or injury they might cause on the Club’s property, or to other people there; and that they should have appropriate insurance.

On your arrival please introduce yourself to the Assistant Secretary, Andrea or Steward, Stewardess, Ian and Marcia McVinnie, they will make sure your day will be enjoyable.

Play holes 1 to 9 then follow the signs for visitors exit. Enclosed is a score card to assist you. Course planners are available to purchase from the bar at £3.50.

We do operate a scheme whereby one or two members will volunteer to assist you on arrival and again on the first tee. If such volunteers are on duty on your day, they will introduce themselves to you.

We look forward to your visit, should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Etiquette

Etiquette is an essential aspect of any golf course. Here are five important points to remember when playing the course:

• Please remember to replace all divots that you make properly.
• If you play in a bunker please remember to rake it properly after you have finished.
• Once on the green, please remember to repair your pitch mark.
• When putting please take care when removing and replacing the flag.
• Please be aware of other people who are playing near you, if they are about to play please stand still and be quiet so not to distract them.
